Taking to social media, #Boy_Cyril shared, “Sir, is it a crime to video during stop and search because I had to pay N10,000 for those officers to give me back my phone after taking it forcefully from me just now.”
In response to this incident, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force spokesperson, emphasized that filming or photographing police officers in the course of their duty is not considered an offense. He stated, “You can video or take pictures of policemen on duty. We have said it severally. There is nothing wrong with that. You can take up the case.”
Adejobi provided avenues for reporting such incidents, saying, “Send an SMS to me or our email box, Pressforabuja@police.gov.ng. You can also talk to your PPRO.” He asserted that every policeman is aware that being recorded or photographed while on duty is allowed and permitted.
Highlighting the unprofessionalism of those who harass individuals for exercising this right, Adejobi stated, “Those who attack or harass people for such are just deviants and recalcitrant and unprofessional. Or have you seen any of them telling you he’s not aware? They all know. It’s like a case of a criminal who knows committing crimes is criminal and punishable, yet he does it until he’s caught.
