Report policemen who searches or collect your phones, Force PRO urge Nigerians

The Nigeria Police Force has asked Nigerians to report any policeman who forcefully collects or searches their phones.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi made the request on his X page on Wednesday.

He said it was not proper or professional for an officer to forcefully collect and search phones or electronic equipment of any individual.

Adejobi stated that any policeman who searches the phone on the road is deviant, violates the order of the IGP and such an officer would be sanctioned.

He wrote; “Report any policeman who forcefully collects and searches your phones or electronic equipment. It’s not proper, not professional.

“They can only scrutinise your phone when such is subject to an investigation and already marked exhibit, and such is not done on the road. So, any policeman who searches the phone on the road is deviant and violates the order of the IGP and negates our SOP. He should be sanctioned”.
