I you are being followed in Lagos Nigeria drive straight to a busy bustops like Oshodi,Obalende,Mile 2,Ojuelegba etc.
Park right in front of commercial buses, ask for help. Your predator will likely be caught in such places.
Driving to lonely places is a death trap, cant be too sure of the police station either.

what of those with no car

That police own nai I nor like for inside so...

Which police?... Where there number dey??

Them get network??

And even u manage call them... Them go con drive come meet you abi?... Because na u b federal government..... U be ambode... Or oshiomole...


Nigeria... I hail thee...

U better start running for your life or just make your will.... Before they get closer... No escape be dat.... Especially on a high way?.... Story for the gods!!!

Drive to d nearest security agency or restrictd area eg. Aso villa, state house, shrine

Drive straight to the nearest Police and report

Irrelevant thread. No be person wey get fuel motor dey foLlow?

Ok

Pray to GOD for escape. People like that may be armed. I bet you will pull over at a single order when you sight them wave the raw iron to you to stop.

And calling the police at that time may not be useful. Or will you be calling police in their presence? Prayer not to experience such is what you need.

Simple!! Move to crowded place or d nearest police station

AutosBay:
Make four right or left turns. It's unlikely anyone will also be traveling in a complete circle, so if the car is still behind you after 360 degrees you can be fairly certain you are being followed.
If you're on the highway, get off and then back on. Again, this is something most people will not do when driving so you're likely being followed if a car is still behind you when you get back on the highway. If this happens, pull over to the side of the highway. If you're being followed by a surveillance team, they will not pull over because it's too obvious. They may, however, wait at the next exit so if you want to lose them don't choose the next exit or the exit that you usually take.

If any of these techniques lead you to believe you're being followed, call the police.

do you mean Nigeria police or which?

If you notice a car is following you:-

1..do not let it overtake yon.

2..take four right turns and if it still follows you, speed up and call for backup/help.

what if it's the police that is following you?

;DwOn a highway, you can use large semi-trucks to your advantage. Wait for the right moment to weave in front of a truck without enough room for your tail to follow, nor see you. When you are out of their vision, you can quickly get off at the next exit before they have time to do the same.

Op you forgot to add get to a road with less traffic and then slow down and park and see if the car would stop or zoom off

Rubbish, what if after taking that 360° turns u reach a deserted cul-de-sac and u have no where to go ,they can corner u and harm u if that was their intension. Stopping on the highway, really? And give them an opportunity to pull out a gun, shoot u and quickly drive off. this write up is stupid and unsafe.

The best thing to do is drive to a crowded place, its much better than the two mentioned options, but then, if that day is The day to return to your Maker, there's nothing u can do about it.

maximunimpact:
who should i call when someone is following (stocking) me on nairaland?

stalking

In a situation whereby the intention of the follower is to assasinate, what will you do?

The OP has no idea at all.

If you are sure that you are being followed, never let them know that you know.

If you are on a highway, drive straight ahead, pray for a security check point where you can stop, if inside town, drive to a police station, if not possible, drive to a crowded location, try to lose them, stop the car, get out and find a good spot to have a good view over your car (watch your back). Make some calls.

If this is also not possible, locate the nearest bank (with a ready parking slot - don't stay in your car on the road waiting for security to clear a spot for you), park your car and observe

OkDifferent confused ppl just come on here to open a meaningless thread.
I dont blame you, data had become so cheap,so at the expense of Nairaland you write trash.you Don watch enuf foreign movies which are fictions .
What we or you should do when a car is following you.
At the current rate of pms,bad state of roads,impatient bus drivers who liter dia stomach with alcohol, or the security agents who love to oppress innocent nigerians.
Abeg where has it been heard of,so if im being chased by robbers,i wud stress myself to look for cutting corners,or I go Park dey wait them them because I be road safety.
You go jus see one stupid article for Web,wey belong to the western world,copy am,come dey edit into naija version dey form advice.

Who wants to be killed,i no even see anything like locate nearest police station,or use GPS on your phone to locate security agents,or something more reasonable, na to dey write trash.
Kids with ninja turtle brains need to think way much faster and larger outside the box.

sorry to bring this up here

problems encountered during npower registration

after series of trials, I got to the last page and submitted but it did not submit. upon subsequent trials to re-continue, it says that my email, phone number and bvn have been used.... pls, what does this imply?


someone should please help.

how do I check the status of my registration

who will follow me when I am in this fast car?

If you sense you are being followed, drive to a bank. Signal the security guys to call the police. Police at most banks are usually fully armed at all times and they have phone numbers for back up on standbye

If you are far from a bank, your next best bet is a crowded bus stop or market. Simply stop, get out from the passenger door and get lost in the crowd

If you are on a lonely road that you are familiar with, your very best bet is the element of surprise, you can race till you get to a buzy section or stop abruptly in an area you know very well

try follow me like that u go experience James Bond live

Call Nigerian Police? HELL NO

Very unrealistic.
This isnt a post meant for my dear country. (Naija).
if you are beung followed, my brother march the turtle as fast as you can.
"Cos only 2things can be the reason;
Either they are assasins sent to kill you or robber who have targeted your car or tail you from your earlier destination.
Please dont go and get yourself stuck in a corner while turning left 10times cos you will just mistakenly follow one-way & lastma will arrest you then those following you will mob you and the lastma togeda.
All at once...o di poe (in baba fela's voice.


Once again my fellow country people, if you are being followed, march am well make them no catch you. Only when you are alive can you tell your story & make it hit front page.

ire oooo

I was at a bank one day to use ATM when I started hearing noise not too far away.

Well, it was a case of someone trailing a man.

He noticed it and parked. The fools trailing him parked as well which was their greatest undoing.

The man called his friends and asked them to back behind the car that has been trailing him. And that was how they were caught. There was mopol at the bank so they quickly use them to get the guys out.

How it ended is what I do not know but before I left, those guys were already receiving beating and interrogations.

Nice one!

Drive very fast, hide then once the car pass u, start following them closely bumper to bumper, the hunter becomes the hunted, make sure you have a shot gun in your car b4 u try this o. #necessary precaution.

drifing use a u turn if possible

Do we have police in Nigeria?

Supposing kidnappers and assassins are trailing you, do you think it is safe to pull over especially on the highway? It is better to drive and make your trailer lose you.
