I understand the stress the OP must have gone through as I had been unfortunate to have been stopped sometimes ago in front of the Officer's Mess in Marina. The guys who were in plain clothes claimed to be policemen from Adeniji-Adele. I showed them my company's ID card and the company Asset tag on the laptop. This guys still insisted to take me to their station. I decided to call my company's security control room from where they decided to send some Mobile Police to the point. It was then that the guys started arguing on whether I should be left to go. I was afraid because i had gone against the company policy of never moving around with the company assigned laptop without being in a company's car.
I had thought I could quickly dash to the bank from the hotel i was staying in Victoria Island (I had came in from Port Harcourt for a few days work on a project) by riding an "okada". I was on the "okada" when I was stopped. This was on a monday morning.
I have had colleagues who had been stopped while on "okada" and searched by these unscrupulous policemen and I have had several run-ins with the Police that should make anyone bitter.
However, I think we Nigerians should do away with this our attitude of always blaming the country for the acts of a few bad people.
The difference between us and other countries' citizens is that they do not blame their countries for the problems caused by their fellow countrymen and women.
While I believe the OP has the right to be bitter against any country he so wishes, he should rather channel his bitterness to the perpetrators of this atrocity on his person and not Nigeria the country.

Thank God that you came out 5 hours leter. My experience in naija at yaba one morninig kept me thinking,   and I had this resolution that Nigeria is  an "hopeless" country. sorry if I sound too negative, but that is the truth! mayb for now. I wait to see the change soon,

I finished my engineering degree in one of the Nigeria useless university without job.  One morning, I was walking along yaba area trying to look for where to fix my glasses along the road. Suddenly, a Bus -  commercial bus - packed very close to where I was standing and a group of guys came out from the Bus and order me to go inside that they are Police office. I refused, untill I was shown their Police ID. I entered the bus, hoping that they will tell me my offence. I was thinking my offence  maybe that I was fixing my pair of glassses with those guys along the road not using a registered Optian, so I planned to tell them that I was unemployed so I can afford the consultant fee of an optomologist or optian. Inshot I teck to Yaba that day,

Alas, that was not my offence. I was told to show my ID, which I did   showing my National ID. Then they collected my wallet, searching for only God knows what! I have alot of Busiiness contact  card inside my wallet. I have only the money I wanted to use to get the glasses fix. The Bus was still moving all this time,  I guess the Driver is not a police officer.



In the Bus I meet some other guys. We were all taken to the  Police barrack at somewhere in surulere. At the station,  the police officers are giving all of us our offences.  Guys please my u na follow me hear offences

One guy was told that because his laptop has no receipt, means that he is a Yahoo Boy, another guy among us was told that since he is a student of Unilag, that he should be in school at that time why was he in Yaba, that it either he is a pick pocket or fake money changer,   alot of offencees like that I can really remember again. I was just laughing! Yes there was one guy charge for carry Black sack,  na when I hear this I canot control my laughter again.

Mine was that ,  during the time one of the police was checking my wallet, they found a small  broken rusted blade.  I  cannot even remember how it got there, it  was rusted, shows that it has being there for long.  so I was charge for light weapon carrier, guys at this time I was laughing so loud, I was laughing at the failure of Nigeria system,  You need to see the way the officers were saying it,  You are charge for  CARRING LIGHT WEAPON, each time I ask which weapon?, they would show me the rusted broken blade, i would laugh so loud!

Others paid to gain their fredom, and when they saw that I was just catching fun with them, they have to let me go, but I was just laughing at Nigeria as a  country.

what is the point telling us all what we know and what we see daily?

What will all these talk come to? OP. whats our business if they cut your head into their pot of soup?

You know where to complain to, not here on Nairaland - all these will be forgotten when someone starts another topic that says "Patience Dame Jonathan" wears boxer shorts to Church" .Do you think these talks has any effect? Shut the f up.

Y'all open una 32 and speak ras against the police. Go to their barracks for once and see where they live, take time to go and see where this people live and ask yourself, if you as a human being can live where they live, and these are the people you want to protect your lives and property. Policemen die on duty daily in Nigeria - killed and fell on the line of duty, how much do they get when they die on duty? 50k only. These people need your prayers and fight for them to be treated better by society not for a gathering of tired brains on the web to constitute themselves into judge and jury and speak rubbish against them.

Necxt time you research the problem of the Nigerian policeman, even when he asks you for 20Naira, you will gladly offer him 40Naira instead. The problem is deep rooted, they have a grouse with the same society they are supposed to look after, why, because the same society has failed to provide them with what they need to make them work better. Take time from your busy schedule tmrow, go around Lagos police barracks and see if you wont ask yourself if these are the people that we expect to protect our lives and property. Noone is justifying the ills of the Naija police, but, look, what you give is what you get.

^^you're always trying so hard to come across as intelligent but i've got to be honest,i've never seen a more id!otic person in my life.& i'm sure you know what you're posting is stup!d,asinine & !c but somehow you just can't stop

^^You'd maq more sense if only you dropped all these 'Cold said' 'this said' 'that said'.It's getting repititive,tiring and old

Do they harass women carrying laptops too or they only focus on men? I haven't read any female complaints yet.

O.J Onuh:

The naija police force is a disaster, amongst the various forces including civil defense, the police force is the less educated and disciplined force in the country. I wish the police force is disband and at least these other forces are drafted to police the country till a well organised police is constituted for the nation. The problem with the police force is not funding or lack of equipment per say. It is pure lack of intelligence from the IG through the various ranks. The worst unit in the police force is the CID unit. This unit is the pivot of any police in the world but in naija this unit is a big disgrace and embarrassment to the nation. Just check those that call themselves IPOs i doubt if there is a secondary school leaver there let alone a graduate. Policing goes beyond training to handling guns, it goes to understanding the duties of the police and most especially when arrest can be made. The notion in the police force is that they are duty bound to protect the elite or wealthy and wait for us to make complaint of a crime that had already taken place. And in prosecuting cases the police merely work base on the complaint of the complainant without investigation the veracity of the complaint before making arrest. With the level of education and intelligence of the naija police even if their salaries are increased 10 times and patrol vans distributed to them it will still be the same thing. The police force is so rotten that only a disbandment is the answer. This also apply to NEPA of PHCN (just a change in nomenclature) and NNPC. These organs are too vital to the development of the nation.
