funny thing she keeps saying this,over and over again yet nothing is been done to this police officers that still forcefully take your phones from you. At least make a scape goat out of one of them,maybe then some sanity will return to the dead brain cells.

We know. Tell your colleagues

Tell that to the illiterate in the Special Anti-Robbery Squad

Loud it oo, let them hear well.

Instead of telling his boys, he'll be telling us.

Ok we don hear.

they keep repeating this thrash and your boys keep killing our youths for nothing



please educate your extra illiterate man no man recruited boys and save us this useless rhythm

No be today we dey hear this

Story for the Gods , No today we just dey hear say na back yansh dey .

There is nothing to be done... according to her... the commanders for the various areas have never spared any officer who ehmmm.... misbehaved.

Speak with your fists, Cop
Are SARS not cops?
Aren't you the boss?!
Go on Tv and reclaim back the rights of those you swore to serve
.......remember,

thank you ma'am, we've heard you. Dont worry, to avoid story that touches the heart, we'd just give it to them to prove we do not have cockroach in our cupboard...

By the time you chop slap, na you go drop am

if you know your right, them go fear you. They know most Nigerians don't even know their right and will continue to prey on you.

Nigeria Police should sponsor public radio announcement on this. At least a jingle to that announcement will be far reaching and profound than this subtle reminder

Them go dey beAt you sotey, sotey, sotey, sotey. Your phone go turn public phone sotey, sotey sotey, you go confessed wetin you nor do sotey, sotey sotey...

Mynd44:
Police officers have no right to do that except there is a reasonable ground to do so

That's such a weasel phrase since the definition of "reasonable ground" is left solely to the discretion of the officers. In other words, the PRO has not said anything meaningful or different from the status quo: your phone will be searched at the demand of the officer, and woe betide you if you refuse.

People shouting "my right my right"... plenty have died because of dragging rights. Who e epp?

Bail is Free, but they still collect money until a lawyer gets involved

Nigeria is beyond redemption

He didn't add if there is a warrant from the court. Of course they have a right to check the phone.

When you employ illiterates as police officers in a country that has over a million unemployed graduates in different fields that would do far better jobs when they stop people for checks.

The government won't take that step because a part of the country will have less police officers.

There is a tribe pulling Nigerian back cos of their lack of wisdom and foresight.

you can insult me but the truth needs to be said no matter how painful.

if SARS give you one slap u go bring everything way day de phone,���

internationalman:
Tell you people they don't have right to check our phones instead...

Because we are just as helpless as a sick cockroach in the mist of fowl when we are asked to bring our phone for checking..



As for the people who will come on this thread to make mouth, pray you don't meet a trigger happy SARS offical. Yoy may not be lucky to tell your story.

So true...

That means we should refuse to give out our phones even when the policemen are armed and extremely dangerous.

Ok

in fact, I prefer to pass where the SARS men are operating, its very even safe for me to do so, they always mind their business when they see me, even though I have seen them harassed people several time, so many times they have sighted me on the road, asked questions and I answered them and go my way.

Mynd44:

This here said it all. They will always claim there is a reasonable ground. Nigeria police still acting like we are in military era and stone age at the same time.

My phone was still searched 5 days ago by SARS operatives within my area.. told them about the circulated info that no officer should randomly search anyone’s phone and they just laughed and waved it aside like I didn’t know what I was saying .
