Me, na my in-law (a Naval Personnel) I dey call anytime they start their madness or better still I part with highest #500 to cure their madness. Not that I don't know my right buy Nigeria is a lawless country.

When I got to the station one of the officer showed me a white Venza and told me that the owner has completely lost It, and If I don't act immediately my car would go same way, I won't be able to get my car again even if I got the money that they're requesting and demanding for.

That statement alone, completely got total control of me, and I had to do the necessity.

You believed you car is stolen if not, you will not part with such money. Petition the IGP and copy the station.

I called a delta state CRU unit and he asked me to go to the station and call him when I get there. But I confided in a friend to follow me and he said the police that extorted me would deny me, argue they've never seen or met me or seen my car ever before. He said because I didn't transferred any money into their account but used a POS to withdraw the cash I used in setting them. Also, they might detain me or the person I called and talk to on the phone would not pick my call anymore when it's time as I do not know him directly, I would have been at the station already, I'm so scared to go. Please what do you suggest, please reply please.

You and all these your cooked up threads I thought you have stopped just kntwinue.

Cooked up threads you say? You're a first class Android fool. What I experienced first hand, coupled with the fact that everything I said I didn't committed or added advantage. And you called my post a cooked up story, It's really so pathetic.

Wanted to reply this thread since yesterday
But I was busy and boom it's already on the 9th page

Back to the matter.

OP
As long as you have done a new plate number with proper change of ownership.

You have no business carrying particulars of the previous owners

A change of ownership reflects the car belongs to you and you only

So moving forward

Keep only

Proof/certificate of ownership
Driver license
Insurance
Yearly vehicle license up to date showing correct chassis number and engine number.

In addition to avoid all doubts from any police,.
Use 5750 run ECMR,once your vehicle is registered on that portal with a valid certificate,

No Nigeria police can tell you crap..


In addition,
No law states in Nigeria you can't drive another person's vehicle

If there is an agreement between you and the previous owner to keep there plates and continue registration in there name,

All that matters to you and the police is you are driving someone else's vehicle,

What you need do is to ensure the person is always reachable via calls,but it still always better to perfect a change of ownership.

Which one is car license pls?

Richpet85:
Bro you don't need all these document for you to avoid police wahara. Just go to licence office and get changed of ownership using the document given to you by the car dealer, by that I mean purchase agreement paper/Car purchase receipt once that is done. Licencing office will give you change of ownership then remove all other documents in you car and just use below document to drive your car both police or custom officers will not worry you again. These are the necessary document to have in your car while driving.
1. Drivers licence
2. Proof of ownership/change of ownership
3. Car licence
4. Insurance certificate.
5. Plate number issuance.Certificate
6. Road worthiness certificate
7. Custom document not mandatory but incase you are travelling out of town and you meet custom officers.
Above is the only document needed and with this you don't have any business with police.

In naija. U need vehicle docs custom papers ,clearance fron customs. License ,insurance,police clearance,tint permit,

Even if your so called car has no documents and it's empty. Alaye sell that car and buy hilux white tinted with of cos sirens on roof top or prado. B4 police go get mind stop u. Maybe 2040

I see King in your name op but truly you're not behaving like one. First of all, I'll ask, have you gotten your complete car documents? I.e have you changed the car papers successfully to your name? If you haven't, then is the existing papers (the papers you bought the car with) expired? If the existing car documents in the previous owners' name is complete and not expired, no single policeman anywhere has ANY right to stop you for any reason. And if the previous papers are expired, then straightaway go to the licencing office in your area and do your change of ownership and obtain your new vehicular papers in your name. For avoidance of doubt, these are the ONLY papers a policeman is entitled to require from you at any checkpoint:

Driver's license.
Vehicle License.
Proof of ownership certificate or change of ownership certificate as the case may be.
Insurance.
Plate number purchase receipt
Certificate of roadworthiness
Tinted permit (if you drive tinted glasses)

Once you have these set of papers in your car, all current (not expired) you're not entitled to give any policeman a dime. Pls this is Nigeria, everyone at the checkpoint is hungry and looking for the novice that can pay for their lunch. Don't make yourself the unfortunate novice. Wise up and man up!

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.

This is just an embarrassment and another way created to extort people

Since you have all documents and except the one they requested, even is you have that, they will create a name for another request

I think at this stage, you need the contact of the original owner of the car so that when next they stop you and ask for irrelevant documents, ask the m to speak with the first owner as he is aware that you are the one that bought the car he sold at the car slot

Good morning sir, I have all of the above papers and documents that you made mentioned above, every single one of them. When I got the car, I did a new plate number last month, so my documents are still fresh, I have all of the documents you mentioned above, Including CMR. And all of them are in my name.

I did told them that I wanted to call who sold the car to me, but they refused, the didn't give me a single space to make that call.

And yes, you're absolutely right. What you stated Is exactly what my friend told me, he said that if I had gotten the "authority to sell" document, they would have created another one, just as you rightly said here.

Iceking1:
No, immediately I got the car, I register my own plate number. I have every documents, except the "authority to sell" which I haven't ever heard of before.

You don't need it.

Below are the only documents you need to move around with and show to Police, FRSC, VIO etc

1) Vehicle Licence
2) Certificate of Road Worthiness
3) Proof of Ownership Certificate
4) Insurance
5) Allocation of Plate Number
6) Tinted Permit (if glasses are tinted)
7) Drivers Licence

Select only those ones, make photocopies, staple them together and present to them.

8 ) Custom papers ... (for brand new/Tokunbo vehicles).

Be bold next time, if they insist on taking you to police station go with them after all you didn't steal the car

That will be an opportunity to tell the those that stole 80k from you and tell them the exact spot it happened and insist on seeing the DPO

Once you are allowed to see the DPO politely explain in details what you have passed through from his men and you just want to let him know that you are going to the media to say everything that happens with his boys on the road and now for them to bring you to the station

And that you will explain again to social media how you insisted on reporting the matter to the DPO

You know what, this last one will bring am end to all those nonsense because he will not want his station to be on the news for negative news and he will talk to his men

Get his contact make friend with him and anyone that stops you, tell the you will call. Mr DPO by mentioning his name and phone contact they will leave you immediately because he ma have warmed his boys earlier

When I did a new place number, all the above mentioned documents came with It except for tinted permit because my car isn't tinted, also drivers license because I have already got It since last year.

So, the papers are all stapled together. But I still kept the receipt they used in getting the car on a car stand separately, and the change of ownership I signed with the seller the very day I got the car. As they have used these two documents to take money from me in the past before, on my immediate previous car, on two different occasions, 30k and 50k respectively.

Whenever they go through my papers and confirmed It that it's correct, they normally ask for these two to extort me, so I normally move with them to avoid such a scenario, until days ago when they went through my papers and demanded for change of ownership between the very first user of the car and the immediate past owner that sold to me, and authority to sell, which I haven't heard of before. Which made me made a payment of 80,000 before they handed over my car keys back to me.

I have reported the matter on twitter, and I'm trying to get In touch with the DPO of that station.

Thank you so very much, I did reported the matter on Twitter and I'm on the verge of getting my money back, I got a contact of on ASP on that particular station yesterday, and he asked me to come and meet me today, with the assurance that I will be getting my money back in full.

Then, get an affidavit & Police report. The two cost #5,000 at Ikeja beside LASU Teaching Hospital. Go along with the purchase receipt and change of ownership you signed with the seller.

That is, if you live in Lagos.

Beautiful. Now do this. Photocopy all the papers I listed above, including your driver's licence. Staple them together and keep in your car. Keep the originals at home. The next time a policeman stops and asks for your papers, sit calmly in your car and give him the papers. When he's done, maximum he'll ask to see your boot. There's nothing wrong with that. Open the boot. But do everything calmly and confidently, not nervous or in a rush. After he's done with your boot, he'll hand you back your papers and either beg you for money or ask you to go. If he begs, you can give of you want and don't give if you don't want. If he makes ANY other claim to keep you there further, he's already infringing and doing nonsense and he knows it. Speak calmly but confidently. Stand on your right. Never hand over your key to them, whatever they say or do. Never show weakness or fear to a Nigerian policeman, else he'll exploit it. A policeman has no right to a dime from you if your car papers are intact

That's a good move and if they deny you already know where the POS operator is because am sure is the same location

After that they will stay clear from your car

Hello, someone gave me a number to call that it's the CRU unit of the police.
I called a delta state CRU unit and he asked me to go to the station and call him when I get there. But I confided in a friend to follow me and he said the police that extorted me would deny me, argue they've never seen or met me or seen my car ever before. He said because I didn't transferred any money into their account but used a POS to withdraw the cash I used in setting them. Also, they might detain me or the person I called and talk to on the phone would not pick my call anymore when it's time as I do not know him directly, I would have been at the station already, I'm so scared to go. Please what do you suggest, please reply please.

The police will deny you and the CRU guy will not be able to help further. I suggest you let it go but be careful to have your phone recorder on anytime the police stops you. This way, you can record the audio conversation with them and the POS guy. The audio recorder always pause when there is no ongoing conversation.

Happy you collected your money bank..

Nafizzey:
in which and how much?

not up to 80k for the plates and reg

Iceking1:
Please forward the contact to me, It happened In Delta state. Truly, would they summon the officers? Please send me the contact.
