A viral video has shown a shocking encounter between Nigerian police and two international tourists driving a legal right-hand drive (RHD) vehicle through Nigeria.

The tourists, a male and female couple, were stopped while transiting from Benin Republic to Cameroon with a 30-day temporary permit. The officer claimed that driving an RHD vehicle was illegal, despite the tourists presenting all the necessary documentation.

Unbeknownst to the police, the tourists had a camera in their car recording the interaction. The officer asked if they were husband and wife, and the female replied that they were friends — boyfriend and girlfriend. When questioned about the purpose of their visit, they said they were tourists. The officer then asked, “Those people that use to catch animals in the bush?” and whether they were being paid, to which the female confirmed they were not. She explained that they had sold their house in England to buy the vehicle and travel all the way to South Africa.

The conversation quickly turned personal. The officer asked their ages and marital status, and even questioned whether a light on the car was a camera. He made inappropriate remarks, telling the male tourist to impregnate the female tourist, and repeatedly instructed them to pull over.

When asked if they took alcohol, the female said, “Yes, sometimes.” The officer offered to buy alcohol for her, but the male tourist declined, saying they needed to reach their destination before it got dark. They eventually collected their documents and tried to drive off. Just before the video ended, the officer was heard telling the female, “You like enjoyment too much, please have a baby for this man,” and to the male, “Try and impregnate this woman when you get home,” to which he replied humorously, “I will try my best.”

The video, trending on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), was shared by Sahara Reporters and has sparked widespread debate about law enforcement conduct in Nigeria.
While some did not find anything wrong with the interaction, others have argued that the police officer had no right to delay them or engage in such a manner of conversation since they had already presented valid documents, describing the incident as a form of harassment.

Summary:
Two international tourists traveling through Nigeria with a valid 30-day permit were stopped by a police officer who insisted their right-hand drive vehicle was illegal. Despite presenting proper documentation, the encounter turned personal, with the officer asking inappropriate questions and making controversial remarks — all unknowingly recorded on camera. The viral video has since sparked mixed reactions and debate about police conduct in Nigeria.

The policeman really displayed the typical Nigerian police officer. What's his business with "You must give her pregnancy"?
Thank God he didn't ask for roger from the oyinbos.

All looks like a friendly conversation to me and no harm intended

Nope, let's not normalize madnesx.
It's completely inappropriate and unprofessional to be talking in such tone to people - what was it about their vehicle papers that warranted the need to ask so personal questions and then turn to a pregnancy counsellor.

They do worst in abroad with useless and personal and irrelevant questions. Just be friendly and and don't be aggressive.

The average white european/american value travel experience more than wealth...

You bloggers are clowns, everywhere in the world police questions people. Or police won't do their job because she is white?

Foreigners need to be scrutinized more.

Police can stop you for various reasons, as long as they don't extort you, let them do their job. Una go dey shout insecurity still discouraging police from doing checks. Confused people.

traveling unburdens the soul.

some irrelevant questions

I don't see anything wrong in questions asked

Police abroad do same thing but as e be say na Nigeria, una must find something to talk.

Low self esteemed lots

Nothing concern me for this matter at all

Thank God he didn't ask for money. Also God please let this people get to Cameroon safely oooo. No kidnapping ooo please I beg you in the name of Jesus.

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation

Nothing wrong with the questioning though, because that's the same way (if not worse) these foreigners (their police) question us in their countries. They see you in a mall, and they start asking silly questions, eg."What you doing here?" In my mind, what I'm I doing in a mall that's different from what others are doing?...

What's the brouhaha about?

Commendable by the Nigeria police force the supposed arrest them self
20 character needed

Typical Nigerian with their aproko behaviour, always prying into people's private affairs

That was a friendly conversation, the officer did his job and was simply jovial.
It's everytime that we must condemn our officers

Nna too mumuuuu, so the police should not do their work again because of white skin colour, I blame those hungry bloggers that makes news out of nothing, go abroad and see how police de make life difficult for blacks

Nigeria police officer don't know the meaning of tourist/tourism.......
Oku gbawa 🔥🔥


But the police man asked good questions and he behaves matured.

The right people for the job are jobless while the wrong ones are been paid for this nuisance unprofessional act. Shame on Nigeria police. Shame on the inspector General and all Top Government officials. What a disgrace

The police man is just trying to be friendly nothing more

In which countries can police stop you and offer to buy alcohol while you are driving.

Then tell you to impregnate your woman, and tell your woman pretty much not to cheat on you?

The reason one must be informed about presence of camera. Many of us have more terrible interaction in private but form decent the moment we see camera.

Is there any time that the Nigerian police is not an embarrassment?

Is that why we are praying and fasting to japa to where policemen are doing WORSE than here

What else is worse in abroad, which we are attracted to?

The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience

JUNE 24, 2019

The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.

Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.

Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.

The police man just want them to part with some money but as they remained adamant he later became friendly...



The NPF really need to upgrade their force men.

Hmmm...on a normal day the guy was doing his job but considering it was 9ja...well...


Perhaps it was after remembering there could be cameras watching that he turned the convo into a joke else it seens he wanted to go the usual rout

"We were warned about situations like this"....Such a sad statement from the lady...9ja reputation proceeds her.

At least grateful he didnt ask for money...so that's a good one...we will get there one day.
