Video: Policeman destroys student's phone for being too expensive

Police indiscriminate brutality against  Nigerians, whom they are supposed to be guarding is becoming increasingly worrisome.

A week ago, a man, identified as Kolade Johnson was shot dead, by men of SARS in Lagos state, with police claiming that they suspected him to be a criminal, because he is carrying dreadlocks.

Yet an unidentified policeman, was spotted in a viral video, harassing and threatening a Delsu student, after destroying his iPhone.

According to an eye witness, the incident occurred at Okpe, Delta state, after a bus conveying passengers were stopped for a normal stop and search.

The normal routine was taken too further, as the policeman started searching passenger's phone, which he found one of them using an iPhone.

The policeman who claimed the student was into something illegal, because he owns an iPhone, told the passengers that this is his 14 years in service, and he can't still afford an iPhone, which cost as much as N200,000.

As other passengers stopped the policeman from taking the boy away, he angrily smashed his phone on the ground.

Policeman destroys DELSU student’s phone for being too “expensive” . . There was confusion, yesterday, in Okpe, Delta State, as an aggrieved policeman destroyed the phone of a Delta State University student, for being too expensive for his level. . . The bus conveying the students had been stopped for a normal stop and search operation, but he extended the search to the phones of the passengers, only to see one of them using an iPhone. . . The visibly angry officer then asked him for the cost of the phone, to which the student replied by saying it costs N200k, prompting the officer to retort that despite being in service for close to 14 years, he can’t still afford such, meaning that the boy is into something illegal. . . The matter dragged for a very long time and the students were prevented from proceeding on the trip with the other passengers. The highlight of the confrontation was, however, when the officer angrily slapped the boy and smashed his phone on the ground. 📹: @ceo_zinorapheal
