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.

Watch the video below;


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

[video] China releases a cartoon to mock US over it's accusations

China releases a bizarre Lego-like cartoon, mocking US COVID-19 response after the communist country has been criticized by the US president Donald Trump, for allegedly poor handling of the health crisis.  While China has reported no fatalities from the virus in the country over the past week, the white House has accused China of concealing vital data about the pandemic during it's initial stage, and therefore ordered an investigation into reports that COVID-19 had been caused by an accident at Wuhan institute of virology.  In a short video clip posted by China's official news agency Xinhua, the Chinese slammed the accusation against them, claiming that the US was inconsistent at various stages of the pandemic. Once Upon a Virus, #China responds to the #USA with a cartoon. Thank you @XHNews pic.twitter.com/KcMkvzHilW — tim anderson (@timand2037) April 30, 2020

Reasons why female youth corp members leave Abuja after their service year

To so many yet to serve Youth corp members who have not visited Abuja before, FCT is to them, the city which will help to shape their life, if they are by chance, posted to Abuja, for a compulsory 1 year National youth service.  Abuja, which was projected to contain maximum of 4 million people, was divided into four phases, and 16 cadastral zones, in the original city master plan, which was designed by the city builders in 1979.  Unlike the city of Lagos which was the Nigerian capital before December 12,1991, when the capital was moved to Aso Rock, by the then military general, Ibrahim Badamosun Babangida, Abuja is a planned city. And it is not hard to see. Although, Abuja is the kind of place where you can by chance meet any of the who is who of the country, and of course the chances of meeting any of the 109 Senators, or the 360 House of Representatives members, or important members of the diplomatic community are always high, if you live in the city's center, or y...
