Is there a law against repairing or unlocking phones and other electronics without showing receipt?!
The police can only invite the repairer to the station to help with investigations, not an outright arrest.
I wonder what they teach these police officers at the Police Academy.

fpeter:
bad grammar

Realfitbody:


I don't think he was arrested but simply brought in for questioning. Or did they handcuff him

Vado:

Sim unlock or icloud? Shoot me a pm.

omonlaa:

What phone?

perryy:


That is not fixing, that removing the security aspect of the phone. If I walked into a mech ship and ask that the security feature of the car I brought be disabled, they have the right to ask me to show proof I own the car whose security feature I wanna disable and they equally have the right to reject it. If you are a panel beater and you helped someone to break into a car and it is later discovered that the person you helped to break into the car is not the car's owner but a thief, don't the police have right to arrest you ? You are a fucking accomplice.

perryy:


If u don't know where the receipt is, you must know the password. Forgetting both means it is a stolen phone and I won't tourch it even with a pole.

Dangerous times requires that measures be put in place to forestall the proliferation of criminality in our society.

I won't defend the police or its sister agencies, but laws mustn't be only the Acts or Laws enacted by the NASS and , or State Assemblies respectively. There is room for Subordinate Legislation and within that powers, the ministry of police affairs or other offices acting within that range can make rules which becomes binding on the society in the interest of societal peace and security.

Remember, the NPF is charged with the powers of protecting lives and property in Nigeria. You are also aware that phones and gadgets theft has become common following the high level of poverty in the country. The police are strategically in positioned to have the data on the number of complaints bordering on robberies, burglary, snatches and worse incidents of violence where people's phones and other gadgets have been made away with.

You will agree with me that desperate times requires desperate measures. So, before the National Assembly makes laws to that effect, the police reserves the powers to make rules that will make it difficult for thieves of the category in question to dispose the proceed of their crime easily.

THE MAJOR ISSUE HOWEVER IS THAT SUCH RULES MADE UNDER THE POWERS OF SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION ARE NOT MADE PUBLIC AS IS THE CASE WITH OTHER LAWS THAT ARE GAZETTED.

I don't want to hear the saying that ignorant of the law is not an excuse

rayobaba:
l despise police

stano2:
Police always looking for means to extort

thesicilian:

You deflated all the steam I was gathering against you as I read your comment along, with this last part.
I don't contest their powers making rules that may serve public interest whether in the long or short term, the issue is, those laws, if any, cannot be made surreptitiously. And in a country where rule of law is given it's due priority, those police officers would be in a deep PR mess by now.

duduwest:
Nobody above mistake but at least you've learn your lesson. Always make sure what they brought to you is not stolen one.

Greatzeus:

The truth is why would I want to unlock a phone that is mine? Wont I just enter the pin or password?
Most phones that are being unlocked by phone engineers at computer village and other places are stolen or bought from a phone thief.
It would be good if there is a law prohibiting unlocking of phones without receipt.
