The Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim during in an interactive session with Nigerians on Twitter yesterday answered some questions most Nigerians have been seeking answers to. In the tweet chat which trended with the hashtah #AskThePolice, the IG said beforeĀ an officer searches anyone or their house or car, the officer must first surrender himself for searching. The only thing the peros
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

Many people couldnāt help butĀ express their sarcasm as they wondered realistic it would be to askĀ a police officer especially the State Anti-Robbery Squad(SARS) ones to surrender themselves for searching.

I am a lawyer and I know all these things but truth be told, they are all theoritical. Police men who wouldn't even avail you with their ID card, are they the one's that will give themselves up for searching. They go as far to plant things in people's property to squeeze them.

What do you mean "surrender himself for searching"? Is he to be searched by a fellow officer or the person he's supposed to search? Kindly explain.

Please and please, Do not try this o unless you have a death wish. How do you tell FSARS to surrender himself for searching, people that have zero joy.
