“We need a scapegoat”: Adejobi asks Nigerians to expose phone-searching police officers

NAIJA NEWS

The Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has urged Nigerians to expose its operatives engaging in illegal stop and search of citizens’ phones.

Naija News recalls that the Force had banned its operatives from illegal phone searches.

Despite the ban and strict warning from the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, many police officers continued to routinely check the citizens’ mobile phones.

An X user, Silva Nimi, in a post shared online on Tuesday, questioned Adejobi on why police officers keep checking the citizens’ phones.

The post read, “Bro, why are your men after young boys in the street. What did we do wrong ?What did they keep in our phones “ that they want to check and search for all the time?”

In response, Adejobi described the action as unprofessional, insisting that it is illegal for operatives on routine patrol to inspect citizens’ phones.
