I was running late for a meeting this morning at Oyigbo in Rivers State. Because of the bad nature of the road to Oyibo,i decided to join to a commercial bus.

I was already on call before the C4i checkpoint after toll gate. All of a sudden i was hearing some banging on the bus, and the policeman shouting "Driver Clear Well"

I didn't even i know i was the reason for the parking until some passengers told me to end the call. I asked why, they said we were being parked because i making call. See me see trouble ooo. I told them i cannot cut on the person calling me. Na so, i finish my call jejely.

After a while the policeman came and said i should come down, that i should handover my phone to him. First word that came out of my mouth was "It's my personal property and he has no right to cease my phone" Na so fear catch am.

He went to call their commander, and the man came and said i should identify myself. I told him I'm a Nigerian. He asked why i was i making calls? I told him i didn't know it was offence to make calls at police checkpoints.

He said i was proving stubborn. How nah? Before i could say a word, one of them gave me a slap (E hot shaa) from behind and dragged me to their small office. I swear i wanted to react but held myself, and told him i am leaving him because he's on uniform. He was wearing jacket which covered his name and his number. I was trying to get his name, and he noticed and buttoned the jacket.

The commander finally came and said i should give him my phone. I told him i have to lock the phone first because of the confidential stuffs i have. He agreed and allowed me to lock the phone. I pleaded to make a call or send a text, he said if i try it, that he will shoot me. Omo, na there i come calm down before my sad story will grace front page on Nairaland. Rivers state too hot, abegi!

Someone (who i suspect to be a military officer on mufti) i didn't even know stopped and demanded to know what was my offence. He told them he saw the way i was being dragged and that i look so gentle.

Las Las, he pleaded on my behalf and asked the commander to give me my phone back. The man gave me a lift to Oyigbo and said next time, i should just say "Sorry" and move on.

NOW, IS THERE ANY WRITTEN NIGERIAN LAW BANNING MAKING OF CALLS AT POLICE CHECKPOINTS?

Police doesn’t restrict calls at check point rather military

Of all the places you have to make calls, why must it be at a checkpoint?

I got to know about this just last week

What if he was using hands free to make the call? Would they have known?

happy to know you survived

For Ur own safety please don't make call at any Security check point. They will feel like you are giving out information about them.

OddsIsland:
They always want to show powers oooo

nor worry counting doing me in me in the presence of hungry underpaid Happy trigger men in turn uniforms and bent shoes..nor worry continue o it will help u

Even military checkpoints. You'll see people scrambling to put away their phones

Kaduna1stson:
.

Such a dumb reply?

Countless other devices like watches, remote controls and switches can also be used to detonate bomb. Why stopping people from using phones while allowing people to wear watches.

The real reason is to stop people from taking picture and video of exchange of money collected at checkpoints.

believe me, that's not the reason at all.

Phones are commonly used than the other devices you mentioned.

since you claim to be an expert, how many times are wristwatches being used as bomb detonator.

There's no law but don't do it.

Ever since the incident of unknown gunmen,they have been on their toes. It's a security leak cause you might be calling to confirm they're on the check point

As a local man that hardly travels I only got to know just few years ago in Abuja.

There's none, Nigeria is just a jungle.

Dont make calls at check point. Always ensure your hands are visible too. Remember wyclef song diallo diallo

For security reasons because u could be an informant

you are not a Nigerian, get out... Every Nigerian knows you can't make calls at checkpoint, you can't be seen pressing phone self.. This has been an unwritten law, since God knows when because of security reasons.. They are right, you are wrong, that slap was worth it

Chai i don't know this o.
I was stopped yesterday at check point, as the Officer was busy scrutinizing my vehicle particulars I too kept myself busy with phone calls.

There is no written law, but there is unwritten law that was created by unlawful guys in uniform



For the sake of nine months your take carry u, and the whole money spent on u by ur loved ones pls obey

Don't make call at any check point, especially wen the fellow has gun with him


God bless you
