Nigerian Police Detain Officers That Harassed A Motorist For Wearing Smart Glasses – SIXT-MEDIA LANE
Some smart eye glasses have cameras that allow the wearer to discreetly record videos. Some policemen that abuse their powers have been exposed by smart glasses wearers who recorded videos of them committing illegal acts.
In the video the policeman tried to snatch the motorist’s glasses when he realised that he was being recorded.
Consequent upon that, Following a thorough preliminary investigation, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has ordered the immediate detention of the entire team.

A new Tactical Squad has been constituted, comprising officers who will adhere strictly to international best practices in policing. This new unit will operate with zero tolerance for corruption, while upholding the highest standards of respect for human rights and human dignity.
