Saraki , Rochas were both humiliated several times before us

DamnnNiggarr:

Is there any amended law(s) that granted the police force that power?

DamnnNiggarr:
Do police have the jurisdiction to demand nor ask for driver's license?

I was highly frustrated today, while I was on my way rushing to an event to meet up with the 10:00 AM deadline for the event which I was also the chairman, a group of some fiercely-looking police officers flagged down my vehicle and I slowed down.

One of the officers came towards my vehicle, ordered me to come out from the car and started demanding for my driver's license. I was like, what is going on?

In as much as I am aware that police officers have taken it upon themselves to be asking people for their vehicle particulars, which is a good way of tracking stolen cars, they asked for it and I provided it, but asking people for their driver's license is what I think is out of the picture.

I tried to exercise my right as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by briefly dragging it with them initially, which I think this issue of police asking for driver's license had raised dust sometime ago, but I realized that I'm still in Nigeria, last last, I settled with 5k, this is with abeg o, after several hours and minutes had gone by, I arrived the event place by 01:15 PM, an event slated for 10:00 AM.

like I said earlier, asking for car particulars from people by the police is good, but asking for driver's license is where I think the issue lies. I thought anything that has to do with checking of drivers license is strictly under the jurisdiction of the FRSC?

I'm feeling nothing but anger and cheated which gave rise to many questions going through my mind;
Who gave the police officers the jurisdiction to be asking for driver's license?
Is there any amended law(s) that granted the police force that power?

MrDoGood:
Next time, just park, smile, commend them for doing great job (they know say na lie sha, just praise them),

Then ask if they want to check papers or make you gift them small thing?

As far as your papers are correct, you have no issue. NO dey frown at them as if you guys have pending issues

People like you form tigers here in Nigeria, you are docile as kittens abroad. You will even add " Yes Sir, Good morning" when the guy doesn't greet you.

The bribe is what they shouldn't ask for. But yes, they are within their rights to flag you down.

Reminds me of the idiot that ran a security checkpoint because he said he was on his way to Germany and was shot. In Germany, I am 100% he wouldn't have done something that daft.

Lukepeter:

Clearly he doesn't na why he pay 5k, which means he has also enjoyed from the corrupt system which he criticises.

4ward4:
Yes, just to correspond the papers with the DL.
All is for your good and a sane society, because tomorrow your car might get stolen and the thief , will definitely have some question to answer once both names aren't same. You will be called upon,as all vehicles papers carries owners numbers.

DamnnNiggarr:
I was just asking questions to learn.

I didn't know until now that police could ask someone for driver's license, because my over 10 years of driving, police has never asked about my driver's license, but they do ask about my car particulars steady.

Oga .....
Police can ask for your license under the random stop and search policy as a means of identifying yourself and to link you to the ownership of the car...... u could be driving a stolen vehicle.....

ppogba:


Your first statement is correct but for the second, it is not a must that the DL must align with the vehicle's papers.

It's not my fault that your IQ is microscopic and can't make you understand a basic message.

Only a very stupid person like yourself . will still argue the obvious. Your inferiority complex is none of my business. Blame your dad or God for giving you little to work with.

But if and when you choose to misbehave, some of us here will volunteer to cure your lack of hometraining.

advanceDNA:


I never said it must align with vehicle papers..
Na u dey assume wetin you like....

ppogba:


What if the DL does not correspond with the car papers?

Please only say what you know.

4ward4:


Further questions will be asked , car might be seized and owner attention might be needed.

Xpol:
Most people just don't know the power given to police. Police na general law enforcement agency..

Can arrest you for any offence.

Police have power to arrest you with or without warrant that's why their ID cards are called warrant card.

Police can search you with or without warrant.

Police can perform military, custom, immigration,ndla, road safety, etc duties

The power is just too much and that's why they misuse it.

I am just trying to correct the impression that it is a must they must align.

That's your business. Next time you will request to be taught manners by your father.

You wouldn't jump, rush to comment before using the pea sized brain.

Even if I am banned, I will still return for you till you're cured. If you see my comments, you will run next time.
