You won't believe there was a time in Nigeria when security officials 'humbly' arrest individuals.Pictured above is Prof. Wole Soyinka being arrested by a police officer in the good old days.

See how the police give am enough space unlike the present police that will hijack the hell out of a suspect until one part of the suspect's waist becomes higher than the other......

I hope Daura supermen services DSS are viewing this pic.

who is escorting who?

That's because they were not wearing [size=50pt] BLACK UNIFORM[/size] then

Imagine Wole walking with swags.

Then the police had pride

Dope@Wole

Lies! I dont see anybody getting arrested and taking a picture, looking very relaxed. They were probably taking a stroll.

that's how police still arrest well known Nigerians today so don't use Soyinka case as a yardstick on the method of Nigerian police then.if you are nobody in the 60's or a radical Naija police will panel beat you before you reach station sef,listen to fela songs.

Gazing from the pic, I don't think he looks arrested.

GBAM! ALSO THE #20 NOTE WAS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT AS BRIBE AND IT'S THE SALARY OF SOME CIVIL SERVANTS WHEN NAIRA HAD A 'GOLDEN VALUE'.

But if police try am now, guy I go no where! If I no run ma self!

Desperate times calls for desperate measures especially cases of indiscriminate arrest!

Wow

Nowadays police will grab you by the trouser and start dragging you like a mad person

The crime then and now are not the same.

Secondly, the police then are not wearing blacks

Lai Muhamed is not a minister then, all infos were the truth nothing but the truth.

There was no political party like APC

Pen is mightier than sword.

when "Indian hemp" and "Shekpe" wasn't a part of their diet.....

Its abt the person being arrested.police has been daft since BC

see the policeman thigh as e thick...

Good ol days , When police wear bumshots....

Like a king he walked into prison, then The Man Died.
