Aminat508:
An Amiloaded blog reader complained about some set of policemen always searching people indiscriminately.

According to the Amiloaded source who also shared pictures, these police officers staying at iyana era bus stop Ijanikin, Lagos State are indiscriminately searching the phones and pockets of passersby. It was reported that they do that almost every day.

Even Google hasn't been searched like this before.

Does the police force have any right to to stop and collect someone phone to search into his privacy?

That shiit is super illegal..


Nothing found via this method is admissible in court because they did not have a valid search warrant.

Even Police stop and search checkpoints are mostly illegal as they require a warrant to do that.
Hey bro! you need to see the powers given to them.

CRU is as good as dead,after it came out too many publicity, now nothing, many policemen kicked against it, cause through social media, there lies will be exposed.

Arase tried alot, by creating social media to police the police, but this new IG dont care of police reform, policemen are back on checkpoint, looking for daily bread.
Re: Policemen Search Phones And Pockets Of Passersby In Ijanikin (Photos) by andyanders: 2:04pm On Sep 06, 2016
The present IG should do something about the activities of his men. For God's sake, the police has left what their primary duties should be and be out everywhere searching people's phone. You see most of them hang around banks and be searching some people's phone. They stop cars and immediately they see any young man inside, they ask the person to come down and they will search his phone or laptop.Most of them arrest these guys just for nothing. How can you search a person without any search warrant?

The last IG stopped these guys mounting road blocks and searching people, unless you have a case against the person. Now, they park their cars beside the road and be collecting money from public transporters.They cannot go for the robbers harassing people.

What kind of country is this?

The Nigerian police have become more of malediction than the blessing it was meant to be. I will never forget how some police officers stopped me after[b]I complimented one of them on his well ironed uniform[/b] while walking in front of their station. They demanded my phone and asked all manner of sstuupid question, said I was a Yahoo boy with no evidence whatsover, took me into their station and wasted my time. I had to churn out 10k just to leave their gutter-like station in Ikotun as I needed to meet a client urgently.

There are so much to write about that ill-fated day, but I will need to find time to create a thread to that effect and beg the mod to move it to frontpage.

The name of the officer that I compliment who later accused me of being a Yahoo boy is TUNDE JOHN in Ikotun police station, opposite First Bank.

I will forever hate the Nigerian police.
I think it's only right they search you. Don't you know that BOE act 1995 dictates that you shall not "put mouth" in the affairs of the Nigerian Policeman. It states that he is liable to find you suspicious grin
All I can tell you is..Leave It For God.

This is absolutely wrong. No law gives the Nigerian police such powers to search innocent citizens without a warrant from a competent law court

NPF can be funny and annoying at the same time, i once read about a guy that was arrested and handcuffed for having a dating site APP on his phone, the victim said the policemen even threatened him to admit that he is a yahoo guy and scammer. So am not supprised about this OP's story at all.

I usually don't comment on any post but on this I will. I stay at Opic estate just around berger on the Lagos ibadan expressway and I would say the head quarter of such policemen is around here, they drive in private cars such as the old golf and they are always on the move and wherever they spot any car especially with a youth they chase such cars and ask u to park and they start searching the passengers and there phones too for anything suspicious, I have been stopped several times I always leave them to do there job and whenever they ask to search my phone I bring out my Federal civil service ID card and they ask me not to be angry and allow me go, like seriously I wish someone looks into this because I see them embarrass innocent citizens especially those travelling out of Lagos state and this must be stopped.

I trust they will only search those walking with legs and those riding on okada. They dare not go near those in their G-wagon or Ferrari
This doesn't apply here in Benin, you like carry aeroplane them go force you come down, everybody who dresses nice and owns a car is regarded as a yahoo boy. Anyone in Benin who lives around ugbowo will know that Uniben Main gate is their spot. Besides a friend of mine in Lagos was recently forced to unlock his phone for them to search, dude was driving a car!
Bottom line is that our Police just stupid, simpu.
