Mr. Aboyomi noted down some points on your responsibilities during police encounter. One of the numerous points he made is that “you, bag & car can be searched without warrant.”

A lot of people are of the opinion that the police should not search them unless they have a warrant to do so.

On the issue of police officers searching individuals without warrant, the ACP just cleared the air.

Nigerian police and their rude attitude towards Nigerian citizens especially when they are with one rusty gun.

This one they are now talking about searching without warrant, they will search and if nothing is found they will drop illegal items in bags, cars houses, people's pockets just to make sure one is found guilty so they can make money.

Just look at this one enjoying himself by the pool side of Bethesda.

Danelo:
W

he ought to write search respectfully and politely..... Not open ur Bag!!!!

The Nigerian police have been doing that for ages.

Tell us something new.

And then the constitution says you need a warrant! We Nigerians are confused set of beings roaming the earth!!

How this guy is still in the NPF is beyond me.

He’s just the face of the NPF. He is the perfect description of NPF

Okay Sir.

coorect

Uhmmm

Unfortunately , the guy is right! If you don't want to be search at the checkpoint then you can go ahead to the station for more inspection.

One thing I've learnt about police encounter is that you need to open your eyes and ears, it's not all them that are coming to abuse you or harass you. E.g

I was pulled over at a checkpoint recently, i was driving a fully tinted car that you won't even see anything unless i tap down the windows. This guys are with CIB. I picked up my vehicle paper and tint permit etc from the safe and locked the car because you never can tell what next. When i gave him the papers, he check the tint permit and requested for the original and i told him i rarely go out with that since i have a copy.

He insisted, i explained to him that I've been driving around with this permit for a while now and no issues. He said i shouldn't say that cos police different from police, I was like really?? Issokay. So what's gonna happen now, he told the other guy to take me to the station. I didn't budge because i know say i no dey go any station today. So i con ask am say but why him wan make my day worse, this thing we you dey hold me for na minor thing, he said no it's not minor. Then he dropped this points

He said the government does give tint permit for cars except for SUV's, that i won't be surprised if i see say na another suv dem use prepare my permit. I was like you don't mean it!

He also said how can i tint my car so dark that nobody can see the inside at all, he said for my own safety it is bad. Some trigger happy cops might shoot at the car claiming that we're not able to see the inside.

He even said almost 95% of criminals have dark tint.

he gave me lot of instances, that was when i realized that this guys are giving me advice and it's left for me to take it.

To cut the story short, I told them i really appreciate what they're telling me and I'll be going to get rid of the dark tint and make it more visible to avoid unnecessary attention. Naso dem leave me when they notice say i don get the message.

The moral of the story is that, when you have encounter with the police. try as much as possible not to make the issues escalate, they are reasonable ones among them.

Shoutout to C clear!

they rarely search coffins !!!!
they are not police for the dead !!!

Hegoat
Thunder seal your anus there
Miscreant

What of your phone

Your phone nko ?

They can only search you if they have probable cause. Without that, anything they find from the search should be illegal and should not be admissible in a law court.
But, again we are in Nigeria where the rule of law is not sacrosanct and the citizens have no value in the sight of the people who have the power.

In sane countries, police can stop you and search if everything looks suspicious, they don't need warrant for that now.

How do they bust guys with guns and drugs over there? Nigerians should chill and allow d police do their job biko

Not in a saner clime
What else do you expect from a country where head is mainly used as a means of carrying heavy loads.

The next thing he'll mention now is that
if you resist to be searched, they have the right to shoot you

There was a country

Police is your friend


Can your friend search your bag, and purse and phone.... And when you object you are beating like igbos pound fufu, and thrown behind counter while you sit there like amala looking at ewedu, later you are asked to pay money for bail, meanwhile your account is white like Hausa people tuwo.



Na true.... Police na your friend

From what I see in movies, warrants are needed to search a house, office. Police don't need warrants to search cars.

but it should be in a polite manner pls

Why would I ever like The Shit hole Police?

He even looks wicked ... He's right tho

In a case of suspicion the police doesn't need a warrant to search you, and to me stop and search isn't wrong. With the level of crime these days its necessary. So if one has nothing in their cupboard there is nothing to be afraid of. Just cooperate with the police, the calm and collect and avoid all provocations. Some of them are agents sent to take lives.

They will need to prove probable cause for executing the search, and if they cannot. Even if you're found with kilos of heroin with the intent to distribute. The arresting officer would have only blown the case.
