I have a secret video recorder app on my phone
It records without the flashlight on, also without any form of notification or u can choose to use a decoy icon for notification. During and after recording, ur video is encrypted, it can't be found in your gallery, only u can choose where you want the video hidden. U can also choose the video quality. Good thing is that it keeps recording even when your phone is in idle mode, on lock or when the back light is off.. U can also choose which of the camera u want to use, if u would prefer the front or back camera.
biko what's the name of the recorder app?

Sorry about your ordeal bro.i hope you get justice fast.

It is settled law that once a public officer ultra vires his/her statutory duties, he/she can no longer take cover under the relevant Public Officer Protection Act/Laws.

We as masses can therefore come together and start filing actions against erring members of the force in their official and personal capacity.

Once we get judgement, we can go after their pension contributions, salary account and other official remuneration inclusive of their personal properties.

This will send a very strong message to them. We need to wake up, stand up and fight for our right.

Social media campaign is no longer working. Class actions and mass actions will send a very strong message.

May God keep you. My in-law narrated her experience today at the hands of ecrack team today, she is a learner driver with valid permit, driving with her hubby when ecrack swopped on them saying they had no right to drive on the main road .

After showing them the learners permit and hubby drivers license, they proceeded to lock at vehicle papers and queried the papers saying that the color indicated is custom, they got angry when the husband asked them if custom is a color and wanted to bundle him in front of his wife.

These outfits need to regulated, they re supposed to fight cultists and hardened criminals not helpless women. They have no name tags , they used unmarked vehicles how do you know whether they re not kidnappers.

You just sounded dumb. Its like asking a lady why she should be found with a condom. Which of the laws says contraceptives are only preserves of the ladies. Cant a man take them along for the lady? You have the mentality of those policemen, are you one? I suspect you are.

You're an id1ot, but then I'm not surprised cos according to your own signature you're delirious.

If OP had no sinister motive why did he pay pay a bribe of 10K when he should have stood his ground.

how is that your business? Last month, when I went to the shoprite I bought postinor 2 for my girlfriend. So if police had seen me with it they would have tagged me a rapist and you would have asked me what I was doing with it?

Stop making an exhibit of your ignorance in public.

Just in case you do not know a police man has a right to ask you what you're doing with medication if you have it in your possession without a valid prescription

Anytime you're travelling to Europe or the Americas put a satchet of Postinor 2 in your pocket because it's your right; you will come back here and tell us your experience with customs on the opposite end

Are u normal? Learn how to talk even when on social media... Do u knw how many important things I had to catch up with on that day? Aside that, u expect me to argue with an illiterate officer who sat me on the floor, removed his rifle from safety mode and threatened to shoot if I utter a word?...

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.


I've been seriously considering relocating to Nigerian after 20 years in Canada,stuff like this is very discouraging .Police brutality in Nigeria is way more than what we have here

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.



Thank you very much. You are always ready to extend a helping hand...

The op should heed these.

Were you carrying condoms? No

What you were carrying were contraceptives and a police officer who is on stop and search operations especially in a place like Kogi state where there is a proliferation of narcotics is well within his rights to ask you what the drug is used for.

I do not support the act of extorting money from you but that does not change the fact that they have a right to ask you what the drug is used for!

Most of the people supporting you here including myself will ask what the drug is used for if they saw it cos they're not medical professional and therefore would not know the purpose of the drug
