Had a similar experience like Raiyo's. There was a day I had an appointment with my Optician in Aguda; immediately after the session, I left and went straight to the bus stop. As I was waiting for a cab, a team of policemen in a commercial bus stopped and asked me to explain what I was doing at the bus stop by past 11am in the morning, I told them I was just coming from a doctor's appointment. They insisted on searching the content of the cellophane bag with me (which contained some drugs and my glasses) and I obliged. They also said they had to check the content of my phone (despite showing them my ID) but I refused; by then people have starting gathering, including my Doctor, which was what actually gave me the courage to resist them carrying out the obnoxious act. If not, I sure say I for reach station or at least they'd drag me into their bus just for standing at the bus stop. Tactless bunch of nitwits. 1 Like |

blackchukky: Who knows what kind of training the police gets before they get a gun to handle Nothing different from the training giving to nysc members in orientation camp, do morning and afternoon drills, that all,since most of them are ex criminals, area boys, cultist and millitants, they dont need to be taught how to use a gun, we have so many of them in edo state, most of them , even work with their different cult group, have seen several case, where police cult members, are hired by their fellow cult group, to kill, arrest and burst rival cult group, its a normal thing in benin and ekpoma, also they are very good in stopping and searching every young boy, and they want to screw your phone, if they see international number, omon, u don enter gobe, one useless police officer, have dialed a uk line on my fone and store it claiming the number belongs to me, abegi nothing new. God abeg help me tell those your children when they that embassy make them give me visa, make i go my fatherland, i don tire for this my step fatherland Nigeria 2 Likes |

He's a Nigerian why is OP calling him a foreigner |
Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by 3ace(m): 7:26am On Jun 11, 2013 |
The story later confirmed that the driver was a Nigerian so why "foreigner" in the headline again? These journalists sef-always deceiving people to buy papers. sailorXY: “The policemen were talking to him, but Some people are just too arrogant. We all crave for feeling of importance and the only way you can do this to avoid their nasty behaviour is to cooperate with them. Answer their questions and if need be like someone has said, give them money and you can go in peace. Most of them are a bunch of frustrated people who never wanted the job but ventured because they had no choice. You will therefore further aggravate their frustration in them by makin them feel like a piece of rag. Thank God the IGP is working tirelessly to curb extortion in the police and I will leave him to do it. I won't help to stop it by sacrificing my life. So, to those who enjoy speaking grammar with them, abeg na Naija be dis o. Rest in Peace, korie. 1 Like |

SailorXY:despite the fact that nigeria police are largely incompetent,if this eye witness account is true then the victim would have been shot by any police officer in the usa. people must understand that the men is uniform are marked men and they dont know who is who.when they stopped him why didnt he roll down the glass and put off the engine?in the us if a police officer stops u ,u must put off the engine and place ur hands on the steering.we are in a period where police are killed in drive by shootings and most especially the nation is battling against a terrorist group which has been reported that it has expanded to the west.what was the guy doing with foreign passports?well that is not our issue.the victim asked for it. anytime u are stopped by a police officer ,park well ,switch off ur car engine and talk to them politely,the victim did none ,they were talking to him he was smilling,he didnt roll down and neither did he switch off his car. 2 Likes |

Wendyslim: . You no hear the name? Na foreigner wey don Tay for 9ja so na automatic citizen him be. How I wish na so dem dey do 9ja for foreign country too. Did you finish reading the story at all? I think the name "Santos Korie" came about because they found some foreign passports in his vehicle probably bearing that name. According to the story, it was later gathered that his real name was "Onyekachi Korie". Seems to me like he had double Identity. If he was still alive, he would have to do some explaining. |

Damn! Shut up man. Ignorance is really a disease. Give us reference were a police in new york have ever shot its citizen because he/she didnt roll down the car glasses. Even when they chase criminals in their car, they dont shoot them, they chase them, catch them, arrest them and take them to court except in cases were the criminals first open fire on them not to talk of an innocent citizen in his car. Damn! Is there any other new york we dont know? Oh! I guess your talking of south africa were the police kill innocent citizens at will. Guy, your just a baboon who should be in the jungle.

Very good job arresting the killer cops, but again why drive against traffic? Death sentence for indiscipline is the fastest way to a saner Nigeria..In Rivers State, driving against traffic is legal as long as you have the police with you or you are driving a vehicle with green plates.. 1 Like |
