Don’t give your phones to police officers at checkpoints to search — Police boss warns Nigerians

Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP 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 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.
