So sad about the experience. You didn't commit any offence to be detained and locked up!

The police guys just scammed you using the excuse of FRSC, JTB and licensing offices inefficiency. The truth is that number plates are not updated on the FRSC portal for months i.e most Lagos numbers with G are not yet uploaded, last update was for F numbers likewise any other state number newly issued.

You should report to relevant (higher) authorities to bringing the police officers to book for their behaviour. Of cos, the DPO is not ignorant of the payment!

your brain dey pain you ahswear,if truly you were there you won't take side with this devilish police officers.

Ikpumbe1:

They collected another twenty one thousand naira to release the vehicle today. In total, fifty one thousand five hundred naira was extorted from us. I need justice...

Unrated900:
D same happened yesterday to a friend of mine

They stopped him and says the same


It’s a new avenue they used in the east to extort Lagos Number plate.

Ur agent did the right thing.

I think u should tagged Lagos licensing office and explain to them las las you would be compensated for the damage.

If they didn’t answer you,

Then tagged sanwo-Olu

This might be your avenue to change your 05 Honda to 2013 crosstour

The police do not do this in the north, the government should better implement all endsars demands now or else the next one would consume them and all those looters

On 29/12/2020 in Aba, I was stopped by a group of police men while driving myself and family members on my 2005 honda accord. The police men wore just police camouflage polos with no displayed Identity card, name tag or force number and were carrying AK-47 rifles. I was driving my 2005 honda accord car with Lagos registration number.

Inside the car were my two younger brothers, my younger sister, my wife and my one year old baby. The police men requested for my vehicle papers and driver's license which I handed over to them. They said that my license registration number is fake. They showed me an FRSC web page where they ran my plate number and it displayed "Invalid".

I explained to them that the number was duly registered in Lagos and that the plate number was gotten via legal channels and there is no way it can be fake. They wouldn't hear of that. I demanded that they allow me call who registered the vehicle for me which I did. The agent that registered the vehicle for me is a colleague of mine in the office that has connection with FRSC.

He explained to me that Lagos is the only state that produces their plate number themselves and that sometimes they don't upload it on FRSC database. So, that the number doesn't show on FRSC database doesn't mean that it's fake. He gave me Lagos autoreg verification website(verify.autoreg.ng) to give the policemen to verify the plate number . I personally verified my number on the autoreg website and it showed valid. I tried explaining these to the policemen but they wouldn't hear the explanation.

They collected the car keys from me to drive the car to their station but couldn't start the car after several attempts. They ordered I and my younger brother into their miniature mitsubishi bus and took us to their station. They later took my brother back to the car location and towed the vehicle to their station.

They told me to UnCloth to my boxer shorts and detained me inside their cell(the condition of the cell is story for another day). I was detained for approximately 6hours till my dad came and they collected thirty thousand naira from him before releasing me. The DPO ordered for my release after my father intervened and is most likely aware of the thirty thousand that was paid before I was released.

He(DPO) said my vehicle should not be released till they conclude investigation on the license plate issue. They defrauded 30k from my father to effect my release when I committed no crime. My vehicle was duly registered in Lagos which can be verified on autoreg website. They detained me for no just cause for 6hours in a filthy cell that is not fit for lower animals let alone a human being. They refused to release my vehicle till this moment thereby causing a lot of hardship to my family for someone that visited home for Xmas.


I have resolved to fight the humiliation I am suffering in their hands with everything I have got. I just want to be sure that what my agent told me is the truth. Is a plate showing on autoreg but not on FRSC database fake? How can I prove that my plate number is authentic?
Please gurus should respond.

Ikpumbe1:
Thank you all for your responses. I am now sure that my plate number is not fake. I am at the police station waiting for the arrival of the IPO and DPO. A policeman that was part of the squad that I spoke to still maintains that the plate number is fake since it is not on the FRSC database. To them, that is the only database they know. He also said that if they release the car, it may not be with the plate number since it is 'fake'. The DPO will have the final say when he arrives. After then I will know what to do.

Why do they need guns? To check vehicle papers, fire extinguishers and tyres? Are you okay?

Follow the argument before you comment. Don't jump in like an idiot. How are stolen vehicles being recovered if the police are refrained from authenticating vehicle ownership?

StacyO:


All I can say is
*sorry for yourself*




When you mentioned FRSC members making use of guns,was when I knew nothing good can come out from that saliva hole again.


I wish I had time for not so important persons today. Truth is, I DON'T

Non of your comment on this thread actually made sense.


I really don't blame you cause,nothing works accordingly in Nigeria.

However,it is not entirely the fault of her government but,that of her citizens as well.

If at all Op knew his rights,he wouldn't have given them a dime.

People like you keep making your gullibility quite known to the entire public.

Shame.

Exit.

ojesymsym:
Yes, u read the book or watched the movie? If it was the movie you watched then know that you have a watered down (false) version, the book has a far richer content.

EdmundDantes:

The movie. I know there is no way the content of a movie can equate that of a book.

ojesymsym:
Well, in this case it is too far from the true content. Anyway, thanks for engaging.
