How A Nairalander Dealt With A Police Officer In Lagos by corperscorner(op): 2:47pm On Mar 16, 2016
Typing this alone makes me laugh...

Just over the weekend, i was headed to a friend's wedding driving through the oshodi express way. When I got to somewhere around Gbagada, my car was stopped by two yeye police officers. 'Park here.....park very well, we want to search this vehicle' they shouted. I was like 'Oga, see i'm running late, here are my papers....I quickly handed over my particulars to them so they can hurry up with their wahala and let me go.....but 'Nay'....e be like say this people don dey discuss my matter for their joint tey tey and they probably felt like 'God don catch you today'.

The junior officer asked for my insurance, driver's license, lint permit which I simply reverted by telling him to look through what i had handed over to him earlier. His ego felt bruised a little at this point, then he shouted 'get down from this car....come outside....open this boot, we must search your boot'. I got slightly furious cause I was already late and would be so disappointed if I am to miss the party jollof. So I hurriedly got down, opened my boot and told him to suit himself.

After poking his head here and there, with nothing to pin on me, he asked 'when last did you service your fire extinguisher'. Mehn, i was shocked and didnt know when i said 'What the Fvck'. Oga which one be dis, you are wasting my time. Suddenly, his boss who had been observing the situation from a distance came closer and said, whats the situation here, then his junior partner in crime narrated how he had successfully gotten a customer for the day and the Oga quickly dashed off to my driver seat to pull out my key from the ignition.

At this moment, I couldnt contain my rage, who would have thought these vermins would pull such a stunt. So i switched to my bedroom voice and approached the one forming boss. Oga, abeg I don late, wetin u wan make i do. The officer now said, 'you lagosians think you are smart, now you are doing what you should have done earlier abi, what if your engine goes up in flames and your fire extinguisher refuses to work, you will say its the devil abi. And when your vehicle burns, it will end up creating useless traffic on the road disturbing the activities of other innocent Nigerians. We are taking this vehicle to our office, just get into the car and lets drive to our station. My guess was that he said this to look very serious and diligent as we were by the road side. So i hopped into my car and he quickly jumped beside me.

I went like....officer abeg, wetin i fit do to clear this mess, I am running late for a function. My dressing probably convinced him as my Owambe outfit was heavily starched. So he demanded for 20k on spot....

20k ke....oga,....i don have that amount on me. 'You are not serious then, as big as you are....and you are driving camry muzzle' he replied instantly. He probably must have saved the line. At this point, I dramatically placed my head on the steering forming pensive....LOL. So he lighted up with his brilliant suggestion. 'So you can not use the atm like your colleagues abi....okay' he said. His join-body officer shouted from the back seat.....Oga this man is wasting our time here. We should arrest him...

At this point...a bright stunt suddenly jumped into my head. I turned and told the one forming Oga that I run a corporate account and I can only transact with a cheque book. He said....'hmmmm, na so...abeg move this car lets go to our station'. Then I quickly reminded him that there is a jail term penalty on ground for issuers of dud cheque just to convince him I can never issue him a fake cheque. He hesitated for a while then agreed to collect a cheque from me.

I wrote him a cheque of 20k with a VERY FAKE SIGNATURE.....LOL. Then told him to please reconsider me and be merciful. Just another stunt to make him think I am not happy parting away with the cheque I had signed off. He said...'dont you know you have committed a very serious offence, my advice to you is to service that thing in your boot before someone else catches you. You never can tell, they might not be as nice and merciful as us'. Then they both jumped out. I said thank you and drove off.

On my way.....i kept laughing at how I had played the fools....NOW FAST FORWARD.

Just yesterday, the one i had issued the cheque in his name attempted to make a withdrawal on my account with the cheque when my bank called me to say someone is at the counter with my cheque but the signature on it is totally different. I quickly exclaimed to the bank satff 'Please arrest him, my cheque book has been stolen, I called customer care but no one answered my call and my intention was to come and file a formal complaint with your bank at the close of business grin

I bought the officer correct GOBE.....then hung up. A few minutes later, my account officer called to say the man claims to have been issued the cheque by the owner of the account. Then I told him to ask this man they are talking about if he knows me by name.....I also reminded them that I am aware its an offence to issue dud cheques, so why would i want to send myself to jail......kikikikikiki grin

Before I knew whatsupp.....my account officer sent me a text to say he has been detained by the bank's security personnel and would be arrested as soon as they are able to reach the nearest police station. I simply said 'thank you, may God bless you'

Currently feeling fly................LMAO grin
