This country amaze me... For rel? Arrested for not having the recept?? Besides.. At least here (us)the police can't serch u without having probable cause.. Probable cause means police must have some facts or evidence to believe you're involved in criminal activity. In other words, an officer's hunch without evidence of illegal activity is not enough to legally search your car or your person. Before searching, he must observe something real... What does the law say in Nigeria? I'mma research that.. Lol wooww I feel sorry for the guy.. That's so inconvinient and time consuming.. Not to talk about if he go miss work also...

its not new, nigerian police will ask for receipt of a bowl of garri from you if you are not lucky, its their way its all in a bid to reap you off your money.

'Reap' is wrong. 'Rip' is the right word.
