Racoon:Honestly I think humans have a morbid desire to see another human killed...else how do you explain the crowd that comes to watch public execution yet some within the crowds will be right there stealing or after watching, go home to do one bad thing or another!!! Again look at a situation where an accident occurs, humans these days would rather film than move to rescue!! So i think these execution doesn't deter humans...incarceration is better. |
PS. in as much as this event happened in 2015, I kept it a secret from my family until last year I told it to my children! My wife still doesn't know...maybe the boys will tell her when they want to...but definitely not me!! They were not shocked because they said they always knew i was never a weakling even though I'm gentle! We are usually always filled with adventure... |
Brethren! I learned the hard way on the 15th day of December 2015, road rage, rash decision and uncouth behaviour can lead to serious consequences and regret. Money thrown away! I could have used that money even as a gift to someone in need, I wasted it away, wasted productive time too, and endangered my health and family wellbeing... Thanks for reading... |
My phone's ring tone woke me up, and it was my wife. Your phone's been unavailable, I said yes, no light! Lie. So what's up? Oh, just charged it now and going back to work. Lie again... How are you? I'm fine...Lie again...hmmmmm. Have you had lunch? Yes, Lie again and again... Look, I'm rushing out, call you later this evening...another Lie just to stop telling more lies! I lay back down and rested more before going out to get something into my stomach... |
I got to my abode and straight into the shower! Warm soothing bath with disinfectant and lots of scrubbing...I continually imagine how those who are inmates manage the hygiene there! So many things go on in there, eating and drinking in an enclosure less than 150sqm with the washroom only inches from your nose and mouth. Some guys in using the toilet would blast the output in high decibels not even regarding the ears and senses of others! Oh God!! After shower I laid down to reflect...but soon drifted to dreamland...I couldn't control the urge.... |
Yes, more trouble! Kidnap file closed and thrashed, accident file opened! What have I gotten myself into!! But I'll say it's a case of fire into frypan! Was informed going to press charges? No I responded, was he the driver also going to press charges? No, both of us preferred to stay away from trouble. Better...the vehicles were photographed, the case processed and dismissed. But i still had to pay some amount officially and under the table. I didn't mind, just wanted to get the hell outta that place! You can go collect your clothes and accessories and car and go!! Music to my ears! I smiled for the first time! Imagine walking down corridors in a public place dressed in boxers only, some lady police commented about my build and I thought I'll dismissed her with a sarcastic remarks but she took it literally and said I go bring your car keys now which side you live. See me see trouble... Of course Reuben didn't let that slide, continued to tease me with that statement till we parted that day. |
Why are you wearing only boxers?? You don't look hungry, in fact you look great!! That's how crazy Reuben can be. I was glad to see him and even though I didn't find his comments amusing at that time... ![]() Was taken to the counter and to an office, there i met the driver who brushed me. He looked unhappy and greeted me. I responded and tried to be friendly. I had regained my composure. The police asked if we knew each other we both said no. Any quarrels before yesterday? No. Then each of us explained ourselves and it was determined that it was more of accident than a kidnap case!! Phew!! What a relief...hope!! Then came the part i dreaded! BAIL!! #100k naira...and I looked at Reuben, he then took the officer aside and they whispered, came back and he gave them half the amount. Meanwhile rice and beans had been sent for but I couldn't eat, partly due to the trauma I felt psychologically and anxiety of leaving that place. So, the police now turned the case to accident case! More trouble!!!! |
galantjoe:Thanks for understanding the message. Road rage...that's it.. |
Double0h7:Sure. |
Double0h7:Thanks for the embarrassment. That's the point of the whole story, I made a very stupid decision, and bore the consequences...I learned my lesson and want others to learn too. Yes, I'm a husband and father, does that mean I've not downsides? My reaction that day was not something you'd see in me, yet that day it reared and I paid for it!! |
The condition of not knowing how far time was moving, the desperation to leave the environment, thoughts about my family and the situation i found myself, a kidnap case was overwhelming...and being in the little enclosure with another 15-18 men really began to make me feel claustrophobic and faint...I was losing strength, no food, though I wasn't hungry. I just kept feeling faint and sick...I started to whisper prayers for my friend to show up... I continued to feel low...couldn't tell the time made it worse...it was taking forever!! I couldn't imagine another night here!! I tried to draw strength, but from where?? When I was sure I would lose consciousness...I heard my name at the gate!! Or was i already out of this earth and at the gates of heaven No!! |
My cellmates began sitting in pairs or small groups talking about things, I tried to chat the guy sitting next to me, he told me he was brought to the cell by his uncle who had accused him of theft... I heard some men speaking hausa and decided to greet them and join their conversation, they responded to the greeting and we chit chatted a while. Their case was beyond me, they'd been in that cell for close to 6 months!! I shuddered...that's serious! I couldn't imagine myself in that place for any more minute! How do they cope?? Oh lord!! People are going through a lot of trauma!! Then I noticed the cell became quieter, I began to sense that everyone was being cautious...I was a mole!! A police mole!! Maybe i was talking with them so I could extract information! I then retreated into my thoughts. I had believed that chatting will take my mind off my situation and let time pass at least. But now I'm being alienated! Police mole! Anyway, now I had to sit quietly and wait. This was taking too long, I couldn't tell the time...this made it even worse. After a while a young lady came with some food for a guy, and the guard said: give the food quick and go, many of them inside the cell haven't seen or slept with a woman for long, if you delay now dem fit craze as dem dey see you!! I couldn't even smile even though he said it and was laughing...the life of cell dwellers!! The things one took for granted now is used as a Taunt!! |
I realised the cell remained dark, that's when I really took a look. The cell had no windows!! I saw some slats that probably allowed air to circulate, but definitely let in only very little light. Somehow, you couldn't tell time because the ambience in the cell remained the same. Soon, some family members brought food for some of the men and they ate after inviting us all, I declined, but the aroma of the food reminded me I hadn't eaten from last night...I pushed aside the thought...I need to see my friend who I'm expecting to come and do the needful to get me free from this progressing nightmare!!! |
Soon, an officer came and called my name. I came to the door, I was let out, taken to the counter and asked to call whoever I wanted to call. I called my friend and told him to come over. He promised to come as soon as he could. Then I was taken back to the cell. I had walked in my boxers in the reception hall of a police station...no shoes, no glasses, no dignity!! Chaaaiii...na me be this?? My father a retired officer himself would be ashamed!! My mum would cry!! My wife, what would I say to her?? My children!! How can I explain myself to them?? I felt tears stinging my eyes, but I swallowed it...after all, I haven't even been charged yet...I needed to focus and wait for my friend to come...he has influence...high ranking officers, he must get me out!!! |
Sleep eluded me, of course how would I sleep with such a situation? How would I defend myself? Get a lawyer? How long would the case last? Maybe I'll remain in custody until it's over! A whirlpool of thoughts kept me wide awake... The toilet opened directly into the cell, and when I was pressed I walked in and peed, it splashed on my legs but I didn't care.. At dawn my cellmates started to stir..and soon the cell guard came to wake us up...we were let out just at the door and the guard greeted. Then said to answer to our names. Names were called and each person answered and got back into the cell. I heard my name, I answered and got back in, I was the last to be called, so I guessed the roll call followed the order of arrest.. I just said to myself, see your name being called in a police station well...I felt really bad. As i sat down in the still dim cell someone asked my name again and why I was there..I told him.. Then he said: na lie you de lie, you be police! Dem just put you here to spy us. See your fresh body, you be real officer, who you want to decieve? Wow!! I couldn't believe my ears!! But i said he was mistaken, he dismissed me by saying no dey lie sir you no fit decieve us! Then I kept quiet. And I thought maybe that's why I was left alone the night before! They saw my size and maybe the "confidence " with which I spoke. Somehow I was relieved! ![]() |
I kept expecting something dreadful, several minutes passed then I began to relax a bit. Then a smallish guy sat up and asked my name and reason i was there. Something told me to be instinctive, and though I gave my true name i just said I kidnapped someone, I thought maybe that would make them feel i was tough... He then rolled back on his mattress and said we go talk in the morning night don do, sleep.. I exhaled and still sat on the can wondering... So this is CELL, these are inmates, with varying situations true or false, real or imagined. I was in a dilemma, what was going to happen by morning? Would i truly face a kidnap case? |
Kobojunkie:Instead of being rational and think comprehensively i decided to let my anger lead my thoughts...that's rash... |
Kobojunkie:That's why I said i made a rash decision... ![]() |
Suddenly my phone rang! Who could be calling me at this time?? A friend...but definitely not one i could tell my situation...I was surprised how calmly i spoke to him. Greeted him goodnight and gave the phone back to the police. My moment had come, no panic, I walked to the cell, filled with millions of thoughts...I was helpless to do anything until morning at least...I resigned to fate... As the cell doors shut behind me i looked at the figures lying on the bare floor of the 12 by 16 ft square cell, only the faint light from the corridor cast dimly into the cell...I stood for a moment waiting for whatever next... Then a voice spoke rather calmly, oga, find place seddon or lie down o, no disturb anyone... Then I sat on a plastic rubber can.... |
Before this event, I'd travelled from my home and my wife had made me some talk about me working far from home so I'd not spoken with her all day. Now, here I was, 700km from home, with a kidnap tag hanging over my head, it's 10pm, who would I call at this time? What conditions would face me in the cell? How will I be treated? What and how my reactions would be still fazed me! Well, id made up my mind if I was treated rough, I person must go down to from among my attackers. I know pain points in the human body and where to hit to send anyone into unconsciousness or to the great beyond...so I began to compose myself before I ushered in... Take off your shirt and jeans! I obeyed, your glasses too...I obeyed. Cell guard!! Take him in...i steeled myself.... |
My rash decision and anger led me into police cell for a night. A guy brushed my car and drove off, chased him down pulled him right through the window of his battered pick-up truck threw him into my car and despite his pleas I drove him to the police station and called my police friend there. So the guy settled the police man cos by then I'd calmed down, and I drove him now all sober back to where his pick-up was left, silly me. Well, i got to my room and I'm less than 30 minutes I got a call from my police friend that I should meet him at the spot where I caught up with the driver. So i went back there...and my mouth dried up immediately... Standing around were 6 hefty and angry looking policemen of the Anti kidnap squad! One entered my car and ordered me to drive to the police headquarters...left with no option I followed his orders. Getting there i was told it's a kidnap case!! How?? They said the driver's relatives had called that he had been kidnapped by a huge guy driving a small car (Peugeot 206). And since it was already 10pm i would be locked up till morning before a file would be open for me. I began to prepare for the worst possible scenario in the cell. Would I be beaten? Punished or made to do something I wouldn't want? To be continued.... |
alphonsoolajide:It will end in praise to who?? God gave you a fearful and wonderfully made body, but you're now telling the Great Creator how wrong His was!! Good ahead... |
doggedfighter:Seriously I don't understand the call for prayers. You're telling people to help you challenge God as to why he created your body that's its not satisfactory to YOUR taste!! You want to alter it to suit your appeal as though you have power to advise God!! Really!!! |
Omoawoke:Omo, everyone to his tent... |
Baawaa:Only him with all these diseases?? You guys should take it easy with the lies abeg...and whatever may ail him the government will see he's well treated... |

zeestone99:Sir, looks like you just needed to respond right? Did you really read my comments?? Hope you understand when I mentioned EXPERIENCE? |
zeestone99:I'm trying to hide my shock at this statement you made sir. Anyway, if the man is the only one who can drive the car without posing and danger to the family then so be it! No further comment...cheers. |
Mariangeles:Honestly that's the situation, just reading the topic self made me go get some!! I don chop am clean mouth!!! ![]() |
zeestone99:My brother, I wear shoes and I know where it pinches!! And again I say, if there a car, it's to be used by the family, and let me say this, no matter how careful one is, if an accident will occur, it won't be because you're careful or careless!! So whether it's the man or wife, it may happen! Why deprive yourself or family?? |
Sonnobax15:If the trap catch you, and they reset the trap while you're still inside, I will still fall into that trap!! |
This is insanity! Like this you are a husband and a father? Africa my Africa! This is why other races see the black man as an animal. I’m so embarrassed for you.
