I'm trying to believe this but no I'm not buying another fable this year.

Egbon, I stand to be corrected.
No policeman is all of Nigeria will extort you 80k for not being in possession of a driver's licence.
No way!

While you are tired of Nigeria.
Nigerians are tired of Twitter liars like you.
Oloshi mkpi!

donchrisville:
Wrong even in the united states they still ask for licence and registration before verification. You dont expect everyone to have their Licence number by heart, which is the unique identifier. Unlike your name that a million people can bare.
Back to the twitter user...his story reeks of lies

Josh44s:
He ain’t lying bro. Police nova hold you night once. At night they are daredevils and not the regular police you and I know in daylight.

Oga, I have driven the length and breadth of this Lagos at odd hrs on Uber and Taxify and never have the police asked for such amount for an offence committed.

I remember one night I passed red light and they chased me with their bike, as they came near me, I simply stretched out 1k note without stopping, they collected it and moved on.

A Twitter user @T_Homegas, took to the platform to accuse the police of extorting him of 80K in Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos last night, for not having his driver's license.

According to the US based Twitter user, he was dragged to the ATM by the police who forced him to part ways with 80K.  His tweet reads;

N5k to police?

N500 will get you the same level of "hailing".

People need to fine-tune their haggling skills.

What if I told u police forced me to transfer 540k into one of their account around 10pm while I was driving home. They stopped me and searched my car only for one plant weed and locally made gun inside my car and claim it’s mine. After that they drove me to a quite spot, used all type of threat to make sure I transfer money to them. After I transferred the money to them, they deleted my alert not knowing my bank also notify me through email. This happened on Delta. I left them to enjoy their lot for 5 days. Reported the matter to my brother in Nigeria Navy and got a magistrate sueing the division. The matter was handed low key. My money paid back and the officers arrested. I was even lucky they didn’t kill me after collecting such amount from me I was told. You have no idea how dangerous Nigeria police are at night. Just be careful bro. This was my experience with police Dec 2016.

Situations are different.

I identified myself, my car was searched, all documents were intact but for the intervention of a retired A.I.G, the police were still finding it hard to let go of me simply because they set their eyes on a huge sum of money I had kept under the car seat. The money in question belongs to the company.

Thank God it was broad day light, I saw the greed in their eyes- they were really out to rob me. This happened at Ogunlana drive some meters away from the office.

Very sad experience.

So sorry to learn about your experience. Outside of Lagos, I try as much as possible to keep away from Nigerian police. The ones in Lagos seems to have a better or cooler relationship with citizens.

If I begin to tell about my experiences with police all across south-west, south-east and south-south areas of Nigeria, I won't know when it will end. I have a lot of experience because I travel a lot (car hire services). There was a time I literally had to keep 500 naira in 100 naira notes, every day, just to share for them on my way home every night.
It was becoming something else until I got an army sticker. From that day, na hailings everyday till today. Most time, manner of approach settles everything

Twitter and lies or isn't it the same police you give 5k and they hail you like a chairman, if it's true they collected over 50k from him it's definitely not for not having his drivers licence.
