It was a beautiful saturday afternoon. I was travelling from Kano to Abuja through a commercial vehicle together with some other passengers. When we arrived at a check-point along Kano-Kaduna express road, we are intercepted by an officer of the Nigeria Immigration. He commanded all the male passengers to step down from the vehicle. We obeyed and was led to the other side of the road where we were handed over to another officer.

The officer told all of us to squat down; for no reason. All the passengers obliged but I refused and was about to protest before he shouted at me; I didnt know when I join the others. I actually felt humiliated like a common criminal. I figure it was wise to yield considering the fact that I was on the highway, in middle of no-where and helplessly defenceless.

Afterward, we were told to bring out our National I.D or drivers licence. Those that do not have were forced to pay N200 or threatened with 5 hours of detention. I Identified myself and was released.

What is really annoying with their operations is that their mission out there is to forcefully extort money from travellers in the name of identifying and arresting illegal immigrant. Of cause, it is obvious that a dangerous illegal immigrant can comfortably cruise around the country just by flinging N200 to those shamless uniform men.

I like to use this medium to call on the attention of the appropraite authority on the day-light robbery perpetuated by men of the Nigeria Immigration. Tax payers fund should not be wasted in paying the salaries of some corrupt individualss that are out there causing inconviniency to same tax-payers on the road. If they don't have any meaningful task to do, I humbly suggests that they should layed off or better still, deploy to Maiduguri where their energy and guns would be usefull.

Am telling you

Smh! Useless officers that don't know their job

That's exactly what they are

I woke up this morning with Joy, not because I don't have any problems, but cause today is another day for God to work a miracle.☺

Stealing is nt corruption

It once hapen 2mi once @ dat same Zaria-Kaduna road.. But I fink dey work 2gether wit the Nigerian Army who has a check point @ dat same place.

That was how last three weeks one useless low rank immigrations staff insisted I must give him 500 on my return from cotonou at seme, I just yelled at him that and told him he has no power to stop any Nigerian from entering his country it reached a level where another staff came and told me to go and stop embarrassing them.

You we need to stand your ground when you know you have done no wrong

We should always try to get their names and I'd number ,video or pictures so that we can embarrass them on social media, may be if we keep exposing them the government will put a stop to this corruption
