Nairaland General › Re: My Experience Today With A Police Officer by maykam(op): 7:09am On Oct 13, 2017 |
UbanmeUdie:

This encounter of yours is one you should be proud of. Reason being that, you succeeded in repelling the intimidation of the supposed police officer to examine your phone for alleged criminal files.
However, I think you were simply lucky! The said police officer clearly proved to be a mediocre or might even be fake.
Effective policing does not work with a one man squad kind of thing. I am very sure if you had met a team of fierce looking police officers, the phrase "my right" would have not crossed your mind but a humble submission of your phone would have been the outcome.
It is absolutely wrong and against the police criminal code for an officer of the law to search your property without a certified warrant.
But c'mon, this is Nigeria where even the President does not follow due process nor upholds the constitution. So, you can imagine why even the enforcers of the law misbehave and pride in it.
Finally, young man I think you were just at the right place and at the right time with a hungry police man bathed in mediocrity trying to take advantage of you. Thank God you stood your ground.
But here is a piece of advance, if na SARS or Soldier say make u tender your phone for inspection whether their are incriminating files, pls humble yourself and do it happily as long as u know say u are clean.
Else....................I am sure u can picture the movie that will play out. thanks for this. The police man wasn't fake because he showed me his Identity card, of which I obliged for a search, but if na SARS and soldier, I for oblige and let them check so far I don't have anything incriminating. But the way the police parade ordinary people these days is alarming and I think there's need for a halt to it. |
Nairaland General › My Experience Today With A Police Officer by maykam(op): 7:02pm On Oct 12, 2017 |
Today would be one of my worst days as I couldn't disgrace the police officer who soiled my image in the mud. Below is the detailed story of what ensued
"my friend and I were on our way to work this afternoon, having alighted from a cab, I was with my friend's phone, samsung S5, and I fixed the earpiece in my ears enjoying Olamide's Wo when an unscrupulous element ran towards us, amid trying to catch his breath, he commanded, "lemme look at your phone!" pretending as if we didn't hear what he said we continued walking and suddenly, he dragged me by my wrist, "lemme see your phone!" he repeated, this time, his voice had gathered enough pitch and this created a scene. I insisted on not letting out the phone if the man who identified himself as a police officer didn't give a reason. After so much efforts, and people's intervention, he revealed that he wanted to check our phone If we were YAHOO GUYS, and I was like wtf, so because I held samsung S5 means I do yahoo, though we maintained our rights, and didn't give him the phone, we kept yelling it's our private property and we can't let him access it just like that without a warrant, when he noticed we were fearless and wouldn't succumb to this threat, he released us!
Dear Fellow Nairalanders, has this ever occurred to you? Don't you think there's need to condemn this attitude of the Nigeria Police? I only heard of cases of such until it happened to me. To me I'll term it defamation of character. |

Nowenuse: Everyone knows Islam is a problematic religion. Can u ever say that about christianity? The advantages of christianity far outnumber what our useless traditional religions which kept our continent in darkness could not do for us! and noone knows christianity isn't one? Do you know the toll of deaths that has been recorded through christianity? My brother, all because you want to adore or praise your religion, you don't need to condemn mine. You have your religion to yourself, I have mine to myself. Shikena! |

Marleek: Nairalanders will only raise your hopes or discourage you. None of us works in the admission dept but we only comment based on sentiment. You have a very good grade tho but medicine is the miat competitive course in Unilag(in fact Nigeria) Unilag dont admit much via utme for medicine because there are jupeb students that will join in 200lvl. Jupeb is around 450,000 so you see why they must give them admission. At least 80% of unilag medical students got in through jupeb. thanks namesake. |
