Man Lands In Police Detention For Unlocking A Phone Without Demanding For Its Receipt

Cases of reported stolen items are arguably one of the most carelessly handled issues in Nigeria. From unlawful arrests and detainment to unwarranted seizures of properties, the due process never seems to be properly applied.



A young man identified as Ayodeji has taken to the social media platform to express his grievances over what he believed was an unlawful arrest. Ayodeji, who works as a phone technician revealed how he was arrested over one of his recent jobs. According to him, he had initially unlocked a phone for a customer without demanding for its receipt of purchase and that eventually led to his arrest.

He wrote on Twitter:

"I was arrest today at My workshop because I help a customer to unlock his phone...@segalink ...d customer brought the phone to my shop last year ending to unlock, I charge him 10k to fix the phone and he payed... @segalink today police came back with guy with handcuff that the phone was stolen and I was detain in the cell for 8hours before Dey grant my bail"

"my offense was why did I unlock the phone without the customer providing d receipt of the phone..my question is this, must I ask every customer to bring there receipt before I can fix their phone...please sir I need your help on this matter...you are the only I can run to. They collected 10k from me before Dey could release me today @PoliceNG"

Receive Sense!

Nobody above mistake but at least you've learn your lesson. Always make sure what they brought to you is not stolen one.

Police always looking for means to extort

Is there a law against repairing or unlocking phones and other electronics without showing receipt?!
The police can only invite the repairer to the station to help with investigations, not an outright arrest.
I wonder what they teach these police officers at the Police Academy.

bad grammar

Haganah:
Receive Sense!

At least u hv learnt nw on the proper tin to do

Funny how the only thing the police is good at is flexing their muscles at poor boys trying to make something of their lives while they guard the real criminals.

Is there any law that says you must see the receipt of phones before unlocking them? You sound very naive!

Pele

Receipt wey easy to forge...

Can this really help. Mscheww

Well, that's part of what you should have done at first. Especially to new customers.


That been said, even if he produced receipt, NPF go still arrest you for not having a photocopy of the receipt.

mtcheeeewwww

I don't think he was arrested but simply brought in for questioning. Or did they handcuff him

That's how a Hausa boy brought a phone for me to buy and he can't open it.

I knew he stole it I just tell him I still have a phone am not interested.
Please be using your head I use to fear humans this days.
