The Commissioner of Police for Lagos State, CP Fayoade Adegoke, emphasized that Nigerian officers are not authorized to conduct phone searches. Instead, if there are suspicions, individuals will be taken to the cyber section of the police station, as he mentioned during his visit to Melody FM, 107.7FM, in Lagos.
“If you feel a policeman engaged in corruption or cheated you, kindly report the policeman to his DPO or Area Commander. But if you still feel cheated, please report to me directly. My phone number is open to all Lagosians.
“No police officer has the right to beat citizens. The people are the government’s employers; your taxes support us. Thus, we have to treat you with the appropriate decency.
“Also, no policeman has the right to search your phone. If a policeman suspects anything on your phone, he will take you to the station. We have a cyber department that is responsible for all that,” he added.
