I really hope so too, bro the anguish is still in me.. Whenever I think about it, i still feel pained, that fellow men like me extorted me in broad daylight just because they were all heavily armed with their AK47, even challenging me to misbehave so they can shoot at me... I just had to be calm cos I don't wanna be another statistic.. Dead body no dey do explanation.
wheres your Twitter post link? I did you use the trending hashtags in order for the post to gain more audience??

Shame on the Nigerian Police.


They have failed to provide regular enlightenment to its men, hence their primitive behaviour.

How does one, having contraceptives in his possession, be tagged a rapist? Na wa o!

Good that you recorded the incident. Las las, they will loose their jobs when this incident gets to limelight.


cc: Litigator,

Your expert advise is needed please.


Wow! This is serious and I empathize with you.

Some bad eggs in the Nigeria Police Force will never learn. They keep soiling the name of the force with their greed and unethical behaviour.

This is no longer news, but there are laws in this country and we must ensure those laws are implemented one way or another.

However, I must commend your intellect. You have done a deligent job. It's obvious you were unnecessarily extorted and humiliated, which ought not to be the case.

From your story, it appears you are not pained about the funds those unscrupulous elements fraudulently obtained from you per say, but you are pained by the fact that they humiliated you and extorted you for no just cause.

Tag me @ mr_powei, @ segalink, @malachy_odo1, and @onlinebar.

We will see what we can do to ensure you get justice.

Sanity will return to the system when we learn to fight for our right and ensure justice is done.

I commend your effort.

But it's quite funny that members of the Nigeria Police mandated to investigate crime and criminalities don't know the difference between contraceptive and abortion drugs. Na wah.

Yahooze self dey NPF and na there e for many pass. cheesy

The govt won't weed them out for us. Since we are their employer and our taxes pay their salaries, we must ensure we sanitize the system by ourself and with our own hands.

This OP own is very good. Now that he has pushed it on social media, the authorities will rush to do eye service and form James Bond because he has a very shameful evidence indicting their agency that will be very hard to deny. My question is what about people who don't have secret video recordings or voice, is there any justice for them? sad

OP, just of of curiosity, since you're not female, why are you going about with contraceptives? It could actually raise suspicions since our police are not very educated, if you bought them for your girlfriend, keep them at home.

Sorry about your experience

My name is David, On the 11th of July 2020 at around 11:50am, I was stopped by men of the Nigeria Police Force(Safer highways patrol) at the Ogori/Ageva road, Okene Local Govt, Kogi State. I was going to the market in company of a commercial motorcyclist whom I boarded his bike. When we got to the checkpoint, A police officer, ordered us to stop and requested to search my bag which I obliged.

While searching through my bag, they found a couple of drugs, precisely 4 tablets of paracetamol, 8 ferrous tablets, 10 folic acid tablets and a tablet of postpill, they ignorantly asked what the postpill tablet is used for, I told them it's a contraceptive, the officer who searched my bag obviously didn't know what a contraceptive is, I told him it is used to prevent pregnancy and next he exclaimed “Guy I don catch u, u dey use am do abortion abi”.

First, I thought it was all a joke, I laughed and started explaining all over again, before I could finish, one of the officers roughly pushed me from behind, held my trouser and ordered me to sit on the bare floor, I obeyed and tried not to be rude since they were all armed, they labeled me a a rapist and a muderer since they concluded contraceptives are used to commit abortion.

After a while, one of the officers came to me acting all friendly and asking me to negotiate with him so he can help me beg his colleagues because if I am taken to the cell at the area command I will spend nothing less than 3 days in custody asides the heavy torture I would receive. At this point, I secretly started an audio and video recording of the events.

While they kept harassing me, a woman who knows me came along and intervened, all her pleadings fell on deaf ears as the officers were insistent on taking nothing less than N100,000. At last they settled for N10,000 after all the harrasment, time waste, torture and emotional trauma. I have uploaded the video and audio recording of the incident as evidence.

I have posted it on the police PCRU twitter page, whatsapp number and even called their numbers. On whatsapp, the message has been read but no significant reply, and whenever I call their hotlines, they keep directing me to the social media pages and they don't reply. I also posted on twitter with the pictures and video evidence, but I haven't been able to garner enough retweets.

I am calling on the I.G of the Police Force, the Kogi State Commisioner of Police, all other relevant bodies and well meaning individuals to help me get justice, retrieve my money and bring this corrupt officers to book as soon as possible.


Pls Front page, I need help... Thanks


Op, I believe you have a credible case especially when backed with the audio. Avoid meeting anyone that schedules a meeting here. Their colleagues are around, lurking about like chimpanzees.

I wish someone could suggest a Twitter influencer. I want justice to be done.

Naija police are official rogues in uniform. Upon all the cashout during covid 19.

So it means if you were really a rapist, they would have freed you after a bribe of 10k? This is how criminals go scot-free and crime continue to multiply in the society.

You were wise not to drag issues with them. Unfortunately many have lost their lives to unjust police brutality.

I understand your pain but I need to ask...

Why are you going around with contraceptives?

Is that not supposed to be the preserve of ladies

You just sounded dumb. Its like asking a lady why she should be found with a condom. Which of the laws says contraceptives are only preserves of the ladies. Cant a man take them along for the lady? You have the mentality of those policemen, are you one? I suspect you are.
