Same with me bro, to avoid stories that touch....I dey always get #100 notes in my car, not minding the fact that all my vehicle documents are in order. Once they ask me what I bring for them, na to dash them #100 , make one yeye gun totting idiot no come do me nonsense

It is very saddening to say the least. On my way to Akure, between Ibadan and the Ipetumodu bye pass, we met almost 8 check points. One wonders if they are specially recruited for this purpose.

My Experience with Nigerian Police officers on my way to PPA.
A Real Life Experience as Narrated to closest Description.

So yesterday I and my friend who are graduated from EKSU who are NYSC corpers resuming in ENUGU for Posting from Ekiti state were stopped AT A CHECKPOINT by The NPF in the bus and one of us was accused of being a fraudster (Yahoo Yahoo) cos he carried a Laptop and there was tape on the webcam.

He was first suspected cos of his Looks. One of the most insane and annoying Reasons to accuse or suspect someone for fraud.
He was separated from all the passengers and our bus was delayed for 30mins everyone had to alight from the bus.

After denying or agreeing to their forceful advise to confess to what he didn't do. The driver of the bus was asked to drop his load.
And they ordered the bus to go. After paying bus fare and our Destination was still far away imagine such cruelty.

I agreed to stay with my friend and refused to agree with their claims. His phone was Seized and denied access to any of his things. I started to make calls but MTN network was so poor in the region, we were at UDI, FRSC Enugu.

I already knew all these was a ploy to extort money from us so I kept vouching for my friend and saying I can't leave him for them to carry on their threat to take him to EFCC office for questioning Without any evidence seen or gotten from their claim, It was a very messed up situation.

After few mins his load was put in their honda car and the Police in charge said they should take him to EFCC.

My friend agreed to accompany them since they started to talk aggressively and forceful.. note: they were armed and it's early 2020. We know what I'm trying to say.

So I went to talk to the officer in command to let us know how my friend can be freed from whatever crime they said he committed, he said my friend and the two other officers would settle it in the car, that any arrangement (bribe/ Extortion) he wants to do he should settle it with them. He said if my friend had agreed to their claim and not played smart he would just leave us to go (A ploy again for us to implicate ourselves) I was so furious inside me but I kept my cool.

They took my friend and were already driving when I refused to let him go alone the oga called them and said I should go with them.
I had already updated my NYSC group chat and asked people to start calling whoever they could to help us out. The Local Gov Inspector was msgd and called, but he was not answering calls, and the corpers were already active to solve the situation we were facing.

In the car the officer asked my friend to open his phone hoping to see any evidence but he found none. They searched even his bank alert notification and were probably disappointed.

He was allowed to make a phone call after much protesting so he called his mum, and explained what happened... She requested to speak to the officer and she did. She told them we are just coming from Ekiti state and that they should check us well and if there was nothing to say we were Yahoo boys we must be released. She told my friend she would start to make calls... That must have scared them.

We both kept our story straight and telling them that we are not fraudsters and by now they would have seen or gotten what they wanted. I explained that I was a photographer and A PR/ influencer and that our dressing or gadgets is not evidence of us as Yahoo boys. My friend also explained to them that he was a computer science graduate and webcams are usually hacked that's why the webcam was covered. By then they had driven us 20 mins away and passed their Police station already when they said we would pay 100,000 to clear ourselves that we have hidden all the evidence. Such bullshit!!! We told them they'll have to kill us to get the 100k that we came to Enugu to get cleared for the allowance from Fed govt.

The officer driving called the oga and spoke their dialect, I was sure he was saying that the ploy or operation was not successful and that we weren't Yahoo boys they wouldn't get any big payday money from us either ways. So I'm sure he was instructed to return, The car was turned around and we headed back to the checkpoint the Oga was waiting.

Well they got tired I guess and the Oga started to say that we must pay for the fuel in their car since we wasted their time... wow another stunner. Inside life.. I thanked God that my thinking and Jasi was like a marlian...

My friend paid 3,000 as bail/fuel money that's what they called it we were released. All this had happened and then calls started to come in. The LI called me to ask what was happening, I was just furious cos his call came in Late after all had happened. I just replied we had been released. He didn't even ask any more questions he just dropped the call. Mtcheewww.
My friend was pissed and frustrated. A bus was stopped for us and we boarded and left.

It's sad how things like this keep happening daily and in the face of the Government and
Top Officials of the Nigerian police force.
Unapproved Checkpoints of which the main purpose is not carried out.
- Unlawful stop and search of passengers based on appearances,
- - checking of people's phones without warrant or real evidence that the owner is a fraudster or Yahoo whatever.
- Brutal assault to unarmed citizens and youths without cause.
The List goes on and on. Something need to be done. And whoever is ready to do the right thing should start with the little they can do.

Your suggestions are welcomed.

How are you sure they are not kidnappers

Onozboy:


Sharap
English is a borrowed language

you for type with your own language Na. I know eksu boys to be sensible. Please don't prove me wrong.

martowskin1:


When u know the kind of country u live in, if they shoot u, nothing will happen. They can still easily frame u up and u go to jail, no one will prove ur innocence.

Don't u think it will be smart to avoid things that make them put eyes on u?

Take the crazy hair out , stop carrying ur laptop about.

This is Nigeria not America..... Things can move from 0 to 100 real fast

Exactly what I told my son to avoid embarrassment when he started wearing coiled hair. Thank God he immediately complied.

The police is your friend

quirus:


Pick the log from your eyes first.

Have you checked your dictionary lately? You need to do it often.

hope the dictionary has paid off for you. Your life don better abi?

mekuxiani:

How are you sure they are not kidnappers

Good question from a police nairalander inspite of daily reports of their atrocities.

Try and drive from Ibadan to Adoekiti via Efon Alaye and you will wonder whether we are at war considering the sheer no of police checkpoints on that route....my own advice...find your way out of this country if you want to live long

Are there much check points in other parts of the country? Could it be that crime rates are low in the SW is why they are so free to have check points every 3km to 5km OR they have chosen to abandon their primary responsibility?

At any given instance u r facing any member of the police
Rule nos 1 wether u are charged for any offence or not
fucking cram the nos on their chest thats how you can get
Justice after sorting them out

portharcourt to owerri had up to 20 checkpoints when I passed during the Christmas season

uboma:

I won't advice this... Nigeria police are nasty and heartless criminals.

If you make a transfer to them and a debit alert comes on your phone displaying your balance, if it's close to or above six figures they won't mind kidnapping you and demanding more transfers.

The best is to give them cash, then try and cram at least one of them's number tag and report to relevant authorities.

Grupo:


Same with me bro. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

I swear even, I make sure everything I get for house has receipt too.. i no dey even wear attractive clothes like That( like heavy disigner).. I no dey go joints , hangout with many friends.. Nigeria is not safe again .. if I see money, I dey japa forever

Accusing people of crimes the are innocent of and extorting them reveals the height of decay in the force.

The checkpoints in the South East is on another level. Mopol, regular police, SARS, Army, civil defence, customs, immigration, narcotics(ndlea). It's just as if we are in a cage

Instead of giving the Nigerian Police cash, insist on doing an electronic transfer to their bank account. This way, one has evidence to nail them.

They aren't fools, they would rather drive you to a nearest ATM and ask you to withdraw the cash for them. this happened to a friend of mine at Olorin few years when he was stopped FSARS. those people are rubbers in uniform.

CHAI....see graduate with poor constructed English. Op am sure you finished with a pass in that school. Anyways sorry for your encounter.
