This is really good and a welcome development. The police have no right to access people's phones without any tangible recourse to do so.

I remember an incident that happened to me in Festac years ago. I was making calls and on getting to a police check point these mofos stopped me and started asking silly questions. From the receipt of the car spare parts I went to buy at Ladipo to the reason I was in possession of more than one phone. Before I knew it one of them dragged my phone and started assessing it.

To my utter dismay and shock the mofo opened a text message of a western union transfer a brother had made to me and said I must be a yahoo boy. With all pleading and explanation falling on deaf ears I was taking to their station in Festac. Safe for the timely intervention of a friend who was driving pass and saw when we were going to the station and followed us, I would have found myself behind bars for no reason. Did I mention we parted ways with 25K just to secure my release? These thieves are crazy.

Nwanne'm oh! You 4ked up. You should have told them these:

Don't you know who I be?
Are you shitting me
Am from the states men, and this right here is messed up
Nigger better ask about me
Cuz it's about to go down in this murda..
I ain't no snitch
And I ain't snitching to no damn cops...
grin grin grin


On topic, the police and NA (followed by Navy) are the worst set of human beings we have in Nigeria, especially when it comes to dealing with law abiding citizen. Imagine that some foolish police officers on mufty blocked me back in 2011 when I was on IT. They asked for my bag and started searching it. Luckily for me, I left my laptop at home so the fools asked me to keep moving when they didn't see anything in my bag (apart from my changeover cloth). Chai, I vex eh, but I no fit shout...
