Search Any Officer First Before They Search You - Nigerian Police

The Nigerian police has declared via its Twitter handle that before any civilian in the country can be searched by a Police officer, that officer must first be searched.

In a new tweet via their handle, the police force wrote,

“If an officer wants to search you in your house/ car, he must first surrender himself for searching. This is the procedure. Ask politely. #AskThePolice”

This statement was triggered after someone asked the account – ‘what the flow of process is when a police officer stops a citizen… whether it can include the officer introducing him/herself as 1st action point… with ‘Introduction’ meaning name, rank and station attached to.
