Please could you help clarify this issue with the Nigerian Police?

I have been stopped by the men of the Nigerian Police twice now while driving. They asked for all the papers which I tendered (I am the perfectionist type, I like to have all my papers ready so as to avoid having to beg these men for whatever reasons). For each of these two times, they request for my location papers for my plate number. For all I know, location paper is only issued by the Lagos State Government and not every other states. My plate number is an Abuja number, but each time, these people insist I must produce it. I am having to settle them so as to let me go each time.

Is there anybody out there who knows if Abuja now issues location paper for plate numbers?
If there is any respectable police person out there, please I need him to advice me on what to do whenever these people demand for this again.

where are these police men based in? in Abuja or when u travel out of town?
i think ur response will help one answer u

Hi,

Somebody please help.I have been a victim ( I was driving to the east,somewhere between shagamu and edo state).I thought I had everything including the name of the guy that designed the ride
I hate begging and hate giving bribes,(water allowance or whatever name it is called) even more to the police.
Do we have a respectable lawabiding policeman on this forum

This is just 'FAKE' request by Police

What you need is PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

Once you have that, call -off their Bluff.

What they are calling allocation of plate num. Is the receipt for payment of the plate number. So just look for it dey will keep quiet once u bring it out. If u live in the south- south u 'll know all these.
