Wotoporiously speaking, NPF personnel no just get joy.

I parked at a bus stop to alight some persons only for them to come arrest me and asked me, "why you park here? Here na bus stop"?

With anger inside of me already, I voiced out with the whole of my strength, "if no b bus stop, na aeroplane parkhuh?
We argued small...

Na so dem carry me go station come lie sey I fight one of them inside uniform shocked

I parted away with money before the released me. undecided

They do have the newly released plate number code and range. So they know it is newly registered. Even if you like go use stone scrub your front plate number they go still know. Just make sure you get complete papers and double check the engine and chasis number are correct on your documents. Some time Roadsafety and internal revenue guy make silly mistake when filling those number and figures.

Are your papers complete?
If your answer is yes, I see no reason why you should part with your money.

There was a certain time a police officer stopped me, He thought I was a yahoo guy. He was like, "where small boy like you see money buy car", I told him the car wasn't mine. He said I should drop something for him, I said NO in a loud voice. He said he was going to drag me to the police station, I quoted some sections from the Police Act, and I dared him to arrest me, he was profiling me as a yahoo boy.

He smiled, when I told him he had no reasonable ground to search, or arrest me. He was like, I no get your time today. Shi shi I no dey drop.
