i experienced this yesterday while traveling in south west .
men of the Special anti Robbery squad stopped our bus, told me to come down and searched me.
even after identifying myself, he still insist he wants to search my phone.
i need to know if this is allowed and if any of my rights has been violated.
thanks

There is no such thing as rights in Nigeria,
All you have are privileges.
And when you are not careful, those privileges are simply deleted by the snap of a finger.

The Police can search anything searchable. Only smart people cooperate with them.

Bros, if u do anyhow u see anyhow. By d time dem go change am 4 u ehn, u go beg tire begin cry.


Maybe you looked like a wanted yahoo boy on their list.

Don't be mad at them, they were only doing their job.


One charge & bail lawyer go come here now come dey talk nonsense about rights.

Don't be a fool. Always cooperate with the police to serve you better. They are really nice people you know.


Don't forget, THE POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND!
Friends dey search friends phone na.....Lol



Nonsense!

Police will accuse you of being a Yahoo guy simply because there is a picture of a celebrity in your phone. They will suspect you have either scammed the person or used the pic to scam someone else.

Police is a friend that will use gun to force 50Naira out of motorist.

Police is your "friend".
