This is the criminal activity that won't make Nigeria grow forward
It always brings us back to 100 years backward

Ask your dealer or your license agent which paper to give to the police and which paper to give to other officer on the road when they ask

Don't be ignorant in this country
Well I will advice don't go back because you don't have the courage but learn from. This step onward

You paid the money out of ignorance.
You felt guilty as soon as they asked for your papers and they smelt your fear
I wasn't afraid, they forcefully took my car key from me.

Delta state? No wonder lol……. Every young guy driving a good car na “yahoo” boys to them…… Na profiling full that state.

But you don’t have to panic if you are legit, they don’t have right to ask you for those documents.

Na Vehicle License, Insurance, eCMR (Now suspended), Tint Permit (Extended till August), Roadworthy certificate

Proof of Ownership na jara in case they are suspecting the car to be a stolen vehicle.

Anything outside this…. E no follow
I am 100% legit, and I have all the above documents you made mentioned above. It's just so unfortunate that the police always loved taking advantage of me, almost all of the time.

Go on Temu and search for dashcam, you will see different types, and if you are on bucks… get Rayban Meta glasses (It’s expensive) but it will save you a lot from Police Intimidation. As far as you stay Legit with nothing incriminating.
Thank you sir, I will do that right away.

I'm still pained until this moment for the money I wasted yesterday, coupled with the fact that I have been unable to go out since morning, because fear of such a scenario repeating Itself again, with another set of police or even same set.
You committed no offense. You probably paid because of fear and ignorance. No papers like that.
Do you havePOLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE?
That's the valid paper you should get when you buy used cars as used.
You can get it from the major police station in the town with the papers you used to buy the car.
You pay some money and police will go through your papers and issues it when satisfied that it's not stolen.

Guy, you have to be bold and composed in this country. If they sense fear in you, my brother you go pay taya
That's it bro. Fear is a bad disease. Once the other person sense fear in you, you've lost the battle. Police extortion thrive on putting fear on people, then they'd deal with you. I strongly believe the person here isn't a regular road user. I think with this, he'll man up going forward.

They asked for the agreement paper between the first seller and the second seller that sold directly to me which I don't have, they told me that all the history of the vehicle started from me, which isn't entirely true because I have every document of the second seller that sold to me at home, including the car receipt of the first seller, that bought the car directly from a car stand.

Good afternoon Nairalanders,

I was driving yesterday afternoon, when I was stopped by the police, they inspected my papers and noticed that I bought my car at a car stand "used" so they asked me for a document named "authority to sell" I was surprised because I haven't ever had of that before, even though this Is my 4th car. They then proceeded to ask me for agreement paper between the first owner and the previous owner that sold to me. Which I don't have, but I have every other documents from the immediate owner, and have none from the very first owner, except the motor receipt, that they used to buy the motor from car stand.

They took my car to the station, and demanded 400k, I pleaded with them for almost an hour until they accepted 80,000. They told me they need cash, I withdrew the money and gave them the cash.

When I got out of the station I confided with a friend and narrated everything to him as it happened and asked him for help In other to avoid such a scenario from happening again.

He told me that, the paper that I wrote and signed on the car stand before leaving with the car, on the day I bought the car "aggremenr paper" was what led them asking for the "authority to sell" paper. He told me that nevertheless, they have no business asking me for the agreement paper between the old, and immediate seller that sold to me and the other previous owner.

He then advised me to go and re_do another agreement paper, the ones they normally type with old type writer, and take it to who sold the car to me to sign, so that when next they see me they won't ask me for authority to sell, as my agreement papers won't indicate that I bought the car from a car stand "used" but it would seem like I bought the car directly from a regular user.

I did as he told me but I'm still worried, as they would still stop me to take more money from me in the future because I don't have the agreement paper between the immediate previous owner and the former owner that sold to him. They're always fond of asking for such, all my previous cars I have the aggrement papers of previous owners to current owners that sold to me, please I need advice on how to go about this agreement papers, I have gone to the car stand severely and they gave me the contact of whom they bought the vehicle from before selling to me, I called and he told me that he had traveled out, I need help please, help me.

Would an affidavit of "loss of agreement paper from who sold to me directly and the first user solve this issue? Please help I'm so worried.

Below is the 80,000 I withdrew and used in settling the police yest afternoon, I paid 2800 as charges to the POS girl.
If there is no change of ownership done on that car ...it means you are driving on another person's name . Let me make it simpler

Let's say Mr A is the first owner of that car and he sold it to Mr B ...Mr B can only be the owner of that car if he proceed to effect proper change of ownership of that car . He will be entitled to fresh plate number and all necessary document in his own name ...He will no longer be driving under the first owners name .

To solve your problem ...kindly do.priper change of ownership for that car
That way police won't harass you cos every document will be in your name ..The moment all those document tallies with your name on the drivers licence ...they cannot proceed further ..The only time they can proceed further is if the chadis number of that car had been flagged as stolen car

Finally is not enough buying car ..Ensure you do due diligence. I have in the past written about due diligence to be dome to avoid wahala ...When police knows that you don't know your right ...they will be harassing you...If you have interest in doing proper change ownership ...kindly contact me only if the plate number you have on that car is lagos registration...I don't dabble Into cars bearing other state number .

Boss, but what do u think? Can I do a change of ownership papers between the very first user that bought the car directly at a car stand and the 2nd user that sold to me?

Since, that's what they're using to take money from me and I don't have It, please I need your advice, is it appropriate for me to do this change of ownership?
Since you have contact of the first owner why not get his name and details and information him of the scenario and wring an agreement with his knowledge and ask him to send you a scan signature to append to it and tha would settle your predicament.shalom

Obviously you'd see it on jumia. And when buying look for the ones with 360° camera so that it can pick events happening inside the car as well. It wouldn't just be focused on the road.

Nice one.

What if you havve effected all changes legally and everything is in your name, with new plate numbers, but the former user engraved the former plate number on the vehicle glasses, what do u do in that instance?
Cos the engraved numbers are now different from ur present plate number.

Police has stopped me for that before

He gave me all the necessary papers to give to the police whenever they asked for my particulars, but ever since they asked for my agreement papers and motor receipt they used in buying the car from a car stand, whereby I wasn't with at that moment as it's not supposed to be part of papers to show police, I paid 40,000 that day, ever since then I always carry them along, and keep them among my particulars. But day before yesterday encounter was something else, I haven't ever been asked for "Authority to sell" before. In fact I haven't heard of it ever before.

It's what made them carry my car to the station, whereby they took 80,000 from me.

Immediately I got the car, I applied for a new plate number, It got ready about 6 days later, I screwed the old plate number out of the car and Inputed the newer one. Also, the new papers of the car that came with my new plate number are all on my name, including the proof of ownership, CMR and everything else, everything are all in my name. I just haven't ever heard of the "authority to sell" that they used to extort me day before yesterday, I haven't heard of it before.

From what you typed, it seems you haven't done change of ownership yet, you have not registered the car in your name.
If you have every documents in your name, no police will ask for those trash or even know you just bought the vehicle.
