It is saddened when I read how Nigerian security agents extort and harass motorist on the highway over car registration issues that could be avoided. Do the following you will never be harrassed again.

1. Make sure your car documents are up to date. Eg.
Drivers licence and your car particulars.

2. Be Polite when ever you are been stopped...greet them with smiles on your face when an officer tries to intimidate you try to keep ur cool and stand by your right...don't show any sign of fear. Try as much as possible to be calm.

3. Check the validation of your plate number on FRSC data base. https://nvis.frsc.gov.ng/VehicleManagement/VerifyPlateNo . Enter your plate number..it will display the make of your car, color of your car as it is on your paper. If your plate number is valid and yet to be assigned it means your documents was not uploaded...go to any licencing office with your car particulars they will upload it with a token not more than 1k. Depends on your approach.

4. Be sure your particulars are authentic. To be sure Check your vehicle licence here just enter ur plate number it will display the expiry date of ur paper..abuja registration has not been updated on the site..I don't know why is like that..https://verify.autoreg.ng/.

5. After you have confirmed all and an officer still tries to Harrass you..be calm,don't be afraid to follow them to their station. When you get to their station quietly call Inspector General monitoring Unit 08036242591 and lodge your complaint..they will quickly let you off their hook.

This works when you meet 'normal' policemen, not those who are itching to kill or already plan to rob the car owner.

Complete traditional dress with head gear and a very nice perfume will do.

Nice. Also make sure your triangle, fire extinguisher, spare tyre, headlamps, break light and everything is working fine. The Nigerian Police turn themselves to FRSC if they cannot fault you on any of the points as listed by @op.

Lol. It doesn't end there.

They will turn themselves to NDLEA officers after that. And no, I'm not talking about hard drugs and other prohibited substances. They will search for things like the blue pills, emergency contraception, even condoms and will threaten to arrest if you don't settle.

Those who ply Enugu-Awka (old road) know what I'm talking about.

Dishonesty, Criminal mindedness to cheat the government and negligence of law, and the idea that the police do not work, is not only a problem here in Nigeria, but in some countries.
For example, here in Nigeria many motorist, prefer patronizing touts claiming they re agents of state car registration unit than having the time to visit any vehicle license and registration units to save money.
For example, most third party insurance cost #5000, and a tout will do it sharp sharp for #2000.
Vehicle license renewal at #3000, an agent will do it sharp sharp at #1500.
Even obtaining a driver's license can be done sharp sharp at #5000 because the frsc delays.
Sharp Sharp things comes with sharp sharp problems.

No penalty for time wasting, harassment, illegal detention....your post also failed to address or list the exact documents a private car owner should carry and what a commercial driver should.

All the criminals in uniform ask private car owners for roadworthiness certificate which is meant for commercial vehicles.

They also ask for proof of ownership which is for vehicles that have not been registered
e.g those ones being sold tokumbo or where valid registration hasn't taken place.

Anyone who drives with a wrong or expired vehicle particulars should face the police and your post is just centered on making sure your papers are up-to-date. Silly.

What are the papers? Because the average Nigerian driver is still in the dark what police is to check and the uniformed criminals are milking them dry illegally.
