The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has countered an x user who criticized police officers for stopping and searching a man who recently returned to Nigeria from Canada
The returnee had recorded police officers who stopped to search him. He felt violated and in the video he shared online, he expressed his anger and even cussed out the officers for searching him, adding that they will be hearing from his lawyers.
Reacting to the viral video, an X-user stated that in Canada, the police does not randomly stop people to search them.
Responding, Adejobi stated that Nigeria and Canada do not operate the same law and that in Nigeria, officers are allowed by law to carry out stop and search.
