Nigeria Police:
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a medical representative, Gregory Muonylilo, for allegedly video recording policemen who were arresting a commercial motorcyclist.

Nigeria Police: The policemen were said to have attempted to arrest a commercial motorcyclist for breaking the traffic law, while the suspect was recording the incident.

The suspect’s brother, Onyeka, said, “Apparently the policemen set up a checkpoint in front of his office yesterday (Monday) and were harassing okada riders. He started recording it

Nigeria Police: “The policemen saw him and became agitated. They collected his phone and left.”

“They came back around 4pm, arrested him and took him to their station.

Nigeria Police: “From Amuwo Odofin, they took him to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, where he was detained.”

Nigeria Police: PUNCH Metro learnt that ever since the dismissal of a police sergeant, Chris Omeleze, who was caught on camera demanding bribe from a motorist, policemen have become paranoid about people recording their activities.

When contacted on the telephone, Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, denied claims that the policemen were harassing the okada rider.

She also debunked claims that the victim was taken to SARS. She said he was taken to the X-Squad Department

Nigeria Police: She said, “The policemen were on legal duty and they had apprehended an okada rider for riding on a restricted route. I spoke to the man who was arrested and he never told me that the policemen were asking for bribe from the commercial motorcyclist they were trying to arrest. The man was recording and we do not know his motive.”

Reyus: Caught on tape tins. Police are becoming wise.
Its time to buy spy cam.. the pen or eye glasses type.

Kelechi2020: Ok.the article is now more descriptive.
Please if there is anyone here who lives around that area should give us first hand information on police former activites in the area so as to ascertain why this guy was arrested since the video recording must have been destroyed.
I urge the inspector general of police to make it compulsory that policemen record there activites while on duty.and the videos aired on national television.this will go a long way in enforcing discipline in police officers as well as restore the respect and confidence by citizens which has long been lost due to poor police discipline system.

herquleez: Actually, it's illegal to camera policemen on duty. I question the rationale behind that law though.

If you must do so, abeg make Dem no catch you o.

About or more ago a man's dog was shot to death by police in Texas because he was walking his dog around his neighborhood and saw SWAT team on a crime scene so he started recording the action. When the 'police approached him, his dog as man's best friend jumped out of the car via rolled down window trying to attack the officers and kaboom they pulled the trigger...

Nobody wants his arss on YouTube for some stupid shit. Moral of the story: mind your business sometimes

mr_king: Dude messed up!!! He should have been smart about it! Right now police can even kill anyone found recording their activities! So if you must record or video any crime scene, you should be smart about it! Make sure you don't get caught!!!

pato station:


The police are even becoming smarter on this matter (you know, once beaten, twice shy). They now have plain cloth officers in every illegal mission. I tried to record them one day at Opebi Roundabout focussing only on the uniformed without realizing that one of them in Mufti was behind me. Your guess as to what happened next is as good as mine. I was mercilessly beaten, my phone smashed, my glasses smashed and I have never been humiliated that way in my life. My Lawyer said I was lucky to get away with my life.

unmask: She also debunked claims that the victim was taken to SARS. She said he was taken to the X-Squad Department.
why do I fear the name X-squad?

ugsams:

It seems the idea of having some of their members in mufti to cover up and watch out for them is their new protective measure. I was codedly taking pictures at Abule Egba and one of them hit me from behind, I never knew he was a police man so I pushed him back and we started dragging for my phone. I only realized that he was one of them when he raised an alarm that I was taking their pictures and the uniformed men came to pick me. They wanted me to enter the black Maria but I refused and they accused me of violating their privacy. I was not going to argue the law with them, all I wanted was my freedom. So I tried to explain to them that I only took the picture because I was amazed as a result of the number of bikes that they seized successfully and the number of offenders arrested in the black Maria. They asked me what I wanted to do with the photo I told them that I only took it on a casual note.

All these while, they were still with my phone and after my sermon I was directed to enter the blackmaria. When I saw that my explanations couldnt help me I told their superior that am a journalist. They insisted that I must follow them to the office, i was busy pleading for my phone so that I will be leaving. After some minutes the most superior observed that there was a circumstance on ground, he came out of his vehicle and motioned them to bring me. When we got to his car, they told him I was taking photos and he told them that it was not a crime. They pointed out that it was pictures of them that I was taking and the man asked my motive and I explained to him. They also told him that am a journalist and suggested they take me to the station. The Oga in charge of the raid, asked if I have sent out the photos to my office or internet and demanded for my identity card, I said no and he requested I should delete the photos [/b]which I gladly did. He warned that [b]I should take permission next time before I take any photo and told me that if it was just the boys that came for the raid that they would have arrested and dealt with me.

Please let's be careful when taking such photos if only we must take them. Our society is not yet ready for such freedom a telephoto lens or spy camera may be helpful.
