Oops, you particularly caused every thing that happen to you. Why? You lacked the ability to express yourself properly before an officer. Thank your God they didn't battered your face before they released you. They have seen the fret in you, you are already choking and they took advantage of you. You aren't properly inform about the law and you don't even know your fundamental human right.

Fundamental human right in Nigeria?


I don't think you have ever been arrested by a uniformed armed robber (police)

Like an hour ago, I was at the back sit of SARS vehicle with handcuffs in my hands. They said am a Yahoo boy for having a kik application on my smartphone.


I was traveling from Omu Aran to ilorin, I pressed up, wearing my blue Jean, T shirt, my newly bought African shaped neck chain and All stars sneakers. So the journey began and we passed the first police check point and few minutes after continuing the journey, we got to SARS people (at a junction in about entering Oke Onigbin town) and we were told to come down (all boys), I first feel scared but also I have nothing to be scared off cause I have the receipt for all my gadget with me, so I keep calm and answer his question perfectly. He check my pocket and found my two phones (Lumia 535 and Infinix Note 2), he check my bags and found my belongings (books, wires and my laptops), he asked if I have the receipt and I answered yes. Then he said I should unlock my phone (Note 2), I did and he start checking then he saw a social media app (KIK) on my phone, he asked if am a "game boy" and I said yes, all my mind was he is asking about video games because I have up to 20 games on my phone. He check other guys then told me to follow him, I did and he said "it's good that I don't lie", he asked my school and my name and I told him. Then from no where he said am a "Yahoo boy", the soul in me seems to left my body that moment, I realise am in big soup and I start swearing on everything that comes to my mouth. I deny his allegations then he start frowning and threat to destroy my career in school and that I will go to jail if I didn't confess, so I decided to come down to his level and ask how much to settle him, he said 20k, I started begging but he's desperate and then he called his boss, an old man, to my surprise he also lay the same allegations and all I can do is start begging and swearing am not a Yahoo boy.

After begging and rejecting their allegations, I was told to sit behind their vehicle, I did and they close the door on me while one of them keep saying they should handcuff me, I keep rejecting their allegations and then the guy earlier attempted to slap me right in the vehicle I sat in, he then decided to handcuff me from then. They start claiming they will destroy my life, that I agreed to been a Yahoo boy and then I started denying it again. I decided to keep shut and wait till my dad comes since we are not too far from home and I have signal to my brother (we both traveling together) to call my dad which he did, I waited and didn't talk to them anymore. Every cars passing were all looking at me right behind the vehicle, I felt embarrassed.

My dad came and they attended to him, they tell him what they said I am (yahoo boy) and that I have admit it, he knowing fully well who I am, told them that I am not and he knows fully what I do online. He told them that I am an importer and also work online as a freelance graphic designer. They said the app is for Yahoo boys and not app to import goods. I can't help but burst into tears because am presently embarrassing my dad along with me.

The boss then show my dad an app on his phone but my dad doesn't know anything about this stuff, the boss told me to explain what happened in front of my dad, I did and he ask why I have those apps on my phone, I explain am an importer and also an online person but he left and asked the first guy to attend to us. So my dad asked what the solution is since he knows they all want money, I didn't hear what goes next but he later gave them 2k after demanding for 5k, they removed the handcuff, gave my phone back to me and we left.

I have never experienced anything like this in my entire 20 years on earth, I only hear it but it happened to me today. It makes it my first time in their car or police car and first time of been in handcuff (which breaks my heart).

This is purely violation of human right and I regret that I have no evidence to follow this up. But never can I forget their faces on this earth.

***The app (Kik) is a social media app which I used to chat with a friend in Los Angeles, not a very common app in Nigeria but one of the most used app in USA making it the only social app to connect with her.

If this is what Nigeria has become (became), then it's a sad story.

Don't know if this is the right section, mods plz help forward to Front Page.

my brother this is how they do o i stay in ilorin and i am a freelancer graphic designer also they once challenged me but one naira i no pay o

get a business card okay?

Had similar experience while in Kwara about a year ago. I had the power to get them sacked but had to let it go.

Oh sweet memories. I remember once when i was stopped by a policeman at a check point and after checking my papers, they demanded egunje. I refused. Since they saw that i was not going to comply they demanded to do a thorough check of my vehicle and person. I did not object, especially since i noticed they had been drinking and had riffles on them. After looking through my wallet, they saw a credit card and automatically labeled me a yahoo guy. They said i had to cough out 50k else i would spend the night in detention. I said no problem. I asked if it was possible to call someone to bring the money for me and they said yes. I promptly called the U.S consulate and they sent a representative down to the check point to see what was going on. Americans don't phuck around when it comes to their citizens. The funny thing was the policemen didn't understand who they were and tried to arrest them for having illegal plates. So funny. After grasping the situation, come see begging. God, i felt so good. From being called yahoo boy they started begging on their knees calling me "oga". Nigeria is so phucked.

You must have embarrassed your dad with the kind of English you were SPARKING that day. Honestly dude, you need work. Go learn how to speak and comprehend sentences properly. It helps.

What kind of useless question is [size=40pt] Are you a game boy?[/size] I don taya for Naija forces o.

why this country is so messed up like this, harassing innocent people you are paid to protect. God if na sin make u forgive us ohh, but come ohh wetin happen to all those fasting and prayers by Nigerian religion leaders?

Next time please don`t argue with someone who doesn`t have better thing to offer in life again .... they know this real Yahoo boys but trust me ... they will never do anything to them simply because they have settle thier boss boss up to inspector General Level so nothing again they can do to them and mind you Most YAHOO LORDS drive with Police spy and Police convoy

Hmmm


That's the new change we are experiencing o.

Human rights are no longer respected!!!

They have a mentor in Buhari.

What kind of people are u guys. As a matter of fact this menace have reduced under this administration.

In the past it was helll......not for me though, cos it can't happen to me.

I know how many SOS calls i receive from hustling guys compared to now.

Can u as a young guy dress sweet and walk around Ikeja, Ogba, Berger, Grammar sch, Magodo axis etc in the past without being harassed. Who born u?

Sorry about the ugly experience.

This reminds me of my encounter with some police officers late last year on my way to work (I was doing my industry training in a health care facility)

I was on bike, so one of the police officer stopped my bike.

Police Officer: Who are you? And What do you do?

Me: Am a medical student (I lied, I am studying anatomy , but it would take forever to explain what anatomy means to this guy)

Police Officer: What's in your bag?

(I had a laptop bag on me, but it contained my laboratory coat)

Me: Lab Coat.

Police Officer: Where is the receipt?

Me: (Smiling, but didn't want to appear rude). Receipt? For What sir?

Police Officer : To the laptop in your bag?!!! I won't let you leave if you can provide the receipt. (His countenance changed almost instantly)

Me: (Opened my bag and handed him the lab coat). They don't issue receipt for this, but I can always leave it here if it needs to be examined as a stolen item sir.

He was angry and left my bike... It's probably the best encounter I've had with the police.

Maybe next time you won't cheer the soldier to deal decisively with pro Biafr@ agitators!

Next time you won't waste your MB in Naira waging war against an entire tribe over the offense of few people.

Next time you won't generalize igbos as yahoo people, the same way SARS Apprehended you and label you yahoo boy is the same way they do to others and you hail them.

Now, is this the kind of country you want to live in? Start doing something about it. We have to take put lives back from these monkeys.
