I was on my way home around 7am one rainy morning and I shuttled from Obio akpor in port harcourt to education bus stop. Something happened at the bus stop. The bus I was in was a 14 seater bus and was half filled with 7 passengers. A well kitted police man tried to enter the bus but the driver and conductor refused. Now it was raining heavily so I was not pleased with the gesture of the driver and conductor so I shouted at the driver that he should let the man in and that he had no regard for Nigerian security. But to my surprise, neither the driver nor conductor said a word they just drove away and left the man there under the rain. Not even a single passenger made a comment. No reason whatsoever from anyone in that bus.
Now, around 3:30pm, I was outside my place of residence, all of a sudden I saw 4 police men with 'e crack' written on their uniforms heavily armed walk towards a shop that was locked from inside. There is a partial lock down in this part of Port harcourt and markets are closed, but lock up shops are allowed to operate. But it surprised me that these officers, on getting to the shop, tried to pull down the steel shop gate. They even brought a large axe and tear gas just to Make the 17 year old boy who is master left him to look after the shop while he went for lunch, to open the door, because at that point the boy locked himself inside the shop deliberately. A young man named iyke soon came out from a house next to mine and I suspected he must be a relative to the shop owner. The young man tried to calm the officers down but they were only interested in breaking into the shop if the boy refuses to open it and come outside.
Do you know that while struggling with them, a sum of #6500 fell from a parcel of books that iyke was holding, but he didn't know, and one of the police men hurriedly picked it up and put it in his pocket. They chased the crowd with gun. There were 4 police men but only 3 knew of the money that was picked up from the floor.
The sales boy later opened the door and he was slapped, handcuffed and taken to an area very close to the popular ikoku junction were he was held ransom because he was asked to provide his master or call the master on phone to come to the location with #100k.
The issue concerning the money picked on the floor was raised when the master went to pick him up, 2 of the police men denied it, 1 of them agreed to it, he was the driver and youngest of them all, while the 4th person from the onset knew nothing about the #6500, he even swore with his life that he wasn't aware but that he was convinced since there were many witnesses around.
The boy was freed with #9,500. He narrated all that happened while he was in their custody that they were planning to spend the money in a brothel in diobu axis and gisted the about there type of women.

I now know why the bus driver and the conductor as well as the passengers in the bus had no pity for the police man earlier that day.

Please, is there any reason in this planet to pity the police?
