Yeah, once though but was as funny as f**k. Remember my dad and his tenant using me like a boy cause they can't settle as men. Had to really shake the table for them to take note. The stupid tenant a pastor, running a church with the warehouse reacted but I warned him . Dude had to nerve to throw me a challenge which I took. Long story short I racked havoc on his church was apprehended by SWAT only to call the pastor and make peace just to evict him after getting the release grin
dude calm down, type the story all over..we no understand..and are u still planning to update the funny part?

When we got to their station, they asked me if I have any last words or will I would like to write that I've been marked for death. Later one came in and told them to take me to the stake and shoot that fresh detainees would be arriving tomorrow and they don't need us. I cry taya that day. They sha released me after my uncle paid 50k.

I went out with a nairalander to work as she has been telling me she's broke so I told her to accompany me to a job my friend called me to do for him.
Do you know this nairalander stole a very costly equipment and disappeared putting me in trouble.
I was asked to produce her, I was then arrested.
Since then I've not seen her again though she's a regular member of this forum.

Mine was long ago. I was working in Benin city Airport. One guy who was friend to my boss, sells laptop. I told him i needed a laptop. The guy had another friend of his who also sells laptop too. They were both in the electronics business. Usually, he would asked the younger siblings of this his friend to steal there brother's laptops and bring it to him, that he will send them abroad since there brother refuse to help them. They have stollen several laptops to him and he had sold them promissing them visa and all that. Unknown to me, he will bring these two boys to the airport, they will seat in one corner and be pointing at me that i'm the one that is processing there visa and that very soon, they will be out of the country. So the two boys kept stealling there brothers laptop to this criminal minded guy. So, when i told him i needed laptop, he brought one. I paid in full, N110k. Two days latter, they caught the boys. Immediately, they went after this guy, and those boys said there is one guy in the airport that is processing there visa who he gave one laptop. Fortunately for me that very day, i was off duty. The police called me and asked me to bring the laptop to the station and for questioning. Fortunately for me again, the guy they have been stealing laptop from came to the station and said he doesn't have this kind of laptop brand they sold to me. But before he came to indentify the laptop, they had already asked me to remove my trousers. Only Boxers was on my waist. The floor was sticky. I met the guy that sold the laptop inside the cell too. He was so calm as if nothing was happening. My boss came around, spoke to one or two persons b4 they released me that same day at about 7.30pm after about 5-6hrs. It was not funny guys.

Please be mindful of that cool guy that comes around and play with everyone, even buy lunch for u sometimes. I'm speaking to someone right now.

Mine was in1992 when I went to see a friend at Ajao Estate, near Lagos International airport, Ikeja. So as I was going to my guy's street an old Mercedes Benz car stopped by my side suddenly and one of the men inside came out and sprayed my face with tear gas and they bundled me inside the car. Before I know what was happening, I was at the Ajao Estate police station. All I heard was this is one of the armed robbers that just robbed chief, I said I am not a thief. So I waited for a while and after my eyes have cleared the woman police at the counter said I should write a statement to implicate myself that I was the gang leader. I said no I won't write anything. Before I could say Jack Robinson, the lady officer wrote a statement on my behalf and she gave to me to sign, I said no. She informed the DPO who came ordered that I be put in the cell. That's how I was put in the cell ooo for 24 hours till the next day. Luckily for me, my friend that I was going to visit, his father came to the police station and he was a senior army officer. Upon sighting the man I started shouting from the cell,calling his name and his son's name who is my friend. The man heard the voice and came to check the person calling him. He knows me quite well. So he asked what brought me to the police station. I narrated my ordeal so he angrily summoned the DPO and DCO as well as the IPO to come and release me immediately. When I came out from the cell, I saw the DPO and DCO pleading with him to calm down. It wasn't easy at oo. To cut the story short, the DPO put me in his own car and drove me home begging me to forget what happened. DPO gave me 15k to go to hospital to take care of myself. That experyis what I will never forget. Police is not your friend oo

Not at all. I am not that stupid. There are educated members of the armed forces (some even travel overseas for courses) BUT their are many illiterate once (their are officers that their hands would be shaking if you give them pen to write their own name). These men that can't handle a pen are usually the once handling a rifle while high on drug/alcohol.

90% has been social conflict (someone got the police involved or a police is the trouble maker).

I can't even narrate one story here because it would require a lot of write to get the full picture of what led to the arrests.

Hmmmm

I don't know if I should call this one "arrest or invitation or excursion"

What happened was that the vigilante in our off-campus hostel area banned movement from 6pm because some goats went missing

We students won't abide by such rule as free Nigerians and this resulted into a free for all fight one evening because they actually beat one of us who was returning from watching a football match around 7pm.

They threatened us with guns and we retaliated with stones

When the news got to the student affairs, they called in the police and when the police arrived, they rounded up every student in that fight arena and took us to the station in patrol vehicles.

Most of us were in underwears.

They put us in the DCO's office and that's where we passed the night. It was inconvenient.

We didn't write any statement.
They said they were protecting us.

The following morning they returned us to the hostel in the same patrol vehicles because a number of us had tests to write.

The vigilantes never bothered us after the incidence and we didn't bother them too

never but it my be this week because i did printing of burial sovenir for a woman for the fisrt time here in Abuja and she wanted not to pay my balance when she came to pick her items, she was giving irrelivant escuse and she wanted to go with with them without paying my balance, as omo street boy i be with our 2024 slogans #NoGree4Anybody but later she cutted 5k out of the 45k balance paid me 40k which i curse her follow as she was going, she even told me that if she hold gun she could have shoot me but this morning she sent me a treat message on my attahed picture

Donkogbe:
Around 2021 while in school, a phone was missing in my apartment and all effort to get the device proof abortive untill someone said they suspected my friend and due to highness I said I will monitor him if I see any strange things or move and the next thing they said was "I said he stole the phone" hin no funny oo.

THe owner went to call gangs and they beat my guh up but I was untouchable because of my physical look then. (I dey gym) my friend did not believe me and the next day he went to the police station to report and I was called to come to the station. I was detained but was freed after 3hrs and the foolish girl have to sleep in the cell.

That was the first time I will enter cell. I don learn my lesson since then not to ever put mouth for wetin no concern me and one advice I will give anyone is never to rent a room face me I slap you house. it more like digging your grave and mental health.

Sometimes incidents like this stick in the mind and hurt it whenever one remembers the story. I can only imagine how it feels for a police offer to threaten a detainee for that matter with shooting him. What a horrible system.

Mine was in May 2021. Police officers from the FCID Abuja tracked me arrested me on the orders of the former SSA to president Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu. I was arrested for cyber bullying, threat to life and sponsorship of terrorism. The reason being that I sent an SMS to his direct mobile line warning the government of the mass killings going on in the land which were as a result of their ineptitude, cluelessness, inefficiency, rudderlessness and ethnic jingoism. That very soon the killings would get to their door steps. Pronto, I was tracked, arrested, detained and released after eight days at the Force CID Headquarters.
