way back during my sojourn at auchi polytecnic, there was this guy in the same off camp hostel we were always together.
we go to classes, movements, party and every other packages together, we were and still bro's from different mum.

it happened that he had to leave his elder sis as he was only putting up with his sister till he gets his own apartment, he got his and moved in in the second semester of his first year.
there was a time there was a confraternity stress so i had to relocate to this guy's house for some time till streets gete calm.

in my first night at this guy's house, 4 a.m in the morning we heard a thunderous knock on the door, o boy, my heart don japa reach sudan in two seconds.
due to the stress in town we normally wear shoes to bed just in case of incasity, i don jumped up.
i did all the nesecity to mount guard, before i know another bang on the door but this time accompanied by a jezebelic tiny female voice ''wey this boy wey dey pack arm robbers come sleep for my house'', my heart immediately calm after hearing the female voice, it was the landlady.
she was mad the tenant brought someone to his room.
we opened the door, i was unusually calm that day, landlady don enter room dey shout, 'emma, i dey give you quit notice immediately, this is too much, you bring all manner of people to my house, if you no bring ashawo you go bring armrobbers'

i was not surprised because wacko landlords and landladies are as common as the buildings in auchi.
so we tried our best to calm her down so she could leave and we needed to avoid crowed or any form of awareness by all means, after every every, madam left and vowed she will do something drastic if i stay for one night more.
me not wanting to leave the compound for some reasons chose to tow the peace path, 10 in the morning, i don cook better rice and chicken sauce, i took a portion of the food and a chicken lap and a criminally cold soft drink to give the landlady.

a real wako woman, she rejected the food by saying there may be poison in the food, despite all the pleading mama no carry food o, i pleaded with her that i want to stay with my friend for just one week that i am having issues with my roomate.
she told me, honestly if she had seen my face earlier she wouldn'nt have acted the way she did that i look innocent and honest, from there we were at 'peace' with each other.

there were about six rooms in her compound for students, there is hardly a single day she doesnt fight nor quarrel with at least one tenant.
there is this particular chubby tenant, nancy.
landlady complains that nancy is too fat and eats too much that it was only until nancy came to her house that the soakaway pit got filled up for the first time since she built the house.

so after like eight days in this house i did all my best to avoid her, she had a fight with nancy, many tenants sided nancy because the embarrassment and body shaming was too much, the painful thing be say this landlady fat pass this nancy o.
so the woman took offence that other tenants supported nancy and started shouting and alledging that her tenants are all planning to kill her.
in her own words ''see these evil children that i am taking care of as my own kids are ganging up against me''.

the next morning i was washing my teeth at around 8 when two plain dressed police men walked to me in the compound, that time landlady don sharply comot for house early mormor.
they told us that the landlady had gone to report to them at the police station that her tenants are threatning her life.
that was the first time in my life i was seeing a nigerian police wearing a perfum, they were very neatly dressed, professional and they asked us to come to clear our names at the station.

due to the professionalism of the police and the way the tenants were assured that there is nothing erious that all they need to do is just to come to the station and clear their names and that all.
5pm all the tenants don gather and ready to go ''clear their name' for police station.
i never thought of going, in fact i persuaded my guy not to go to the police station at all knowing the cunny ways of police but he said he needed to be there and pleaded i follow him too.

we got to the station, feeling fly, all dressed neatly and beautifully thinking say na RnB and Blues kind of disscussion and 'clearing of name' we came to do at the station, we no know say na better atilogo dance we come meet o.
we were asked to write statements and we did but last last police don dey change tone, we started hearing stuffs like ''this threat to life allegation no be small matter, una go need to defend una self for court o'' , ''make una call una people o because this kind matter no be wetin una go fit handle'' ''i no sure say una go fit go back today without resolving this matter o'
na from here i realise say my fowl don lay cook egg.

those friendly policemen of in the morning don turn beast just now just now for police station o.
one of the girls was mercilessly beaten for runner her mouth too much.
to cut long story short, 8 of us, three girls and 5 guys were detained that day, like play like play me and my guy don spend three nights for police station o.
the third day, my guy's dad who's a local politician came to bail us.

that was the first time i was staying more than a night in a police cell.
it was three days in the dark because morning or night, the cell is always dark.
few days upon our release i started having fear for darkness and nights, my heart starts pounding fast once it's getting dark.

God bless the Landlady for opening your eye

i grew up in the streets of benin, being arrested by police just be like 'good morning' to us.

My dear police are unprofessional in there job
There concern is to arrest more people so the bail money go plenty

Your story would have been better and more interesting if you spent a week or 2

You need to go back for more experience

@ bolded, you now see where the frustration comes from...

your landlady is a depressed lady which uses those trouble she causes to vent her inner pains.. she's lonely and depressed.. no one to talk to her, no one to soothe her pain.. she has no kids, so she doesn't know how it feels like treating other people or someone's kid, that's why she's bitter... you see ehn, lack of partner and attention makes women go crazy... this is why women like that turn to frustrated feminists online saying all men are scum... until you get close to one of them and let them open up to you, you'll never know...

women can't do without men, no matter how hard they try to form independent boss bitch... a woman will only turn to frustrated feminist only if she doesn't find a man...

@ op, prison is never a funny experience most especially for those who have had life on a soft lane... I had a friend whom couldn't walk properly till today because he was wrongly accused by someone..

the police men damaged his knee with their baton... most of them are animals in disguise.. devils!! they will torture you till you confess to what you didn't do.. it is sad things like this happen daily... this is why sometimes I don't give a damn when they face insults or domestic abuse from civilians... it might be their karma..

baba if you like spend one million nights for FBI and rikers island , prison is not a place to be proud of.
one thing i learnt late in life is avoiding troubles at all cost even if it will take you to play the fool.
since i learnt this i have escaped a lot of police, effcc,dss and sars wahala.
we were just kids when we started going to police station to give our elder relatives that are police customers food in police cell, what i saw as a kid at oregbeni police station made me swear that police will never arrest me in my lifetime.
and lastly, if you know you have so many interesting encounters with security operatives you can make money from it by writing about them and compiling them into a book.

wahala, ex convits are people that are tried and convicted by the law court.
legally, is is illegal to keep a suspect in a police station cell for more than 24 hours without being charged to court.

How d mosquitoes be?

Inside one cell wey I dey familiar with, if d mosquito perch on u, u will think it's a butterfly

Very black n thick

You said one thing you learnt late in life is avoiding trouble at all costs.
But you just looked for my trouble with the uncouth ways you replied me.
You could experience another 3 night in cell with your comments you know.
