A Nigerian police officer showed his gallantry when a 'politician' tried to intimidate him on a highway in Delta state.

The incident which was captured in trending video showed the man telling the officer who was on duty that he will not open his car boot after the policeman pulled him over for a search.

He said "I will rather die than to open any boot, you are doing an illegal job here"

The man is seen calling a senior police officer in Delta who instructed the policeman not to check the man's trunk 'because he is an S/A to a politician in the state'.

Seeing that the young police officer was not intimidated, the 'politician' stepped out of his car and opened the boot

Something is definitely wrong with this country. We were coming back from home just yesterday and the police stopped us. My guy was asked to show his papers, he gave them.

While they were still holding it, they asked him us him to come out of his car. He asked why, and they start pointing gun and threatening to beat him up. He was forced to do everything because somehow, they've observed he is just a common man.

Now, here is someone who has given every reason to be beaten and dragged outa that car for asoulting and using faul language against an officer on duty. They're only pleading with him to open booth. Giving him that VIP consideration in the line of duty. Which means even if he had human head in that car, it wouldn't have mattered.

And you say the rich and poor are equal before the law. That is a fat lie. Even rich criminal like Evans aren't given same treatment with other regular kidnappers. All caught kidnappers were paraded sitting on the ground with their shirts removed and their weapons before them.

Evans was given a chair to sit on and the liberty to talk to press people.

You do know the police needs a warrant to search your vehicle right?

You do realise that a stop and search checkpoint need to be backed by a signed warrant from a judge with the appropriate jurisdiction right?

You also realise that you have a right to privacy as per the constitution right?

You also know that the only time an officer has the right to search your vehicle without a warrant is if he has "probable cause" to do so right? And in this case there was none.

Know your rights my friend. This man was well within his rights to refuse that search.

And the excuse of "if you have nothing to hide" does not take away ones right to privacy.

If an officer has no rights to search your bags, house, phones or laptop without a warrant, what makes you think it is okay for them to search your vehicle without one?

Do you know the difference between a legal and illegal checkpoint? Have you tried to see how a police checkpoint affects your constitutional right to "freedom of movement"?

Don't be in a rush to come at me with insults as all I am trying to get you to do is find out more about your rights and privileges under the law and how the Police does not have the powers to violate or vacate those rights without a warrant.


I just find it shocking how ignorant of the law and their rights a lot of Nigerians are. I went through all the comments here and nobody seems to see that the Police Officers were actually violating that man's right by invading his privacy without a warrant. Some people even said "Why not obey order", meanwhile the same people applauded the guy who refused to open the door of his house when the police came to search it at night. The same people saying "if he has nothing to hide why not comply" come here to insult the police when they stop people on the street and demand to search their phones and laptops. I just thought to point out the ignorance of many Nigerians which is why the Police have been acting like there is no law guiding their operations thereby violating people's rights on a daily basis.

If you doubt me, find a good lawyer and ask him.

Honestly I used to think the police were wrong for all those stop and search antics. But going by the rate of ritual killings in the south, and body parts being used for whatever reasons, you better stop and open your modafu¢king boot you scumbag.

And yes, politicians are regular customers to ritualistic so they too should open their boots too
