Governor Wike has done well in reinstalling the traffic lights in Port Harcourt especially along Aba Road. However traffic wardens and some unidentifiable men on plain clothes have turned the traffic light junctions into their merchandise extorting unsuspecting motorists.

I have observed with keen interest how these guys operate. They stand by the traffic light waiting for someone to breach the traffic light even by a second. They will quickly block the vehicle with their rickety motorcycle and then attempt to extort money from the driver. This their activities is exclusively reserved for private vehicles. Sadly, they have ripped off a lot of unsuspecting motorists. They will pretend to be on official duty with a non-functional walkie-talkie.

Just yesterday, I packed my car at a nearby eatery and went to meet 2 traffic police women by the Market Junction traffic lights and asked them if they knew those men on plain clothes and they denied them. The looks on their faces suggested that they were not sure who I was. I then went to confront the plan cloth men and wanted to know on whose order they were operating. Obviously, they could not convince me on their mission.

My message for for NLers in PH is to be on the lookout for this guys. Always exercise caution when approaching those junctions. Once the timer is getting to 4...3...2, pls stop. This has been working for me. However, with time and after gathering more evidence, appropriate authorities will be notified and this menace will stop.

Happy New year in advance.

Thank you bros. They once tried to extort me at U.T.C junction.
