Vera Civic
Know where you stand under Nigerian law. Not an unverified version of it.
Whether it’s an unlawful checkpoint or a delayed salary, Vera Civic helps you find the exact Act and Section that applies to your situation.
You’re told
“Enter the Hilux. We’ll settle it at the station.”
The law says
Police may arrest you only on reasonable suspicion of a specific offence, and never in place of someone else.
Police Act 2020 · Sections 36 & 38
You’re told
“Business is slow this month. Manage this half salary, I’ll balance you later.”
The law says
Your full wage is due at the end of every pay period. An employer can hold part of it back only where the law expressly allows.
Slow business is not one of those cases, and “later” does not move the date the balance is due.

You’re told
“It’s husband and wife matter. Let the elders settle it inside.”
