Popular comedian, AsiriComedy, has slammed the Nigeria Police Force after members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad allegedly made him miss an appointment. The comedian, who has produced many comedy videos alongside another comedian Woli Arole on social media, said in an Instagram post that they were accosted by the officers at the Excellence Hotel area of Ogba, Lagos State, around 11:10 am.
He said the policemen searched through everybody’s mobile phone and delayed the group without any cogent reason. He wrote, “I am putting this out to curtail the excesses of some irresponsible elements in our esteemed police force. Despite the immense effort of reputable men like @aleeygiwa, These Lagos SARS officers with squad number 039 accosted us at Excellence hotel area Ogba at around 11:10 am.
“They came from nowhere brandishing their weapons and pointing irresponsibly at our car. We were delayed unnecessarily and every of our phones were thoroughly searched and our privacy breached. I want to know, since when carrying out your daily legal activities become a crime.
“And that part of the law that permits indiscriminate searching of phones. As a loyal citizen of this great nation, I demand answers. Is it a crime to be a responsible and law abiding young guy? Please repost till we get answers. And the appointment they made us miss by this delay. They will pay for it.”
