Oh sweet memories. I remember once when i was stopped by a policeman at a check point and after checking my papers, they demanded egunje. I refused. Since they saw that i was not going to comply they demanded to do a thorough check of my vehicle and person. I did not object, especially since i noticed they had been drinking and had riffles on them. After looking through my wallet, they saw a credit card and automatically labeled me a yahoo guy. They said i had to cough out 50k else i would spend the night in detention. I said no problem. I asked if it was possible to call someone to bring the money for me and they said yes. I promptly called the U.S consulate and they sent a representative down to the check point to see what was going on. The funny thing was the policemen didn't understand who they were and tried to arrest them for having illegal plates. So funny. After grasping the situation, come see begging. God, i felt so good. From being called yahoo boy they started begging on their knees calling me "oga". Nigeria is so phucked.

I had a similar experience with this thieving retards on the same route sometimes back. But I made sure I had the last laugh. As I proceeded to the commissioner of police office after my encounter ( surprisingly I was sitting in his office after an hour of waiting). I laid my complaint and he reacted swiftly by inviting them over, they wia disgraced and humiliated. And locked up for 2weeks. I guess they haven't learnt their lesson. Op do not hesitate to go to the CP's office or the OC SARS at A division. U don't have to know anybody.

Like an hour ago, I was at the back sit of SARS vehicle with handcuffs in my hands. They said am a Yahoo boy for having a kik application on my smartphone.


I was traveling from Omu Aran to ilorin, I pressed up, wearing my blue Jean, T shirt, my newly bought African shaped neck chain and All stars sneakers. So the journey began and we passed the first police check point and few minutes after continuing the journey, we got to SARS people (at a junction in about entering Oke Onigbin town) and we were told to come down (all boys), I first feel scared but also I have nothing to be scared off cause I have the receipt for all my gadget with me, so I keep calm and answer his question perfectly. He check my pocket and found my two phones (Lumia 535 and Infinix Note 2), he check my bags and found my belongings (books, wires and my laptops), he asked if I have the receipt and I answered yes. Then he said I should unlock my phone (Note 2), I did and he start checking then he saw a social media app (KIK) on my phone, he asked if am a "game boy" and I said yes, all my mind was he is asking about video games because I have up to 20 games on my phone. He check other guys then told me to follow him, I did and he said "it's good that I don't lie", he asked my school and my name and I told him. Then from no where he said am a "Yahoo boy", the soul in me seems to left my body that moment, I realise am in big soup and I start swearing on everything that comes to my mouth. I deny his allegations then he start frowning and threat to destroy my career in school and that I will go to jail if I didn't confess, so I decided to come down to his level and ask how much to settle him, he said 20k, I started begging but he's desperate and then he called his boss, an old man, to my surprise he also lay the same allegations and all I can do is start begging and swearing am not a Yahoo boy.

After begging and rejecting their allegations, I was told to sit behind their vehicle, I did and they close the door on me while one of them keep saying they should handcuff me, I keep rejecting their allegations and then the guy earlier attempted to slap me right in the vehicle I sat in, he then decided to handcuff me from then. They start claiming they will destroy my life, that I agreed to been a Yahoo boy and then I started denying it again. I decided to keep shut and wait till my dad comes since we are not too far from home and I have signal to my brother (we both traveling together) to call my dad which he did, I waited and didn't talk to them anymore. Every cars passing were all looking at me right behind the vehicle, I felt embarrassed.

My dad came and they attended to him, they tell him what they said I am (yahoo boy) and that I have admit it, he knowing fully well who I am, told them that I am not and he knows fully what I do online. He told them that I am an importer and also work online as a freelance graphic designer. They said the app is for Yahoo boys and not app to import goods. I can't help but burst into tears because am presently embarrassing my dad along with me.

The boss then show my dad an app on his phone but my dad doesn't know anything about this stuff, the boss told me to explain what happened in front of my dad, I did and he ask why I have those apps on my phone, I explain am an importer and also an online person but he left and asked the first guy to attend to us. So my dad asked what the solution is since he knows they all want money, I didn't hear what goes next but he later gave them 2k after demanding for 5k, they removed the handcuff, gave my phone back to me and we left.

I have never experienced anything like this in my entire 20 years on earth, I only hear it but it happened to me today. It makes it my first time in their car or police car and first time of been in handcuff (which breaks my heart).

This is purely violation of human right and I regret that I have no evidence to follow this up. But never can I forget their faces on this earth.

***The app (Kik) is a social media app which I used to chat with a friend in Los Angeles, not a very common app in Nigeria but one of the most used app in USA making it the only social app to connect with her.

If this is what Nigeria has become (became), then it's a sad story.

DavidHunds:
Sorry bro, something similar happened to me , only that I had something to prove my innocence

Recently at yaba , some policemen saw me making a phone call with my phone.
On sighting me, they stopped me like they've been waiting for me(imagine) and started the questioning

After series of questions and false claims
Of me being a yahoo boy, just cos they saw an iPhone with me
They asked for my ID
Thank God I had it on me , id prolly have been taken away too cos they seemed desperate

Nigerian Policemen Are Just Pathetic

Mister, no policeman has a right to check your phone without a valid warrant. Once you tell a Policeman this, he'll know that you are bad market for him and he'll let you go. Ordinary twitter fit comot cloth for him body.

If you decide to let them ride you, Na you sabi

popcykaylah:

Hahaha..my cousin wey be lawyer..he chop beaten of his life ..na sorry them tell am last..despite our uncle being an ex head of Sara in ilorin. .

grandlexuz:
Wow... I am totally taken aback. So you saying in Nigeria it is very "normal" for a police man to check on someones phone without a warrant? What business has a police got with a passenger's mobile gadgets? Are they not better ways of tracking yahoo boys other than infringing on the rights of citizens. In Cameroon it will take a warrant from a high court judge for a police officer to go through someones phone. I tire for Nigeria oh!

popcykaylah:

Hahahahah..oga I have a master's in English and bsc in linguistics. ..finished from the eksu..and I have 2 lawyers in my family..so I know the law quite well..
My advice for you once you see federal Sars and they stop you ..please do agidi well well...the rest of your remainder will be in luth

dipznano:


Panic is the greatest weapon against yourself in situations like this! You need to stay composed... Many times have I been harassed driving, strolling or even in a cab, they say I'm dressed like a yahoo boy and my hair cut is like one I just laugh at them for about a minute before I flash dem several Id cards and den ask dem for my phone or car keys while staring into their eye sockets... I swear I don offer them biscuit wey I dey chop on a stroll one day like dat dem no collect am sha


+ op, get urself together abeg, the whole matter still dey show 4 ur English, u no even sabi if na become or became
