Obviously fictional, but you try sha, there is no evil this men in black are incapable of.
holaralph: REMOVE ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH END SARS IN YOUR PHONES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't ignore. Read through and warn your children. Just as I left the hospital
Before I got to the intersection.
They pulled before us in a black Toyota Sienna.
Blocking us from moving further.
These men.
In black and blue jeans.
And black tight t-shirts.
Heavily armed.
Sunglasses as usual.
Climbed out of the vehicle.
My driver exhaled heavily.
"These people again."
Eight men.
Two moved toward the Taxify.
Gun raised.
Cocking their rifles as though they had caught some criminals.
I sat calmly.
If you are a young man who frequents Taxify or Uber in Lagos, you'd probably get used to that embarrassment.
I had nothing with me just my phone.
And the medication I had gotten from the hospital.
I was so weak.
Massive headache.
While they approached I asked my driver.
"Who are those guys?"
"Haaa. Bros, na SARS o."
I said.
"I thought they have banned these guys?"
He looked at me.
"For wia. Na today?"
I sighed.
The two approached one on each side of the car. I kept my hands in plain sight and made no sudden moves.
One of the men shouted at my driver.
"You no go wind down? Abi you want us to beg you?"
The Taxify driver quickly hit the window button as he screamed forcing a smile.
"Aaah officer of the law no vex, sir! I throw way salute."
The one who had shouted approached my window.
I was looking away.
He shouted.
"Oga, you no dey greet person abi you no see us?"
I slowly turned my head and looked at him.
"Officer, good afternoon, sir."
"Afternoon. Who are you?"
I was about to answer.
He shouted.
"Oga, come down?!"
One of his folks standing a few steps away shouted.
"Who be dis person wey no dey hear us? Na one of those protesters? Devil go welcome am for hell now if he be one of those protesters."
He cocked his gun and approached my Taxify.
It was a lonely road.
No onlookers.
A few cars passed by the other side of the lane.
I gently got down from the car.
I greeted again.
Both of them.
"Officers, good afternoon, sir."
My driver came out and said.
"Na my passenger! I pick am from that hospital down the road."
The one who had asked me who I am shouted at him.
"Shut up! Did we ask you anything? You dey mad? Your moda!"
Then he turned to me.
"Oga, who are you?"
"My name is Kyrian Chiemelie, sir."
"What do you do? Wetin dey your pocket?"
"I am a writer, sir."
"Journalist?"
"No, sir. Author, scriptwriter, filmmaker, sir."
"Oga, wetin dey your pocket?"
"My phone, sir."
"Bring it out."
I dug out my phone.
"Unlock it."
"Why?"
The other one shouted attracting the rest, pointing his gun at him.
"You are asking us questions? Are you stupid?"
I said.
"No, sir. But none of you has the right to search my phone. I didn't do anything wrong."
One shouted, running toward us.
"Who dey yarn that rubbish? Na one of the protesters? Shoot the modafuvker!"
The other one said.
"We never know na when we search him phone we go know."
The Taxify driver said to me.
"Please, unlock your phone. You know what is going on already."
The one pointing rifle at me shouted.
Eyes widened.
Dark lips.
Unsmiling face.
"Oga, unlock your phone for the last time!"
As I used my fingerprint he snatched my phone from me immediately.
Handed it to the last folk who approached us.
He seemed to be the leader.
He started to go through my phone as he said.
"What did you say you do again?"
"I am a filmmaker, sir."
"Actor?"
I shook my head.
"Basically writing."
He looked at me.
"You look tired."
I said.
"I just dey come back from the hospital. The one down there."
"Wetin dey do you? COVID-19?"
"No, sir. Na stress and little sickness. My doctor has given me some tablets, I will be fine in a couple of days."
As he scrolled through my phone the others watched.
Gun pointed up, down. A few at me.
I remained chilled.
He asked.
"And you are not one of the end SARS protesters."
I remained silent.
One of them moved toward me as though he wanted to hit me his rifle.
I dodged.
"Oga, dey ask you, you dey ignore am."
The man said.
"Leave am. Make I see end SARS pictures on his phone first and he is gone with the gun."
I was still silent.
A few minutes later.
One said to the one with my phone.
"Oga, did you see any pictures of end SARS on his phone?"
"I never see one."
I said.
"Sir, can I go, please? There is nothing on my phone."
He looked at me.
"Are you teaching us our job?"
"Not at all, sir. But there is nothing on my phone. My doctor said I should not stand too long."
Two laughed.
"You dey tell us na. We wey no get doctor make we die. We wey dey use chamist cure our infection and malaria."
I didn't say a word.
One of them approached me and showed me some images on his phone.
Dead bodies.
Fresh corpses of youth, both male and female.
Lying by the bush.
Blood gushing from bullet wounds.
I looked at him, in fear.
He said.
"Shey dem dey shout end SARS we no dey catch anybody again o. But na make we see pictures of end SARS for person phone the person is gone. Dis ones wey you dey see so na some of the protesters o. Shey dey don die like dis? Dey will keep dying."
One shouted at him.
"Why you dey tell am this thing? Why you dey leak our secret? Do you know who he is?"
"Shey he talk say na filmmaker? He won't do anything."
Goosebumps rushed over me.
In actuality of how these guys are killing in reckless abandon.
The one with my phone said.
"I no see anything for him phone. He is free to go."
He handed my phone back to me.
Then said.
I took my phone and said.
"Thank you."
As I headed back to the Taxify, a Lexus Jeep was approaching behind us.
They rushed immediately and flew it to stop.
The Taxify driver got in and we started to drive off.
While I looked behind, watching as they dragged five guys out of the car.
About three wore t-shirts.
Boldly written 'EndSARS'.
The Taxify turned right at the intersection and I couldn't see anymore.
He shouted.
"Ah. These people are in trouble."
But I heard it barely ten seconds later.
It was loud from a distance.
Pooo!
Pooo!!
Pooo!!!
Three gunshots.
These guys are evil, I repeat very evil, kindly delete anything that has to do with ''ENDSARS''in your phone ����
ibedun: The idiot should go and make noise in his homeland joor! Yoruba too tolerate nonsense. I love igbo people but their excesses in Yoruba land is getting out of hand.
Last time I checked, Nigerians can live in any part of the country they choose. The man you are asking to go back to his homeland owns landed properties in Lagos, how many do you have there? None I guess.
I guess it's you who do not have any reason been there. So stfu and look for a transformer and hug it tight.
360degreess: This is senseless . the IGP has ended SARS already,what is your problem?. Even in your dream, that won't happen. It is dead on arrival. And to the Inyamiri that commented above, you people cannot even achieve the so called biafran dream, I wonder how you are going to achieve this.
Your brain needs to be restored to factory settings, why, because you are so blinded by hate that you cannot see the obvious;
1. The call for the IGP to be arrested was meant to compel him to fish out those rogue SARS operatives that brutalized unarmed protesters (office holders rarely act in Nigeria unless they are compelled to)
2. The move is not an inyamiri movement like you would have it, it's a Nigerian movement.
3. The Nigerian people have just successful made the government to dismantle SARS. if anyone told you this would happen a month ago, you would most probably say "impossible !"
4. If the Nigerian people put away tribalism and speak with one voice against bad governance, the government have no choice but to do our bidding (do you know why? They are there to serve us not themselves)
So put away you evil heart and seek some help for your blindness.
emerged01: Only unity can make Nigeria better. The more we involve ourselves in tribalism the more the problem of Nigeria become complicated. Together we stand divided we fall.
This corn-tree na wa o!
What leaves me in despair over the future of Nigeria is not the level of corruption (that is bad enough though), its not the lack of purpose as a nation(that is a nightmare in itself), nothing leaves me in more despair than the level of disunity existing between the numerous people of the country.
Bkayyy: Power to the people. Now that we are through with this one, let me remind you all that Singapore was kicked out of Malaya. So, since we have all agreed that Ndigbo are the problems of Nigeria, they sell fake products, tarnish our image abroad and are attempting to secede with our Niger Delta and her oil let's start the trend to kick only Igboland out of Nigeria so that they can start their drugs country or a referendum for the Igbos to be kicked out of Nigeria . #kickAlaigboOutofNigeria
Well, what can I say, that is what you get when abnormalities become normalcy.
HenryDion: What do you expect? We live in a country where creativity is not recognized. Stupidity, on the other hand, is endorsed, celebrated, and worshiped.
When countries are racing for the next big brain, perhaps someone who can break the great technological filter, or maybe the next Nikola tesla.
It's either we're wasting our life with useless reality shows, tribal wars and sars. Nigeria is like a sinking ship, and your aim should be to escape. Being called a Nigerian alone puts my life at risk in some countries.
God bless you, you have just stated my very thought on this matter.
ethicallyright: Modes of operation of security agents in every country are different and based on profiling even in America. Even Black cops are more likely to be more careful while arresting a black thug.
Policing in Mexico is different from policing in Sweden or Switzerland. In Mexico, when you are covered with tattoos, their police literally strips you down to even your underwear to ensure that you are not peddling drugs. The Mexican police understands through experience what the drug cartels are capable of and how they appear. Someone in Australia or Europe would consider that an abuse of human rights. The Nigerian police force uses the method that best suits Nigeria. If a foreigner from Western Europe arrives Nigeria , the individual would be surprise that Ak-47 rifles are used even in the absence of combat because police in their countries make use of pistols. Governors in such countries most times move with less than 5 security details.
Are the Nigerian police force wrong to use Ak-47s in broad daylight? Absolutely no. Even terrorist attacks in the UK are perpetuated with knives which shows the effective control of even civilian grade guns in that country. The Nigerian system demands that Law enforcement officials are always ready for combat at least with semi automatic rifles because an average Nigerian armed criminal moves with a superior weapon and there would not be enough time for reinforcement due to the state of bad roads , air response and other factors.
I hope it is innocent Nigerians that stole Ak47s after killing men of the force who represent the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The forerunners of this controversy have sinister motives.
They can run their fraudulent schemes without resistance, engage in their cultism parades in broad daylight , rebuild the local drug trade routes and strengthen the southern fire arms proliferation industry.
If the police force is reformed those celebrities who protested yesterday who are okay with the many policemen at their gates beating fans to pulp when they trespass would not have any police men attached to them because it is not so in the countries they visit. So they don't want to talk about reformation, they just want to stop a part of a larger whole because of their friends.
You wrote like someone with something upstairs, not like some people that act like tribalism foots their bills.
LegendHero: You guys should attack Kemi normally and desist from tribalism or attacking the Yorubas because of what Aunty Kemi said.
There are lot of Yorubas that want NOI to win including me because her win is a boost for Nigeria and not just the Igbos alone.
Adesina being the president of AFDB is not to support the interest of the Yorubas alone but the whole Nigeria and Africa, so anyone that is saying NOI should not win because she is Igbo should have their brain checked.
Are you for real? Did you mean what you typed or is it a joke in bad taste? As much as I'll have loved him to feel what his victims felt, albeit mildly, I understand Nigerian governors do not sign death warrants no more.
It's high time they started signing death warrants or we abolish capital punishment from our penal code. We should take a stand.
DenreleDave: this man cud have repented and become a great man of God..
Why kill him? This man needs help, killing him will lead to rise of 100s of David west again...
This wan don carry im bad life reach uk. No problem, enjoy your time in jail.
chatinent: A Nigerian rapper based in the United Kingdom , Olawale Hassan popularly known as Goldie 1 , has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping a woman.
According to bbc . com , the 33-year - old , who lives at Falcon Avenue, Grays, Essex , attacked the victim in Southend in 2017 after claiming he was a music producer , officers said .
However , during his trial , he denied the three counts of rape and one charge of assault by penetration .
Essex Police has described him as “ manipulative and calculated ” .
Detective Constable Victoria De ’ ath, of the force, praised the woman , in her 20s , for her “ courage” in reporting the attack .
It was gathered that Hassan targeted the woman while she was out with a friend in February 2017. She turned down his requests for her number and to accompany him to his hotel room before he promised to get her home safely after her friend left .
Instead , he parked his car on the seafront and locked its doors when she tried to flee before attacking her . He later took her home where she called the police .
Just imagine! We keep turning things on its head in this corn-tree, encouraging irrelevancies and discouraging productivity, that is how the system works. That is why we are heading nowhere as a nation.
mofayode: Honestly this government is of the world, and is for worldly things. How many scientists, technologists, medical , humanity study students that are really doing exploit in universities, were ever rewarded like this by our government, in bbn the runners-up of a programme that's is not up to a semester are multi-millonaires, ambassadors haba. Meaning we are just pretending, this is most watched live broadcast by all ranks
Afamed: The president as the executive arm of Govt should have taken the role of Judiciary as the same time? Most of you have a short memory. Today , democracy is in danger Tomorrow the president should not have released Kalu against the pronouncement of the Supreme court. Truly IPoB are confused set of entity
Your confusion knows no bounds, did you even read what I wrote? If you did, then you have problems comprehending the simplest of things.
Now this is a breakdown of my post
If I said "I do not support stealing, but my associates are all thieves" what would you make of me?
