Deputy Commissioner of Police, D Bassey Ewah, on Wednesday warned Nigerians not to give any policeman who stopped them at the checkpoint their phones without a warrant.

He noted that if the police were on an investigation, they would present a warrant and then demand for the phone.

Ewah disclosed this while answering questions during a programme organised by the Police Community Relation Committee in Lagos State.

“I am stand to be corrected; please do not give any policeman who stopped you on the checkpoint your phones; it’s not our schedule. If we are investigating you, we will present a warrant and then demand for your phone. Please take note," he said.

The police boss also spoke on the Federal Government’s signal that stops any tinted vehicle that arrives in the country to be touched by police.

Ewah said, “Tell your associates and friends on the street, if you present your papers and they (the policemen) say they are not okay; just tell them, police take me to your Divisional Police Officer. There is no point arguing with them because the man is deaf.”

In 2019, the Nigerian police had issued some tips to Nigerians on how to avoid clashes with officers at a police checkpoint.

The tips came after the reported killing and brutality of citizens by police officers.
The police gave the tips via their verified Twitter handle, @PoliceNG, in May, urging Nigerians to avoid an unnecessary argument or challenging armed personnel on duty.
They advised Nigerians to avoid giving an unhappy impression when encountering an officer on their beat.

The ones at the Checkpoint don't have the liberty to listen or even follow the law.

So, unfortunately, for us to live longer and not become victims of another Lai Mohammed's "never happened death", we better cooperate.

How many times will they make this announcement...the police dem dey hear?
Vseless agency, vseless country

Oga police warn your stupid men not Nigerians and any policemen accused of searching people phone without warrant will be dismissed from forces.

This useless police officer killed a navy officer yesterday at ojota thought a Yahoo boy.

Evil clowns

Warn your men to stop it

Expose those who do that and prosecute them

Stop setting Nigerians up for slaughter

Unfortunate Nigerian: (tearfully) Lord, I was fighting for my right.

God: Where is that?

Unfortunate Nigerian: In Nigeria (tells your story)

He’s right but do this (resist police men searching your phone ) in 9ja at your own risk. E gt why.. except e get Wetin u dy hide

Hmm

Make dem no shoot us o
If we refuse to give them

All these na theory, if you go try am practically. Well, a word is enough for the wise.

Like say e easy!

Oga dey office dey talk, na we wey dey street dey face am.

Police brutality is still at its peak.

Random stop, bring out your phones, them still stop me some days ago, but as a sharp guy wey I be, I no dey move with my X.

Never trust the words of the cops, they dirty as fvck.

I said what I said

Lol...if you no give out ur phone now,Na beatings get you.

Oga you will follow us around to enforce it o.

Story. Naija police wey de always dey trigger happy. Them go shoot u for East and label u ipob or unknown gunmen, you will just die a wasteful death.

If dem need my phone make dem collect. Na who de Alive, de follow police talk. Life in the zoogeria is worth lower than that of Buharis unproductive 150 cows...


Enough is a wise for the word

Public relations gimmicks as usual.

No be you go tell dem wetin to do

In Biafra, the police will do just two things and two things alone: PROTECT and SERVE.

How can anyone be proud to be called a Nigerian? Your name was given to you by a british wh0re. Think about it for more than 5 minutes and maybe you will understand why Biafrans are demanding for freedom.

Hmm ok
As you are telling us are you also telling the police man not to ask for my phone?

Ok

lol just say you want me to lose my life you don't argue with someone with a Gun..

Jokers

Tell ur officers not us.
They ones that were caught in the act, were they punished??

The rogues on the roads will never listen or agree.

Wrong!

Dismiss any police officer caught searching a phone..

Please I take your mama head beg you,don’t listen to this nonsense,give them your phone and allow them to check it even if you are a yahoo,the worse is to pay
DONT GET YOURSELF KILLED!
Not allowing them to check your phone will only give them license to kill you

So that they can threaten to shoot the person if he/she doesn't comply to their request.


Let all your personnel go through psychological evaluation then screen the ones that are mentally imbalance.
