Nigerians have been urged to take action by reporting police officers who forcefully collect or search their phones.
This advice was given by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Tuesday.
Adejobi made this known on his X page (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday.
He wrote, “Report any policeman who forcefully collects and searches your phones or electronic equipment. It’s not proper, not professional.
“They can only scrutinise your phone when such is subject to an investigation and already marked exhibit, and such is not done on the road.
“So, any policeman who searches the phone on the road is deviant and violates the order of the IGP and negates our SOP. He should be sanctioned.”
