Earlier
today, a video had gone viral across social media.
In
the video the Police officer could be seen challenging the student traveling in
a bus with his colleagues and asking him why he was using a phone as costly as
N200,000, while he has been in service for 14 years and could not afford a
phone that is worth more than N15,000
He
eventually smashed the phone on the ground while the other students in the bus
prevented him from arresting the student.
