According to The Nation, Thompson was detained for three hours, released on bail at about 9pm with his two phones confiscated after he was forced to delete all the pictures he took. Narrating his ordeal, Thompson said:
"I was in a commercial bus when we got to the area and one of the policemen on the road was demanding that our driver bribe him. I brought out my phone and captured him and they saw me. They dragged me out of the bus and seized the phone I used to take the pictures. They said I was under arrest but I begged that they should delete the pictures and release me but they refused. The next thing, they called the station and a patrol van appeared and they demanded that I enter because the DPO wants to see me.
When we got there, they didn’t take me to meet the DPO neither did they release me. I was there from 6pm to 9pm. Afterwards, they asked me to go home and report back by 9am the following day ( Wednesday ). But before I was released, I had to call one of my brothers with my second phone to come and bail me. Meanwhile, before I left that night, they also seized the second phone from me and I went home without any of my phones. I got there Wednesday by 9am and waited till 2:40pm before my second phone was released. This was after the human rights officer intervened in my case and asked them to let me go. Even at that, the policeman handling my case went to Ikeja to submit my report and so I had to wait till he got back for my phones to be released.”he said

You need to see the way the police pounced on me, he said if not that am a girl he would have slapped me, that infact he would Ave used juju to beat me. In fact he said a lot.They also promised to get a van to convey me to their station. No be small thing oo.infact they seized my tab. God save their ass they didn't even carry out their threat, cos an sure they will lose their job

Thank goodness for your life. You were on the right path towards changing an otherwise decayed system that needs the vigilance of most, if not, all Naijas.
From the above comments of LIB readers I can only say we are very much in trouble in this country. The comments have either supported corruption or depicted cowardice and fear to stand up to our rights by exposing erring and corrupt officers in this country or people in authority. We need to keep complaining for the progress of our society of course with safety to our lives. As for me I do not mind being incarcerated if my rights are trampled upon. Nelson Mandela amongst many others did the same. Just get a lawyer or a human rights activists or send to the popular bloggers and see if the society will not cry out to demand justice against these evil ones. LET US NOT GIVE UP BUT BE SUPPORTERS OF THE DESIRED CHANGE!!!
NIGERIA MUST GET TO ITS DESTINY OF COMMITTEE OF GREAT NATIONS WHICH GOD HAS PURPOSED IT TO BE.
DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT AGAINST CORRUPTION. GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

Bastard police! No difference between them and robbers! What that young man did is no offense, they know what they are doing is a crime and they lock up an innocent man for that. They are scum!
I know you've been sick. What's amebo here? If they hadn't caught him those idiotic policemen will be answering one or two questions by now. Be like say your papa be policeman. Oponu ayirada. Na the driver fit you. Oluku
My brother na niaja u dey oo. Jst leave wetin dem write for motor enter motor o no dey go put eye for wetin wey no concern u o
Hmmmmm! Y make it obvious u were snapping! Pele! Even journalist hide wen taking pictures! The police is really our friend
It's people like you that are in the police force that's why you saying he shouldn't snap next time.
Am sure you are one of the criminals in the police force!
Hungry policemen
I personally don't approve taking unauthorized pictures of people especially in under their noses. How could you?
