[b]Points I noted..

1. O.P parked illegally and got his car towed..

2. O.P paid a Bribe and demanded a reciept for the bribe as if it was a constitutional right..

3. O.P willing participated in the crime of Bribery.

O.P's complaints addressed..

1. O.P thinks the fact that they towed his car and left the other 'police' tagged vehicle equals 'selective Justice'.. What he does not realise is that No illegality was perpertuated.. The officials resevre the right to tow any veihicle at their discretion according to available logistics. Meaning; They had only one towing Van, so they towed only 1 vehicle which just happens to belong to the OP.

2. The Deflated tyres are a part of the standard operations procedure.

3. If you were not shown the fine chart, why then did you pay?! You reserve the right to contest every fine in Court, but O.P rather paid a bribe.




FINALLY:: OP is part of the rot in our society.. You commited an offence, got your car impounded, was told the official fine that he would have paid to a bank and helped the internal revenue of the state and yet opted to pay a bribe.. Then turns around to call on Oshomole to play the victim..

Shey if I slap you now people go say EDSTMA officials are heartless. [/b]

SicilyNaija:


you are worse than animal

Is that so?!



O well!! Thats your opinion and I can live with that... But my Post stands.. The OP is culpable for paying a bribe and should be in jail. Same for those who accepted the bribe.

The 1st time the so called EDSTMA stopped me, I was driving by the roundabout at ring-road. There was traffic, instead of these men to help in freeing traffic, they were looking for who to fault.
Traffic eased a bit and I moved, next thing was these men entered my car and say I should drive to their office.
I asked what my offence was and they said "diversion of lane".
I was like for roundabout again when hold-up dey and I no even divert lane.
Them begin call price dey bill me oh Shuo.
I just drive dey go, the man begin hold my steering oh. I tell am say I no dey stay this state.
The plan when I bin get to say road free na to drive go my destination make dem beat them.
Last last the person wen accompany me just give them 1k make dem dey go.


Before they fault you, them go 1st spy if your plate number no be Edo state.

The governor didn't talk about fines, maybe there are fines

but the question is what is the official amount?

solomonslones:

Why should I pay for the towing van?

solomonslones:

Why should I pay to inflate my tires?

solomonslones:

For 2 days I wasn't myself, felt so bad & angry.

If you are from Benin you will know the influx of cars in Benin around the Yuletide season. if this is not checked, then it will be a field day for EDSTMA

How many industries are in Akwa Ibom? The population is small and cars are so few so extorting the public will not be profitable.

The EDSMA AKA oshiomhole police has become a terror to vehicle users in Benin city. I have been a victim twice. The first incident was when i first moved to Benin,i parked in front of Ogida market to buy some food stuffs,before i came back my car was gone,i felt like my eyes was deceiving me,i knew i parked my car there and i locked it very well. I later asked some people around and they told me it was oshiomhole police that towed it,i had to go to their office and i saw it there. They gave me a bill of 23k,for illegal parking and unauthorized parking 10k each and 3k for towing. I had to beg and beg,last last i paid 10k before i left.
The second incident was still case of unauthorized parking,there was no notice of no parking there,i saw other cars parked on the right side and there was no more space so i had to park on the left and i never knew they don't park there,before i came out the boys where standing by my car. I pleaded with them but they refused,they told me to settle them with 3k but i gave them 2k i had with me but they refused,they called the towing van to tow my car.
When i got to their office i had to pay 10k. I had to get money from ATM. I have really suffered in their hands. I hate them with passion,i insult them whenever they come closed to me.I almost killed one when he was standing in front of my car. police are far better than them.

SO you paid bribe twice..


And you are not ashamed to say it..


And tomorrow you will point fingers at our politicians and call them corrupt..

solomonslones:
last week I parked my vehicle in a place that had no "no parking" sign & There was another vehicle parked in my front with a police license plate

I barely spent 20mins in the office I went to, when I came out my vehicle had been towed.

Luckily for me their office was not so far off, got there and explained to the man who seem to be incharge, he claimed that, that was a no parking zone, I asked him how he expected me to know without the no parking sign, his response was "everyone knows"

he directed me to another woman to attend to me, she charged me N25,000, stating that 20,000 was for my offense & 5,000 was for the tow truck.

Long story short ended up paying N10,000. When I asked for receipt they handed the money back to me & asked that I go pay the 25,000, then I'll have a receipt. I paid the N10,000 & drove off

Points to note

1. Selective justice:why didn't they tow the vehicle in my front(note it wasn't a utility van or a patrol van)

2. They deflated my tires despite the fact they had a well fortified gate(the Vulcanizer initially charged me N400 for 2tires, ended up paying N200) why should I pay for this?

3.Everyone knows what the official fines are for FRSC but EDSTMA does not show you any official list of fines to be paid( so how do I know I'm not being ripped off)


There were so many cars there with lots of shouting, threats & pleas majority of the offenders there were wrong parking & violation of traffic light, none paid less than N5000

I read in a vanguard article where the Governor said that violators of tragic light should be detained for at least 2hrs, I don't know if there are any fines attached to it but when you get to their office, you must pay

If truly the pen is mightier than the sword, I hereby plead with all to help me pass the message to the appropriate authorities that:

1. The public should be informed on the extent of the powers of EDSTMA(I have tried searching the bill enabling them, I haven't found any)

2. The public should be informed of the official fines to be paid so that when arrested, you will not be ripped off

3.A platform should be created for the public to report erring officials of EDSTMA


Thanks

1. The Official amount for your offence was 25,000 Naira.. Thats the amoiunt you opted not to pay but to settle for bribery.



2. Is the Towing running on solar energy?! Now that you used bribe to settle, how will the money for fueling the Van come from?



3. Its not by force to inflate your tyres.. You can drive them like that or use your mouth to blow air into it..



4. You are lucky.. You should be in jail.



5. The Only thing that should be checked are people like you who break the law and then offer bribes to evade punishment. You should be ashamed of yourself for paying anybody a bribe.. BUT you are so Nigerian that you even demanded a receipt for a Bribe..




#Seun.. Stop puting such fuckatious threads on the frontpage.. This is a classic example of everything that is wrong with Nigeria.. Not a single person on the whole fhucking thread has reprimanded the OP for paying a bribe.

OP should be in Jail right now.[/b]

solomonslones:


There was no "no parking" sign so I don't know how that constitutes illegality



There where several tow trucks driving round that axis, say the truth:they didn't want police wahala




Who nor dey house naim they beat police!!



Ok Thank you sir, I'm guilty as charged & I'm not playing the victim card neither am I looking for sympathy.

now I want to join the fight against bribery & corruption. Kindly make available the official amount to be paid

also create a platform for people to report erring officials

Thank you
PS:I'm sure you are a staff there

That is why I said Seun should take down this fuckery of a thread..

1. There was no sign.. So why did you pay?! Why didnt you sue them for entrapment?!

2. Why should I make available the official amount for your fine for you, DID I BREAK THE LAW?!

3. You said there was no sign, that was your opportunity to challenge the fine seeing as you had a case.. But I am sure you were guilty thats why you quickly paid the bribe.


There is no platform for complaints that would be created... If you feel you have been unjustly apprehended and fined, challenge your fine in the court of Law.

no sir, you are the typical example of everything that is wrong with nigeria. is that the reason why you guys did not put any sign post so as to extort money from innocent citizens. you are quoting law that the op paid a bribe.

See this Native Fowl..



So lets assume that indeed there was no sign where the OP parked, why then did he pay the gaddamn fine?!


Are you infinitely stuupid or what?!

Why didnt he contest the fine and charge in court like an innocent man?!

Do you know that he is still culpable for the crime of bribing a public official even if his fine is overturned?!

Education... Thats what most Nigerians truly need..

You want to slap me, go ahead take your best shot

It appears you did not get the essence of the whole post.

It appears as your moniker is so are you, so I will ignore you before you contaminate me with evil

I got the essence of the whole post.. In summary, what you want are;

1. Road signs on the roads..

2. A list of offences and fines..

3. Reciept for bribes paid..



Tell me if I missed anything?!


The fact remains you paid a bribe for a crime you felt you didnt commit.. Still does not make it any less of a bribe.

Speaking of Monikers, for someone named Solomon (after the mythical wisest man), you are outstandingly stuupid..


Dont bother replying me cos you cant win.. If you feel you have been wronged, take to Police and go arrest somebody. Oshomole aint got time to be on the internet reading such drivel.

solomonslones:
As for those saying "why did I pay bribe , why didn't I sue"

The system here is messed up, it's not everyone that has the time & resources to hire a lawyer & go through all the rigors of the court process

we hear of cases that have been in court since 2012,2013

So the man whose case is in court since then, will most probably have his car in the impound lot, pay the legal fees etc how many people can afford this

If you are traveling & driving thru Benin, this happens, will you have the time to go to their office & engaging in a legal battle

the system should be improved that's all I'm after

Guy drex!!

Shey na the same Benin wey we all don grove tire?!

You never carry case go court but you don judge the matter say e go reach fifty years.. Why not first try. Since you are too lazy to sue, we are too lazy to care.


Typical Nigerians and their foolish response.. If that woman in Lagos had adopted your style, she no for see 15million naira settlement and Lastma for still dey rascal like before.
