Policeman Destroys DELSU Student’s Phone [You Won’t Believe Why] There was confusion, yesterday, in Okpe, Delta State, as an aggrieved policeman destroyed the phone of a Delta State University student, for being too expensive for his level. The bus conveying the students had been stopped for a normal stop and search operation, but he extended the search to the phones of the passengers, only to see one of them using an iPhone.

The matter dragged for a very long time and the students were prevented from pr...
