The general public should be aware that there are newer schemes deployed at incriminating innocent citizens now. The first is targeting those who buy second hand mobile devices while the second is random credit of accounts. Let’s say you bought an alleged “LONDON used” phone...
Then weeks after you were on your way home when some officers demand that you follow them. On getting to the station they show you a case file that the phone you have with you was one of the stolen items in an armed robbery that cost another citizen their car & other belongings..
The Police by default owing to their activation and inducement with the cash of the complainant will end their investigation with you with the claim that you alone can help them resolve the case by providing the seller of the phone. Now for those who buy phones in traffic...
...you may end up being sentenced for armed robbery without the option of fine or be given an option you may never be able to afford in this economy. For those who are lucky enough to provide a proof of purpose and the seller, you will still pay heavily for being impari delincto.
*Meaning partners in illegality. In most of the cases we have intervened in, running into 100 hundred now if not more, Police will insist on charging the case to court once they realize they can not make money from it. With the corruption of the judiciary on armed robbery cases..
...you may end up spending more days in detention than necessary. As published many young Nigerians have been tortured to death by police during these alleged stolen phones investigations. Mostly between the ages of 20-23. Women not excluded. So be careful out there.
If the issue is with cheaper smartphones with good camera that works with modern day apps. We will soon have an alternative out there that won’t involve you having a police case or losing your freedom. I will announce this soon and we all can curb the patronage of phone thieves.
Secondly, there’s been a growing rise in random credits of accounts. Investigation is ongoing on the source of this format. A lady went to the bank to withdraw N10k of her N12,500 balance. Only to hear that her account was blocked. Upon enquiry, she was told authorities did this
...that her account was used to make fraudulent transactions. The lady in question never got an alert neither used her account for any such. She was picked up by police & detained without considering getting her a representation. The bike man that brought her waited in vain.
In the past days a few followers have been showing me alerts that they received deposited N1k only to get a N400k Credit Alert. If you have gotten a similar experience please report this immediately immediately to you account manager & get a document that proves this.
You can also file a report in a police station near you about the incident for your sanity sake. When the order to block your account comes they won’t follow due process and these precautions will come in handy before you are summarily deemed a fraud and jailed arbitrarily.
Be safe out there and remember to report any incident of police impunity, incrimination, harassment, abduction, extortion and indiscriminate illegal phone searches to @PoliceNG_PCRRU @citizen_gavel and possibly this handle via DM or call the numbers on the flier. #ReformPoliceNG 
Just in case you can’t relate just yet with the random bank credit yet. Here is a true story 👉🏽

Those in the TOKUNBO cars market should invest in this App #CarFAX @CarfaxReports with the VIN number of the car you can get all the history of the car and know if stolen from the States & when shipped. Also ensure you get police involved in any such purchase to avoid issues.
Miracle Alerts will inadvertently land you in jail even after you have been squeezed of money you don’t have. This is not a warning but a guarantee. Stop making this a prayer point. God doesn’t operate in your paper money. He has already empowered you. Find yourself.
If your account has been frozen based on order from above on the allegation of fraudulent transactions you know nothing about, contact @citizen_gavel so we can treat the matter collectively instead of running expenses on individual incidents. We also need to learn the pattern.
We want to know the spread and prevalence of this format and nail the source. Innocent citizens shouldn’t be incriminated over the vices of internal fifth columnists in the banking sector or a few bad eggs in society. Your response and report will save lives. #EndBankingFraud
Don’t be fooled. There are no Mircale Alerts anywhere. It is fraud. Report it before you take a huge fall for the crimes of another. #EndBankingFraud @citizen_gavel @adeyanjudeji @cchukudebelu
6years ago I gave this same warning on the phone matter. It is funny nothing has changed much. 😞
A blog copied these tweets and titled it “Police is your Enemy” crediting such to me. Please if that is all you make of this thread then it is unfortunate. Help Police heal by steering clear of ambiguous issues that will be interpreted as a Crime best summarize the thread.
