Are there any honest police men?

Didn't you see he tagged their official link but they ignored him?


The only good policeman is a dead one. Frank was my course mate in the law school and we were close when he was the PR man in Lagos. I never failed to remind him that our friendship ended when he joined the force. I think he is still a nice guy but with that uniform on him..
Naaahhhh...i can't deal.

Whenever you see such harassment from any of the policemen or extortion and you have the opportunity to video what is happening always position your camera on his face, name and force number written on his uniform it easier to identify such police man

If any IG watches as this kind of extortion continuing unabated for so long, it is either he is complicit or incapable.

We have good cops but the bad ones get more awareness. I hope those in charge of calling those ones to order make good examples of them to put orderliness and fear in the heart of the others.

The only thing that gives the police man liver is the rifle.
if we talk one-on-one, like man to man, dem be rubbish.

that's why you'll not see a police man try to do shiit with you if he's not armed or if he's alone (without his colleague). him know wetin fit end him life.



like on Thursday that I was going home, I no know wetin happen na so I see a LASTMA official and a full-kitted MOPOL in a serious wrestling fight (this happened around Anthony Under Bridge).

if to say d MOPOL had his colleague around him, or had his gun with him, dem no born d LASTMA officer well make him do nonsense.

mumu people dey fight demselves.


Nigeria police is trash already and will continue to be a trash cos most of dem officers are cultists.
dem just join d police force in order to have a legal access to firearms, that's all.


stupid, illiterate and cursed set of people.


make government allow some of us the right to own firearms too, thats how this country go sweet.

walahi.




sorry, OP.

My name is David, On the 11th of July 2020 at around 11:50am, I was stopped by men of the Nigeria Police Force(Safer highways patrol) at the Ogori/Ageva road, Okene Local Govt, Kogi State. I was going to the market in company of a commercial motorcyclist whom I boarded his bike. When we got to the checkpoint, A police officer, ordered us to stop and requested to search my bag which I obliged.

While searching through my bag, they found a couple of drugs, precisely 4 tablets of paracetamol, 8 ferrous tablets, 10 folic acid tablets and a tablet of postpill, they ignorantly asked what the postpill tablet is used for, I told them it's a contraceptive, the officer who searched my bag obviously didn't know what a contraceptive is, I told him it is used to prevent pregnancy and next he exclaimed “Guy I don catch u, u dey use am do abortion abi”.

First, I thought it was all a joke, I laughed and started explaining all over again, before I could finish, one of the officers roughly pushed me from behind, held my trouser and ordered me to sit on the bare floor, I obeyed and tried not to be rude since they were all armed, they labeled me a a rapist and a muderer since they concluded contraceptives are used to commit abortion.

After a while, one of the officers came to me acting all friendly and asking me to negotiate with him so he can help me beg his colleagues because if I am taken to the cell at the area command I will spend nothing less than 3 days in custody asides the heavy torture I would receive. At this point, I secretly started an audio and video recording of the events.

While they kept harassing me, a woman who knows me came along and intervened, all her pleadings fell on deaf ears as the officers were insistent on taking nothing less than N100,000. At last they settled for N10,000 after all the harrasment, time waste, torture and emotional trauma. I have uploaded the video and audio recording of the incident as evidence.

I have posted it on the police PCRU twitter page, whatsapp number and even called their numbers. On whatsapp, the message has been read but no significant reply, and whenever I call their hotlines, they keep directing me to the social media pages and they don't reply. I also posted on twitter with the pictures and video evidence, but I haven't been able to garner enough retweets.

I am calling on the I.G of the Police Force, the Kogi State Commisioner of Police, all other relevant bodies and well meaning individuals to help me get justice, retrieve my money and bring this corrupt officers to book as soon as possible.

Pls Front page, I need help... Thanks


I have friends that can help you. The challenge they face is that once people get their money, they do not agree to show up in court and testify against those officers! Will you be willing to testify against those officers?

Are you sure you can buy those drugs without a prescription?? The Nigeria police force is a total disgrace when compared to world best practices. The bad eggs that ruin the image of the PF are the rank and files and until something is done to reorient and checkmate them it will continue to be a norm and life style which would be passed on intake after intake.

Your video shows nothing bro, just you mounting a bike and zooming off

You didn't watch the whole video sir... I made it in parts.. Part one to six.. All in the same YouTube channel

Most significant part is that which I uploaded on twitter

https://twitter.com/DrealGABA/status/1284194013109800960?s=19

And yes, u can get the drug without prescription, just same way u can buy a condom without prescription.

Wow! This is serious and I empathize with you.

Some bad eggs in the Nigeria Police Force will never learn. They keep soiling the name of the force with their greed and unethical behaviour.

This is no longer news, but there are laws in this country and we must ensure those laws are implemented one way or another.

However, I must commend your intellect. You have done a deligent job. It's obvious you were unnecessarily extorted and humiliated, which ought not to be the case.

From your story, it appears you are not pained about the funds those unscrupulous elements fraudulently obtained from you per say, but you are pained by the fact that they humiliated you and extorted you for no just cause.

Tag me @ mr_powei, @ segalink, @malachy_odo1, and @onlinebar.

We will see what we can do to ensure you get justice.

Sanity will return to the system when we learn to fight for our right and ensure justice is done.

I commend your effort.

But it's quite funny that members of the Nigeria Police mandated to investigate crime and criminalities don't know the difference between contraceptive and abortion drugs. Na wah.

Yahooze self dey NPF and na there e for many pass. cheesy

The govt won't weed them out for us. Since we are their employer and our taxes pay their salaries, we must ensure we sanitize the system by ourself and with our own hands.


Thanks very much sir
U understand my pains perfectly
I'll tag you ASAP
I appreciate your concerns
