Ikpumbe1: On 29/12/2020 in Aba, I was stopped by a group of police men while driving myself and family members on my 2005 honda accord. The police men wore just police camouflage polos with no displayed Identity card, name tag or force number and were carrying AK-47 rifles. I was driving my 2005 honda accord car with Lagos registration number.
Inside the car were my two younger brothers, my younger sister, my wife and my one year old baby. The police men requested for my vehicle papers and driver's license which I handed over to them. They said that my license registration number is fake. They showed me an FRSC web page where they ran my plate number and it displayed "Invalid".
I explained to them that the number was duly registered in Lagos and that the plate number was gotten via legal channels and there is no way it can be fake. They wouldn't hear of that. I demanded that they allow me call who registered the vehicle for me which I did. The agent that registered the vehicle for me is a colleague of mine in the office that has connection with FRSC.
He explained to me that Lagos is the only state that produces their plate number themselves and that sometimes they don't upload it on FRSC database. So, that the number doesn't show on FRSC database doesn't mean that it's fake. He gave me Lagos autoreg verification website(verify.autoreg.ng) to give the policemen to verify the plate number . I personally verified my number on the autoreg website and it showed valid. I tried explaining these to the policemen but they wouldn't hear the explanation.
They collected the car keys from me to drive the car to their station but couldn't start the car after several attempts. They ordered I and my younger brother into their miniature mitsubishi bus and took us to their station. They later took my brother back to the car location and towed the vehicle to their station.
They told me to UnCloth to my boxer shorts and detained me inside their cell(the condition of the cell is story for another day). I was detained for approximately 6hours till my dad came and they collected thirty thousand naira from him before releasing me. The DPO ordered for my release after my father intervened and is most likely aware of the thirty thousand that was paid before I was released.
He(DPO) said my vehicle should not be released till they conclude investigation on the license plate issue. They defrauded 30k from my father to effect my release when I committed no crime. My vehicle was duly registered in Lagos which can be verified on autoreg website. They detained me for no just cause for 6hours in a filthy cell that is not fit for lower animals let alone a human being. They refused to release my vehicle till this moment thereby causing a lot of hardship to my family for someone that visited home for Xmas.
I have resolved to fight the humiliation I am suffering in their hands with everything I have got. I just want to be sure that what my agent told me is the truth. Is a plate showing on autoreg but not on FRSC database fake? How can I prove that my plate number is authentic? Please gurus should respond.

Cerveau: The parents of these kids totally deserve the award of "Worst Parents in 2020". Involving little kids in an adult's game. What are you teaching these kids?
It's okay if as an adult you cry yourself to sleep because of BBN. You're totally responsible for your actions. But for Christ Sake, these are children, they don't know any better, they grow in the direction we want them to go. Soon more people will join till it becomes a trend.
"Bring up your child the way you want them to go, so when they are old they won't depart from it"
Inkling: The same spot, our bus pick two of them. They sat close to me, it was late so we were not many and we are mainly females. When we got to lonely spot the alerted the driver that they will like to drop, one of them already hangged on the bus entrance leaving me and his colleague on the first sit at the back. The one inside started dragging my phone with me and the backpack containing my stuff, I refused to let any of them go (by this time crying of thief, thief and shouting of Jesus Jesus already going on).
When he noticed that I was not ready to give up, brought out knife from his side, by this time the bus is already moving and as God we have it he lost balance and fell down but managed to roll out. If we have like three men in the bus that day we would have caught them.
