It hapened 2day 2/11/2012 that I was comin 4rm Ikeja to Mile 2, so when I alighted from bus, two well dressed men just approached me and was pleadin 4 me 2 show them 'orege' that they are sailors from Senegal, so I told them to get lost that wat they were sayin doesn't concern me but they kept folowin me to the extent that I crossed to the other side of the road n they kept folowin me.
To cut the story short they were pressurin me to com and see their goods, I refused & entered another bus, they folowed but unfortunately for them two soldiers were monitorin us from afar,so they came to my rescue and arested the men,panel beat them and took us to police station to make statement,the two fraudsters were detained @ Police station. The police nw ordered that I should appear in Court on monday 5/11/2012
Please o I don't want to go to any court.Your advice pls!

Go court go do wetin? What crime did you commit? Abeg go get a Lawyer as soon as possible before those evil minded policemen turn against you.

Please if i were u i would not honour any court invitation o.after all u hav given your statement..though if they hav ur address thats bad,but pls u can, see a lawyer it could get bigger than u think!

Get a lawyer. He'll advice you. And if anybody must be in court, its your lawyer. They might need to hear your side of the story in order prosecute the case properly. You don't have to be in court and I don't advice you to go.

Thanks All 4 ur wonderful advice.

As for police turnin against me I don't think its possible because by the grace of God d soldiers that rescued me also made a statement duly signed @ d police station.

If these guys are not Nigerians, why does he need to waste his time and money on a lawyer. Let him settle the police so that these guys can stay in detention for as long as anyone likes. They can even "disappear" for good!
That 24hours rubbish is only for politicians. Have you seen a common Nigerian arrested at a check point or wherever charged to court within 24 hours before?

hahaha those Guys are nigerians. I lost 2 phones to them when I was in naija.

At mile2 and alaba rago to alaba international you find them claiming to be
cameronians with goods. They will lie to you they brought electronics but
dont know naija currency. I was so greedy and ignorant to have followed them
to a spot where my phones and empty wallet were snatched at knife point.

Dont know people like you still exist. How can they fool you with a trick known for over twenty years.

A guy tried that on me in the early Nineties, met me in Warri and told me is is a sailor from cameroon, does not understand much English and he is looking for Allen Avenue.

Imagine someone looking for Allen Avenue in Warri, I told him I know the place, he should follow me and be prepared to pay the transport fare.
He quickly sensed I was planning to fool him into paying my transport fare home, he quickly left me alone and disappeared.
