Option number 4 doesn't work in some case, a friend was being trailed and he attempted to enter a police station having informed them of the situation but was turned back.

Thanks for the tips.

Simple, drive into a police station or walk into an open space like a bar or eatery and carefully watch the fellow.

Professionals won’t tail you in just one vehicle. They are on to you with a tracking device that has an overview of your location better than you do. Among the options it’s best to cry to God for help!

Nice tips OP.
in addition know all the military bases in Lagos and head straight for the nearest one to you. They are far more reliable than the police. Abandon your car there for a couple of weeks, matter of fact avoid the car and avoid your house as much as possible until the threat is neutralized. cool tongue

Drive to the nearest pepper soup joint and wait there.

When they eventually arrive there, offer them drinks and nkwobi.

Case closed.

The same police station Late Hon. Odunayo Olagbaju (Misty) drove to and was killed there in 2001.

That was a different circumstance.

Additionally, this is not a foolproof plan but a good attempt at preserving life and property.

The best solution is to keep driving till u locate the nearest forest. Then jump out of ur car, run into the deepest part of the forest and locate a tall iroko tree... Climb it and remain there for hours u'll be safe..

Imagine, for some reasons, you are going back home very late. As you drive through the streets of Lagos, heading home, you notice this same car has being behind you for almost 20 minutes, even after you exited the major road and entered into streets. Don’t freak out just yet, we are going to learn some tips on what to do if you suspect you are being followed by another vehicle while driving, and how to get home safely.

1.Drive In Circles

This is to confirm you are actually being followed. Take four left or right turns and make sure you drive through the same road again (driving in circles), if the car is still behind you, then you have confirmed you are being followed. Similar rule can be applied if you are on the major/express road .Get off the major road into a street and turn through another street and get back on the same major road you came in from, if the car is still behind you, then its confirmed you are being followed.

WARNING: Before you divert into a street, make sure it’s not a CLOSE, so you don’t get boxed in !

2.Take Note Of The Plate Number Through Your Mirror

I know you would be panicking at this point, but taking note of the plate number and features of the vehicle following you, might come in handy later.


3.Maintain Enough Distance

Since we have established for a fact that you are being followed, its time to switch on survival mode. The first line of action is to maintain enough distance between your car and that which is following you.

Get ready to drive like James Bond, just in case the car increases speed and its turned into a hot pursuit.

4.Drive To A Police Checkpoint Or Station

At this point, going home is like suicide .Just drive to the closest police checkpoint or station and report the incidence and provide information (e.g. plate number and describe the vehicle).Or drive to the front of a military base, if there is one close by and report the incidence.

WARNING: I take God beg you.Please don't speed towards a police / military checkpoint or station. Your speed would be perceived as a potential threat and they might open fire(shoot at you).Please slow down when you are approaching the base or check point

If you drive to a checkpoint, most likely they would be arrested and questioned(since they just behind you) or they might drive away or change course out of fear.

5.Go Home If You Are Sure You Are No Longer Being Followed

You have to be very sure you are not being followed, they might switch vehicles !

6.Go Somewhere Else Far Away From Home

Depending on the way the police handles the issue, you might not need to do this. But we know how our men in black can be sometimes. If for some reasons they dismissed your claim, my brother, my sister, sleep in that station with Olopa ooo. Another option is to drive to a very secure hotel and lodge there , if Oga Olopa refused to help your condition. One more option is to call 112 or 767 and make a report.

Kindly make sure you call home(once you are settled ) and inform your family of your whereabouts so they don’t panic .While you lay low in the hotel, start thinking of which of your village people you offended grin grin grin

Don’t forget to share, you might be saving someone.

So hot in Ife then that many houses belonging to the AD members were burn. I remember that of Adekunle Adeniji's (Congo) house, the then chairman of Ife central local government area, whose house he rented in Ajegunle(not far from my house then) was burnt.

Misty's monument is the only thing one can recognize in the Ife City stadium now. So sad that the stadium has been entirely destroyed.
