The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, recently banned the rank and file of the Nigerian Police Force from illegally accessing the phones of Nigerians.
The ban was contained in a circular to Police Commands across the country.
The instruction from the Inspector General of Police became necessary due to some unscrupulous police men who would flout privacy rights of law abiding citizens by stopping and searching their phones without recourse to legal processes.
