e serious o, they actually transfer implicating stuffs themselves to those big phones

SciLab:
Few years ago, I was in Owerri to attend a wedding. I couldn't drive down because my car had slight issues.

While walking down to Ikenegbu junction from prisons, a siena bus pulled over and the police guys asked me for my phone. I asked them why, one of them started barking at me and threatening to shoot.

I handed the phone to them and told them I'm ready to follow them to the station. I assured them that I will provide all the details they need at the station. When we got to the station at the area command, I was about to be put behind the counter with some other guys when the AC drove in with his details.

I summoned courage and greeted the AC like I knew him before, I introduced myself as a human right member of the PCRC, JDPC and Amnesty International to spark his interest. I told him that I'm under illegal detention by some of his boys who are on illegal duty which I am sure he didn't ask them to do. I also presented my I.D card as a medical professional.

The man sensing serious petitions flying right, left and centre invited me to his office, during the chat, the AC ordered that I be released but I told him his boys also took N70,000 cash from me which I was supposed to donate at the wedding of my good friend who was also a human right officer and a member of the Nigeria Army medical corps. No money had been taken from me yet but I wanted the bastards to pay for wasting my time.

The police guys denied and swore heaven and earth, but I maintained that the money was taken from me and shared and I must have it back. The AC ordered that they produce the 70K within 30mins and return my phone, else they face whatever comes out of the case, that he is awaiting his promotion and will sacrifice them if need be.

That money was provided with surprising speed and my phone given to me. They must have extorted it from the other guys I guess.

But I left that station N70,000 richer. I spray money for that wedding like say tommorow no dey.

This SARS thing is more prevalent in the South eastern part of the country.

CONFAMA:


EFCC has joined them too. Their own is even worse. I was one of the people kidnapped by EFCC at club 360 in Ibadan this January. Despite having nothing on me, they incarcerated me for 3 days and held my phones for almost two months.

showafrica:


To avoid them, just cut hair low, dress well and use a normal private car like Toyota. If you must use public TP, dress like a jew man or a pupper. They assault people, thats how low it has become.

SciLab:


Na so na.

I no dey joke with my I.D cards o. I learnt a lot from my dad who is also senior JDPC and PCRC official.

Every Police sef get Oga. Na who know know.

Even the police sef don dey wise. Once you agree to follow them to the office without argument. They will want to know who you really are, so they can cut their losses and prevent gbege right there at the spot.

I won’t lie you. I am just holding on because I want my wife to finish her youth service so that we can relocate to Ghana and start afresh. I plan on traveling there to buy a house there in a nice and conducive place. Nigeria isn’t a safe place for the common man anymore despite no single basic amenities from the govt. it’s a shame, it’s a big shame. I cannot bring up my kids in this kind of nation. God forbid! My advice to you is trying and belong to a human right organization or better still go to any Barrack around you and apply to be a Mess member. Police people will see you like a plague and stay away from you. Thank me later

odimbannamdi:


Please help suggest some notable ones i could be a voluntary member of, along with their registration process. I actually work in organization that works with some NGOs to deliver certain projects, but most of them are centred around gender-equality, domestic violence and child abuse. None related to human rights.

Kindly assist, make these SARS boys for no use me or my family member shine one day. God forbid sha

Owerri1stSon:
It all started yesterday, 14th or March when I was heading to a burial at around 11am.

My longtime class mate's Mom died, so I really needed to attend that burial since it was over 8 years since I saw him back in Abuja and now I am in IMO State, and since they are coming to IMO State for their Mom's burial, I deemed it necessary to attend that burial.

Besides, we were family friends aside being in same sec. school.

I alighted at fire service in owerri, and decided trekking to the burial which is not far from the road when a SARS officer called me and was like I should give him my phone.

I wanted hesitating but while he was talking, I noticed that he just finished smoking ibo with one of those strong drinks, so I didn't want trouble or what might lead to another, I had to give him the phone.

He started checking my phone;

*He checked all my pictures from a—z but couldn't find anything.

He went to hangout and checked it but it wasn't even activated

He asked me what so many gmails were doing in my phone? That if I know the implications of many gmail in my phone, I will decide to settle with him there.

I was like WTF? Gmails? I use them in case of any online registration but he said I am "A YAHOO BOY."

I told him to to check all gmails and see if there was any yahoo message or any message that would indict me, he refused and asked me to follow him to the station.

The station was very closed by.

There he took me and handed me to some SARS officers there and was like 'This is is one of them"

There, I met other 21 innocent guys too then I knew my case was about to start.

They gave my phone to an officer who checked phones to know if guys are doing "Yahoo or Not" and when he checked my phone, he was like what is google translator doing in my phone? That I am a suspect. Just like that?

I was like sir, check those google translator and if you see any sentence that relate to yahoo, you can arrest me, he said so far I had "Google Translator" in my phone, I am a suspect..

I told them that I was attending a burial before I was called, that even if the want to hold the phone till I come back, they should cause I can't miss this, they told me to shutup.

I tried explaining to an elderly police man, what I got was a slap from him, shouting that I am a suspect, I am foolish, this and that.

I was with other innocent guys there for over 4-5 hours before my phone was pickup to be checked again.

I called them innocent because I was there when their phones where equally checked and upon finding nothing on their phones, they still arrested and wanted putting them in cell. 4 of them had to bail themselves for 24k each.

I wanted attending a burial around 11am and now, this is 4:20pm I was still with them.

My phone was recheck maybe after seeing that I ain't giving them nothing or any sort of money, they gave it back to me and allowed me to go..

I was thinking of suing them most especially the elderly man for slapping me just because I was trying to explain things to him

This stuff just made me hated Nigeria more and more.

The Police Station in Owerri, behind Fire service is a total mess.

The police/sars there are armed robbers and thieves, please, this should be checkmated.

I believe they always give them target and commission for bring guys.

They get paid if any of the guys bails themselves.

They extort illegally!!!

MansoryMX:


I do not give out my number so I will follow you. I will get in touch with our secretary to get information about Navy Mess in Ibadan. And get back to you

harakiri:


Oga...leave that thing...these ppl will molest you even if you dress as a pope so long as they are sure of extorting at least N1,000 from you.

Until these guy start getting burnt on the streets like arm robbers which they are, govt will do nothing. Taking the cowards way out to avoid them will change nothing. For goodness sake there is NO single difference BTW them are kidnappers/robbers.

Why is this generation an abysmal failure?

greggng:



In as much as I don't like the idea of detaining innocent people but your decision to have multiple Gmail account is unacceptable ...and they might be right to classify u as one of Yahoo boys. I can't imagine myself having more than one Gmail account ...worst case you may 've more than two e-mail account but different domain i.e. Yahoo,

showafrica:


In this internet age you are saying this..? I have 7 gmails account and they all serve one purpose or the other. I wont give out my personal gmail account to jamb or waec or any public service for security reasons hence multiple accounts.

MansoryMX:


Which town and State do you live in?

BeerParlour:


What is ibo?

Why can't you call it weed or other name it is?
You claimed to come from Imo State but call weed/marijuana ibo.

Most of the people call guff

Mumu

SenecaTheYonger:


Those guys that were extorted, do you have their contact?
