And what if the person is perceived to be a Bandit. Even the American Police whose laws we are imitating will search to make sure there's no weapon on you For self defense during arrest

You can be given a rub down, your pockets, car can be searched if you’re suspected to be in possession of something.

But they need sufficient reason and a warrant to search your phone or house or office.

They have not finished chasing armed robbers and kidnappers or one chance operators but they wanna search phones of civilians and arrest or harass civilians for immoral dressing?

So pathetic!

I was almost falling for this until he put up his number for call... If you still want to live long... Do not claim you know your rights when a policeman asks to search your phone. Just hand over your phone jejely...

I'm speaking from experience...

Sadly, you are right.

The CP should make media publication on it via TV station twice in a month so as the public will be informed and guard their liberty

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu on Thursday said policemen have no right to stop people on the road and search their mobile phones, saying it is an infringement of the law.

Odumosu who spoke in Yoruba on Lagos Television’s programme ‘Owurolawa’ also said it is a criminal act for policemen to arrest young people for indecent dressing, dreadlocks or having tattoos on their bodies, saying any policeman who engages in that will be severely punished.

He said people are free to live their lives the way they want as long as they don’t violate the law.

According to him, since the assumption of office, over 20 policemen have been arrested and detained for committing one offence or another.

” We will not condone any act of indiscipline from policemen. Any policeman who violates the law will be severely punished. The law that applies to citizens also applies to policemen”.

” The law that says motorists must not drive against oncoming traffic also applies to policemen. Any policemen or soldier that drives against traffic will be arrested”

” If you see any policeman doing anything contrary to the law, my phone numbers are available. Just put a call through and we will act promptly on it” he said.
The CP who also said anyone using explosives and firecrackers during the Yuletide will be arrested said he can be reached directly on 08169589826.

Like saying bail is free as they always say at press conference when newly transferred to a state meanwhile the nearest police station to where they are being interviewed is collecting bail from people.

Nice one but how many calls can you respond to? Deploy technology that is more proactive, efficient and effective. Nigerian police can not be trusted, please try everything possible to avoid them.

These people are all useless. Why is he telling us? Is he supposed to be telling us or his uneducated policemen? Now that he has told us, what does he expect us to do? Argue with his trigger happy men? What chance does he think we the civilians stand against armed men in uniform?

The fact that he had to give his so-called personal number demonstrates everything that is wrong with Nigeria.

Our institutions are too personalised and are therefore unstable, unreliable, prone to abuse, defective, and untrustworthy. If the police as an institution cannot be self-regulating... Cannot work as it should without personal interventions here and there, then we're finished as a country.

The other day a lady was arrested by Road Safety idiots for purportedly using Google Maps. Later she was released and 'waivered' because calls were made and some senior officers intervened. Why? For God's sake why do I have to have some influence or connections in order to get justice or for things to be done the right way? This is perhaps one of our biggest problems as a country. It is despicable.

There should be a national law to this effect otherwise our police won't listen. They are worse than armed robbers. They threaten innocent people and collect money from them. Sometimes they will even request for transfer to be made to them.
