good evening all,
seeing that this forum has done so much in bringing our public officials and companies to their senses when they go about doing the wrong thing, so i want to bring this issue to this place with the hope that it will reach the right office ( you never know who is online)

so i got a call today from my mum telling me that my dad has an issue with the police, on getting to to our family house i asked my dad what the issue was, he narrated the following.....

he (my dad) was contracted by a certain community to supply electrical materials ( bell conductor wires, D irons etc) for the installation of the community electricity, so he (dad) went to the market and bought all the things and was issued a receipt after he made payment..... while transporting these materials they were stopped by policemen along opobo road, ogbor hill Aba,

the policemen where from 7up axis (dragon squad was boldly written on the car) they (policemen) said the goods were contraband, my dad tried to explain to them that the good were sold in the open market and was not in anyway listed as contraband goods, they demanded for the receipts, which he showed them..... they then proceeded to seize both the goods and the reciepts .....while taking both my dad and the driver to their station .......though my dad has been released with the driver and the car, but they (police men) still has the goods........... i dont know if this is right, but definitely this may lead to extortion........ so i need advice on how to go about this issue.....

NB: this happened in Aba Abia state, and the policemen are from 7up dragon squad as the call them selves

why would they seize the receipts if they are not planning to extort the poor man?,
lalasticlala please help me take this to the front page, probably their oga at the top will get to hear it...... police and their shady ways....

It is not right. Contact the State Commissioner of Police at Umuahia and copy the IG. Let him not pay a dime. He should also get the Seller involved. They are rogues.

this is very bad, its not as if those goods are banned or anything, they are just trying to extort the poor man.......... nairalanders help get this to front page....... someone connected up there might just see it........ corrupt policemen....

Moderator, help op move this to the front page as it is for national interest as a father to op, they are dependent on him for their upkeep.

Some bad police officers who tarnish the image of The Nigerian police,should not be allowed to stay in service.

Op, try google the The Nigerian Police Complaint telephone numbers and contact them immediately. They will take action ASAP.

my brother give their police ID number I will follow it up for you......in my dream

Don't pay a dime. So which of the goods is contraband? The D-iron or the conductor?
