Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP, Fayoade Adegoke, has stated that no officer is permitted to search the phones of any Nigerian.<\/p>\n

Adegoke explained that if an officer suspected anything, they would take the suspect to the cyber section of the police station.<\/p>\n

The CP said this during his visit to Melody FM, 107.7FM, in Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo police officer has the right to beat citizens. The people are the government\u2019s employers; your taxes support us. Thus, we have to treat you with the appropriate decency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
