Do you really believe that those police officers are there to truly enforce the law? By creating traffic problem at the congested Ikeja bridge, asking for your papers and fishing for errors, when don't find anything, they smile and ask 'anything for the boys', after wasting your time.

Do you really support this mess? How many times have you ever heard that thieves and criminals were caught at the Check points?

Do you even drive a car?

Do you know that criminal police officers once stopped me at the Check point because of the Jeep that I drive, asked me for my papers (I bind my papers like a book and keep 2 copies in the car). After looking through my papers, the other one distracted me and asked to search my car, while I speaking with him, the other with my papers tore out my insurance paper and threw out while I was not looking.

He later called my attention, asked Oga 'where your insurance?'. I told him it was there, when I looked at the paper and discovered he had removed it, I laughed and confronted him about what he did. He remained adamant that he did nothing, that I had no insurance.

I simply went to the car, brought the other copy, and showed him exact part of the paper that he evidently tore off.

He was ashamed and sunken, and reluctantly shouted 'please carry your car and go'.

I was driving interstate that day, If I had enough time that day, I would have driven the nearest police station and raised hell up to the zonal level.

I would be ready to pay a journalist friend to write an article about it with the facts I have, if they refused to bring that errant officer to book.

Checkpoint are illegal 'toll points' created by the police to swindle and extort commuters and members of the public. They should be abolished.

So sad reading this kind of negative reports about our police officers.
Learning point: Get your documents back before attending to their next request.

They won't give it to you until they are done with you.

If you insist, they will. Insist on one at a time.
