Guys, when ever I tell my friends that I fear police more than armed robbers n hired asserssin, they laugh thinking its a joke. I will rather run to armed rubbers for protection than to the Nigerian police; maybe in a police armed robber shoot out.

To hell with d phrase; police is ur friend its like saying "the assassin is ur friend"

This is a sad news, the issue of policemen in Nigeria (our country) its more than wht we can b discussing about, bcs, its not d responsibility of policemen to kill d citizen for no reason except been ordered to do so. Inshort, this policeman should b kill as well and suspects.

Raiyo: Yesterday, i was coming back from Ikeja around 5pm, one very smelly and drunk rascal policeman , a misfit by all standards called me, his breath reeked of alchohol and his shirt had accumulated enough dirt to go round everyone in Lagos. He demanded for ID, i gave him, he then went on on to ask me what i was doing at that time of the day... dammit!, it was a bad experience because he tried to extort money from, i gave him the last 1k i had so i could walk free... accidental discharge dey fear me wel wel.

I hate them... 90% of them are retards.... na dis mumu quota dey mess us up.

Whenever you are stopped by a policeman in Nigeria, please roll down your glass, wear a big smile and let them know we are all stitched up in this mess together even if you're driving a Ferrari. Emphasis on wear a big smile.

RIP to the departed.

Always works like a charm. I've been preaching this to all my friends and family for years. In a lawless jungle like Nigeria, and anywhere else for that matter, charm and amiableness - or their semblances or affectations - are the most effective defences you have against ill-will and danger in the hands of ordinarily wicked or frustrated people that are in a position to cause you harm.

I can't remember the last time policemen asked me for my "particulars" and whatnot. Once they stop me, my countenance and disposition already assures them that 'this one na our person jare', and the next thing they say is 'oga, how weekend na, anything for us'? N200 and a few banters later, I'm on my jolly way.

Adopting a combative or arrogant attitude with these armed, poorly remunerated, unprofessional, and frustrated characters might land you in untold trouble - same principle applies to the brutes in the armed forces, as well as the urchins in LASTMA.

Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by segunsun8: 11:15am On Jun 11, 2013
I will like to caution Lagos State Police PRO Ngozi Braide to always mind her comment, imaging her saying those killer were hired assassin in police uniform while their identity has been made known, it is unfair of her. On several occasions she has been mis-comment on important scene.
Moreover, Owode-Ajegunle police station and Ebute Ipakodo Police station(at Dangote Port) should also be curbed, everyday between 5.00pm to 7.00am they always disturb the motorist coming or going to Ikorodu. I will also advice IG to order that police who are not on special mission(RRS,SARS)should be using rubber bullet, even those on special mission with real bullet should be well trained and they should not be a drinking type as well not to collect money from anybody on the road, they are to just being station in strategic places.
In addition,those police officers from Niger delta area should not be given gun to handle at all(if at all let them be in Boko Haram zone to handle gun), one day one of them was telling me that he will kill me because i insisted we are not going to give them any money along Owode-Ibeshe road In Ikorodu, Lagos. RIP for the deceased. God save Nigeria.

despite the fact that nigeria police are largely incompetent,if this eye witness account is true then the victim would have been shot by any police officer in the usa.
people must understand that the men is uniform are marked men and they dont know who is who.when they stopped him why didnt he roll down the glass and put off the engine?in the us if a police officer stops u ,u must put off the engine and place ur hands on the steering.we are in a period where police are killed in drive by shootings and most especially the nation is battling against a terrorist group which has been reported that it has expanded to the west.what was the guy doing with foreign passports?well that is not our issue.the victim asked for it.
anytime u are stopped by a police officer ,park well ,switch off ur car engine and talk to them politely,the victim did none ,they were talking to him he was smilling,he didnt roll down and neither did he switch off his car.
Are you Kidding me? this post is a joke right?

Do you see the reaction of Nigerians in this forum. How many of us have called the policeman an angel and codemned the foreigner for being a foreigner. That is the difference between us.

shevon: Had a similar experience like Raiyo's. There was a day I had an appointment with my Optician in Aguda; immediately after the session, I left and went straight to the bus stop. As I was waiting for a cab, a team of policemen in a commercial bus stopped and asked me to explain what I was doing at the bus stop by past 11am in the morning, I told them I was just coming from a doctor's appointment. They insisted on searching the content of the cellophane bag with me (which contained some drugs and my glasses) and I obliged. They also said they had to check the content of my phone (despite showing them my ID) but I refused; by then people have starting gathering, including my Doctor, which was what actually gave me the courage to resist them carrying out the obnoxious act. If not, I sure say I for reach station or at least they'd drag me into their bus just for standing at the bus stop.
Tactless bunch of nitwits.
I finally understand why most people don't give a hoot if 100 police men are massacred by militants.
Really sad

You know we have a problem when a policeman starts shouting @ another policeman, calling him an armed robber in the station.
Some policemen where posted to d village where I serve, and ended up being living in d same building with me.
Honestly, when I think about their conversations, they live a very wretched life.

Okija juju: Very good job arresting the killer cops, but again why drive against traffic?

Death sentence for indiscipline is the fastest way to a saner Nigeria..In Rivers State, driving against traffic is legal as long as you have the police with you or you are driving a vehicle with green plates..
undisputednesta: tongue
did you guy not read the part of the article where it says,the road was closed for construction and it was allowed for drivers to go against traffic temporarily?who in this country will say they haven't driven against traffic especially with all or most of our roads in half state of construction?

People aren't noticing on this forum the downward and vague defending of Nigeria police by this Police woman (Ngozi Braide), hear what she said on this matter, always trying to defend the police of their devilish and evil act.

i did read the story, but my dear if you live in Port Harcourt, you will be frustrated by these gov and big men with Mopol that conveniently drive against traffic and fuucck up the traffic situation even worse. In Lagos, I noticed that it rarely happens.

Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by Cipriani(m): 3:19pm On Jun 12, 2013
Who can blame the police for the stupid acts they carryout all the time when the President himself is highly irresponsible. Looking at the level of corruption and the embezzlement of funds meant for the police force, one should not expect less from the police in respect to their animalistic behaviour. If police colleges were in good shape and cadets had proper training before becoming officers, we would not witness all these rubbish. How can a sergeant be collecting N25k -N30k as salary and we would not expect them be corrupt.

Until corruption stops in this country, we will never have a decent police force.
