Do you know that the Police or other Military officers “looks face” before they stop and/or search any vehicle at check points in Nigeria?

If you drive Toyota Corollas or Volkswagen Golf and other ubiquitous car nameplates and models, chances are that you can be stopped by the Police, SARS, Soldiers, VIO and others to check your particulars, harrass you or just ask “anything for us?”

However, there are some vehicles that you drive that either confuses the military men as to who is driving or driven in such vehicles, hence they are cautious or do not stop you at all. This is because those vehicles are used by top Government officials, wealthy and powerful people, or security personnels.

Even if you are driving yourself, you may not be stopped, let alone when you tint the windows and/or cover the number plate.

Here are some of those vehicles:

1. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado: It is no news that Toyota vehicles is loved by Nigerians. The Toyota Landcruiser Prado is an executive SUV. This is used by the President (convoy), Senators, Politicians, top civil servants, the rich and their escorts. Almost all politicians has a Toyota Land cruiser Prado, at least as an official vehicle.

3. Rolls Royce Phantom : Any Rolls Royce vehicle is sure not for the poor. Be driven in a 300 million Naira Rolls Royce Phantom and no Police or military officer would stop you. They sure know that you must be a wealthy person and just a phone call to their superior can cost them their jobs. But if you are in this and the police stops you, check, it may be criminals – like thieves or kidnappers! Femi Otedola, DJ Cuppy, Emoney, Esama of Benin, The Igbinedions, Arthur Eze and others own this masterpiece.

5. Mercedes Benz S560 : Drive this and you are sure to confuse military personnel’s on checkpoints. This 61million Naira car is the official car of the president of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari. He unveiled it during his Swearing-in ceremony for second term in office on March 29th this year.

6. Bentley Mulsanne: This car is a billionaire status symbol and an alternative to Rolls Royce Phantom. From Linda Ikeji, who even bought one too for his son Jayce to Don Jazzy and other billionaires in Nigeria, only those who can drop about a 100 million Naira without sweat can get this.

7. Mercedes Benz G Wagon: Any recent model of G Wagon you drive signals anyone that you are rich. It is owned by politicians, the rich, and fraudsters alike. This is sure to confuse military personnels at check point because they wouldn’t know who is behind the wheel or driven in it, especially if the windows is tinted.
Any youngster you see drive this may be a politician’s child or that of the rich and the police do not want them to say, “do you know who my dad is?” For that alone can lead to trouble for them.

8. Range Rover: Range Rover is a luxury vehicle and the Range Rover Sentinel owned Cameroonian President is currently the most luxurious State car in Africa. Here in Nigeria, the armoured Vogue is the State car of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, Former Lagos State Governor, Ambode had one in his convoy, E-money, and so on.

9. Innoson IVM G80: From afar, it may be confused for a Mercedes G Wagon but it is actually a 2.4L, 4×4 made in Nigeria luxury SUV. The IVM G80 is currently one of the official vehicles of most top Military Officers, few rich Nigerians and top government functionaries.

10. Toyota Hilux: Well, this makes this list because it is widely used by security personnels in Nigeria, companies and private individuals. If you want to keep the security agents guessing, just tint your windows, get a Police “SPY” number plate or cover the number plate.

Interesting

What about Lamboghini (mercy eke), Ferrari, Bugatti, any limo, escalade? or are these cars not for supper rich too?

Why won't millitary stop you? So because you roll in a very expensive ride means you are above the law? Nonsense and tacha/odour

Haha they found a way to sneak Innoson into the mix smart move

drive any of those cars and see how you will be respected by security personnels, they will even explain to you the reason why they are searching other cars and salute you when you are about leaving( that is if they even engage you before letting you drive pass).


but op, I don't think that bmw 760li will not get you stopped considering it is not very popular in nigeria and it is not luxurious from the outside, they might stop thinking you are one of the rich guys, not a powerful guy

I understand you sir. hope you are talking about Nigeria military personnel only. The op needs to be specific about the country

Just play Ema damiduro èmi ọmọ bàbà olówó nobody will stop you even if you drive micra

Truly, Car pass car and as you rightly said, it is because these vehicles are used by politicians and others.

If you want to be checked at every checkpoint, just be a young chap with dreadlocks and drive a C class or Toyota Camry. To make matters worse, let their be a laptop inside the same car.

na boiz scout go stop person for that one

What of 2010 Mercedes clk 350?

I never knew how sweet road immunity really is until I started using government plates... Even without tinted glasses police n road safety have never stopped me once.

My friend wey use Hilux with govt plate number dey deceive girls and chance police

I’ve been stopped a couple of times in a G wagon. It simply depends on the boldness of the officer(s) on duty.

White lies, I've been stopped severally with police number set . land crusier and hilux

If police no stop you, criminals go stop you for road.

Is that a question or a statement?

What do you mean by "state"?. @Infinityk, immortalityk, k,k,k,k

EazyMoh:

True bro..That is a bonus actually.

This one doesn't know anything.

Drive a Peugeot 406 or 307. You'll drive from here to Maiduguri, no single security agent would near you.

Oga, Hilux is number 1 and 2 and 3....others na still Hilux.

Op fa fa fowl.

Then You’d better be in a convoy

Truth is that if you personally drive yourself alone out in any of those vehicles above you must be stopped. In fact except you live in Abuja and drive only along a particular route, you will be stopping at every checkpoint.

You think they won’t want to know who’s in the ride? Highest What you’d be hearing is ‘ahh Oga abeg wind down, make we see you. Anything for us

No sir, the military will ask you to identify yourself and let you pass rather than giving you a free entry / exit.

It also has to do with who ordered the check point and its basis.

no body stops me in Hilux

Are u a novice?
3days ago on my way back from SHP RIT.. A black tilted Prado was stop in from of us by Police, to my surprise it was a SENATOR
