The Lagos State Police PRO, Dolapo Badmus has reiterated the fact that no police officer has the constitutional right to search any citizen’s phones.
She made this statement in a YouTube video interview.
In her own words, “Your phone is private, it’s your private property because people do a lot of private stuffs on their mobile phones so it’s wrong. Police officers have no right to do that except there is a reasonable ground to do so“.
She further went on to state some possible reasons police officers may go through mobile phones during a ‘stop and search’ operation. She said; “In an instance when a crime has just been committed and someone gives the police info which may lead to an investigation of said crime. Anything other than that, no policeman has the right to call you and request to go through your phone.“

The Senate has called for more sanctions against mobile network providers for declining quality of services in recent months.

It has thus directed the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to take action particularly on the recent increase in the rate of call drops in the country.
Senate President Senator David Mark in his remark urged NCC to step up its supervisory role on the service providers. “NCC must buckle up, it appears that they have relaxed in their supervisory role and as such, the service providers have also relaxed,” Mark said.

He added, “The rate of call drop is getting higher. It appears we do not have an option but for the NCC to sanction these service providers.”

The Senate gave the directive after it approved the sum of N60.2 billion for NCC to enhance its operations and the sum of N16.15 billion for the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF).

NCC has in the past imposed fines and suspended the country’s operators from running promotions but with mixed success.
