Honestly, it's complicated! So, in Nigeria, governors actually have something called immunity while they’re in office, which means they basically can’t be arrested or prosecuted for anything until they stop being governor. That’s why you almost never hear about a sitting governor getting in serious legal trouble, even if crazy stuff comes out, like family drama or big scandals. I remember learning about it in school and thinking, wow, that’s pretty risky.

But that doesn’t mean accusations just disappear. If things get really bad, or if there's enough evidence and pressure from the public or media, investigators might start looking into things quietly, collecting reports or making plans for after the governor’s term. Once the governor is out of office, they can actually be arrested or charged, like what happened with some ex-governors before. In this Akwa Ibom governor situation, though, with the daughter making big claims, everyone wants to know if the police or government will take it seriously or just ignore it because he's still governor. Either way, it's super stressful for the family and brings a lot of questions about how much protection politicians get in Nigeria.
