So yeah this happened around Oluyole Ibadan and for those asking why I allowed them check my phone I actually called another police to talk to the one that arrested me then after the call he tapped the screen immediately so the phone won’t lock and decided to go through my phone

You did not tell us the first reason for the arrest.  According to your story, twitter is the second reason.

Arresting you for using Twitter! I think that’s very wrong and cruel. It is a violation of human rights, and we live in a world where democracy flourishes, where the individual has the right to express his or her opinion, wherever he or she is doing it. So if I’m using a piratebay mirror in my region, then I should be arrested, too? I think it’s wrong, and it needs to change.
