This is my second time to be unlawfully arrested and taken to a police station. yesterday their defense was they heard a complaint some boys were constituting nuisance around the neighborhood so they came to perform what they call Raid. I been unlucky,I had to go get barbecue and banana around 8:30pm just to have as my dinner...I needed something light. The keke I entered on my way back I was stopped, they ask for my ID, which I didn't have on me. Buh I told them what I do for a living....just because they saw Tatoes on my hand... They put me in the back of the car along with some boys that they have already hold..I had to sleep cell for the sec time in my life yesterday.. before morning came, I gave them my statement and got bailed out by my landlady.

here are the top 7 things I observed




1) HOLD YOUR GATE FEE


you be surprised what gate fee am I talking about, are you entering a concert that wizkid and davido are performing artists with ladies twerking, no bro..it's a cell filled with lowlife criminals of different crimes.. hardened criminals..as soon as they see a fresh person about to be put inside cell.. THEY ALWAYS EXPECT YOU TO COME IN WITH MONEY. because for them survival is what they all about..and to survive they need food daily, because many of them have been abandoned there with no body coming to bail them out.

I was forced to pay #500




2) COUNTER OR INSIDE CELL YOUR POCKETS DECIDE

can you believe I was told by one slim female police clerk, that if I was to stay in the counter till day brake I have to pay #1500.
it wasn't new to me, I had only 500naira and some change left after the barbecue purchase..I pleaded with her to take it but it fell on deaf ears..some guys that came with me quickly sorted them self out and they were told to pull their bosers and sit in chair at the corner...while the rest of us who couldn't afford was taken inside cell.




3) BAil is not free

Why was I arrested? They saw me with the barbecue and banana I bought on my way home, but they still took me to the station because I had a Tatoe like who does that?.in a civilse county...I told them I was into music during my teen days, even til now, I still get called for features and mentoring.. but this police they Just didn't care to hear from me at that time....I knew they took me as a meal ticket.mthey said am a bad boy because I have a Tatoes.



4) YOUR SOCIETAL STATUS DOSENT MATTER INSIDE A NIGERIA POLICE CELL

Those hardened criminals don't care if you own 3 venzas or benz...range rover. Or if you've build an estate or operate in real estate. They just need you to maintain and follow the laid out rules.... they don't care if your a big man or not...INFACT THE MORE AJEBOYISH YOU LOOK, the weak they sense you to be. so you have to be focus, shine your eyes and behave like them.. or try to.

They say when In romans behave like the romans.



5) SENIORITY DEPENDS ON THE STRONGEST

Yes in a Nigerian cell, it doesn't matter who first came, but who is perceived as the strongest.... but the person who has been there for a week has a higher advantage than someone who just came that paid gate fee to get a place to lie down with the smell of piss and shît besides him. Why? Because no how you came in and meet 5 guys inside..those guys has already bonded since morning...gisting... telling stories and the rest. So that just came need to use your head...if not those guys will change it instantly towards you.





6) YOUR FOOD IS OUR FOOD


I DON'T think I have to explain this, is self explanatory...the cell member's has its own governing Bodies from PRESIDO TO DIFFERENT POST. so if your bail was delayed, and your people brings food for you. The right thing to do is call them to join you.. you can't just eat it Alone.
It's never done that way on my 2 experience.




7) EARLY MORNING SINGING DEVOTION


ON my 2 experience, 5am everyone is expected to wake and the morning devotion starts between all the cells in the police station trust me if it's 4 cells...the 4 cells will coordinate the morning devotins together singing praises and worship to God almighty for life...then the presido leads them in prayer.






Note: this is not to discredit the nigeria police system but for we all to come together and share and relate With our different experiences in life thanks

The way they are hardened criminals so are they innocent people who are Just arrested unjustly..

I can relate.

You dey learn quick.


If you no pay the gate fee, the hanging for you.. nor go be here.

I pray you never experience such ever again

dawnomike:
I pray you never experience such ever again

Amen my brother.

Nothing good to learn there

What happened to your barbecue and banana last last??

I remember that fateful day i was arrested with some group of weed smokers, they ran inside my room and one of the police men saw them.
Upon all the evidence i showed them,even my student ID card, that am not among them.
Even my neighbors begged and begged them, they didn't agree, they still took me to the police station and i bailed my self with 4k back then 2015.
One of them was even threatening me with a gun that i should give a statement that am a cultist,that's why i don't pity most them when ever they are killed.
Some of them are just are just naturally wicked.

I can never forget that experience

Same raid
It happened in Lagos-Ogun some years back

What's to be learnt abeg

Been to police cell once for a setup. Stayed for 2 days.
One thing i will never forget there is the toilet. It is the worst latrine there is on planet earth. The moment i tried to go and wee there, my urine went back up to my bladder. Had to wait 30mins for the policeman handling my case to call me out. I used that opportunity to pee outside. Did not even contemplate shyting. Just couldn't wait till I got out. Ever since then, I value my freedom more than anything else. I have done my best to stay out of trouble.

You no do anything and you allow them carry you go cell.


Guy you dull.

Hold your Grounds next time.

What about the toilet and bathroom, how is it like

Sorry bro.

Kindly share your first experience, I wan write novel

Besto:
You no do anything and you allow them carry you go cell.


Guy you dull

Hold your Grounds next time.

You no go understand

Eeeyah , clean your tattoos if it is drawing undue attention, we have to do all in our power to stay safe in this country

My mental health would really be affected if I get locked for just a day. Jail and Prison ain't what I wish to experience.

Besto:
You no do anything and you allow them carry you go cell.


Guy you dull.

Hold your Grounds next time.

Well, the situation and circumstance matters.

So sad you experienced that.But even in sane countries.You cannot just step out without an ID card.You can even save it on your phone.have some contacts you can always call to vouch for you.

It's smelly

Police no be your friend o

That place is the real HELL not the one in the New Testament.

Nothing comes out as fun at the Nigeria police station.
I pray to live my life till the end without going to Nigeria police cell either by mistake or not.
Though it's almost like that in every cell but Nigeria's own na worst cos you would battling both the police people and the cell boys

U were locked with hardened criminal.
Mine was not this bad, mistakes happens in my line of business, the police is called and it wasn't this bad.

MufasaLion:


Well, the situation and circumstance matters.

Once you are very clean and sure of yourself.

Shout and attract passers-by.

Them go leave you.

What a country .

Thank God say them no mend you

Taking notes

O

May God help you to move out of that Zoo to a foreign country where life is better and sweet. Someone that is hungry ,who went out to get snacks for himself, labeled a bad boy and taken to station just like that. You can see while some of us called it a Zoo! And those TERROIST in uniform are worst than demons.
