In another report, police PRO Dolapo Badmus made it clear that no officer of the law has the right to randomly stop citizens and demand to rummage through their mobile devices.

She said that officers demanding to search people’s mobile devices can be likened to walking up to a random man and asking him to pull off his boxers for the sake of a search operation.
