After hanging our with friends and loved ones on the 25th of December somewhere Owerri and was heading back to hometown "ORLU", and ran into a Police check point along Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education. I was taken to Shell Camp Police Station around 12am and was unlawfully locked up because they saw 250k in my Venza. I was ready to give them money but they requested for 150k. The Nigerian Police Force is never a friend and can never be.

U are safer in the hands of armed robbers than in the hands of the Nigerian Police.

Police is our friend at least that is what they say, but we have come to question this statement now and often due to the nefarious and unwholesome activities of some bad eggs in the police force, these are some good tips for you to make sure you don't encounter or be a victim of these bad activities



1. Never run away from a policeman : Never run from a Nigerian policeman, whether you are innocent or guilty or you are automatically signing your death warrant, in many European countries, their police force are equipped with tasers and stun guns to use on running criminals or offenders, but the case is not so in Nigeria, where the policemen only have loaded guns with no safety catch,.
some policemen are too lazy to chase criminals, they just let the velocity of their bullets do the running business.


2. Give them their dues : whenever you meet police men at checkpoints , and they ask you for money whether legally or illegally. Please give them, don't try to be the know it all or try to be one who is current in law matters, this might sound stupid but remember you are doing this for your life and the passengers you have in your care, we have heard and seen cases of drivers refusing to give policemen their dues and their passengers suffered dearly for it.


3. Don't joke or argue with a drunk policeman ; whenever you are at a bar and you see drunk policemen with guns. It is better for you to leave the bar club or joint discreetly ,but if you must stay, avoid the policemen like fleas and don't draw too much attention to yourself, drunk policemen are just like time bombs waiting to explode. Don't joke with them, because in their drunken state, they might not able to get the meaning of your jokes well , a drunk civilian can cause havoc not to talk of a drunk policeman with a loaded gun.


4. Watch the signs ; whenever you find yourself around a policeman with a gun whether drunken or sober, always watch for any hostility signs in them , especially when a policeman start talking about killing.e.g I feel like killing somebody today, I will shoot you, if you try me, I will show you pepper etc.. Don't wait to see if the policeman is actually bluffing, take to your heels .


5. Be cautious or avoid areas where a policeman had recently been injured or beaten : when you hear or you actually see a policeman being beaten in an area, please avoid going to the area for some time, because the policemen will come for their revenge and they either they do it directly or indirectly.. Directly ( by shooting at or battering some marked men at the area) indirectly ( by arresting the residents of the area and charging them with numerous framed offences)



6. Avoid confrontations with policemen during protest : avoid daring confrontations with policemen during protests whether peaceful or not, even if you are doing it for a just cause, don't throw stones, pure water etc at them, even if you are in the company of your friends , in a crowd or public gathering, remember a bullet has no person's name on it , in a crowd...it could hit you , or anybody close to you.

You and me both padi mi

They're devil's.

One stopped my friend one day & accused him of using juju poor boy got confused

You won't believe the next thing the idiot devil police said?

If you're not using juju let me shoot you *cocking rifle as he said so* let us be sure you're not using juju.
It's a laughing matter now but you should have been with us just after bonny camp that night.

Awon werey alaso dudu

Mattkent:
Good advice. Btw why can't Nigeria police patrol cars have cameras?

TruthHurts1:
As for the money thing, there is no "legally". EVERYTIME a policeman forces you to part with your money, it is an act of extortion and IT IS THEREFORE ILLEGAL!

logicman:
Anytime I hear about the death of a police officer I celebrate, I don't care if na person papaa or granpaa, all I think is one less baad egg, don't mention or else you go encounter drunk police with loÀded gun b4 d year runs out, naaa me know wetin I don pass tru 4 police hand dis year alone
