Inspector General Of Police Ban Illegal Accessing Of Mobile Phones by mrofficial(m): 7:02pm On Jan 04, 2016
Officers of the Nigerian police force have been banned from illegal accessing of mobile phones of citizens by the Inspector-general of police, Solomon Arase.

In a circular issued by the IGP today, January 4, the IGP mandated the police officers to protect right of private and families.

The number police officer urged members of the public to contact @PoliceNG_CRU should any officer illegally search their phones.

Naij.com can authoritatively report that officers of the Nigerian police force in recent times have been engaging in illegal searching of citizens’ mobile phones despite properly identifying themselves.

Investigation by this newspaper revealed that the act is practiced by officers of the police force within the Lagos and Ogun state border towns in Ojodu, Ogba, Iju Alagbole, Akute and environs.

Tho, the madness is only common on the Mainland. Me and my friends in Banana Island don't know such. cheesy

But seriously, that's another good step forward. It irks me that someone will just go through my phones looking into my privacy and all just because the ragtag is putting on uniform from nowhere and who can happen to be a common criminal in uniform.

These guys have extorted me once with it. Bought a Samsung S4 from computer village and after their usual madness of going through phones, I was asked to sign in to a Samsung account that was on it. I told them that I didn't own the email. The next was that, they took me to the station accusing me of me being a fraudster. After much time wasting, I parted with 5k in order not to be late for the wedding I was going to.

Good decision by the IGP. Goes to show that the PMB government respects the fundamental rights of law abiding citizens.

Until nigerian police are fitted with body cam, it will take the grace of God for them to comply with citizens favourable directives
