Police IG Bans Officers From Checking Mobile Phones

The Inspector General of Police,
Solomon Arase has banned
policemen from illegally checking the
phones of Nigerians under any guise.
The ban was contained in a circular
to Police Commands across the
country.
Though no reason has been given yet
on why the police boss came up with
the ban, some, however, are of the
opinion that the order became
necessary due to some elements in
the force that could possibly dent the
image of the police by illegally
accessing mobile phones of
Nigerians.
