Police spokesperson reacts to claims its officers arrested a woman for allegedly being in possession of condoms in Asaba

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, has reacted to claims that some officers of the Nigeria police force have begun to arrest persons in possession of condoms. Hundeyin was reacting to a video on X in which a lady claimed some men of the police force in Asaba, Delta state arrested a woman after condoms were found on her.  In the viral video, the lady saidFirst it was your iphone, then your laptop but in 2026, it is condoms you can be arrested for. A woman was arrested in a restaurant in Asaba for having a condom in her bag. She was beaten by the police officer and held for three days with no food or water. This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern of extortion that has returned with a vengeance.When a condom is a probable cause for arrest, no one is safe. We cannot afford to look away because it might be your me next” Hundeyin while reacting to the video, said the report seems distorted. He called for the victim to come forward so the circumstances surrounding the case can be looked into. He went further to state that a person in possession of an item doesn’t mean he or she was arrested because of the item.This appears to be a distorted third party narration. Can the victim confirm to us the circumstances surrounding the incident? A person was in possession of an item does not automatically mean he was arrested because of the item. Lets hear from the woman herself. We will take it up diligently if this is true.”he wroteSome Nigerians say they believe the story as they recount how they were arrested for simply having a lighter in their car or pockets.The post Police spokesperson reacts to claims its officers arrested a woman for allegedly being in possession of condoms in Asaba appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
