It is disheartening that the police force is more corrupt and now aid the so called yahoo boys in perpetuating their crime, the most painful part of it is their daft mentality , that any young guy out there making money is a Scammer,

I can recall my experience with them at Iwo-road round about, heading towards my office and handling two laptop bags, one for mine client and the other mine, I was approached and asked for what was inside my bag, I can see the bright smile on the officers face, when I told him I have laptop in each of the bags, he demanded I open the bags and they can check the laptops, but to his disappointment he couldn't find anything incriminating.

I even made it clear to him, that I am a computer engineer heading to work, the second officer agreed with me (maybe because of my composure and boldness) and grants that I could leave, but the first officer was adamant and demanded further for my phones, he carefully checked though the pictures and bbm conversation, still couldn't find something incriminating, untill he saw pictures of some cane furniture, and he was like "na ds pix u want use format ur maga abi?" It wasn't funny at all...

Having delayed me for over 20mins already, I got furious and has to raise my voice on him, For crying out loud officer, how on earth is it possible for using a cane furniture to scam, after much argument, he agreed I could take my leave, but while there I noticed some 2 young guys in the rear side of their pick up, with one office handling some cash, I overhead them negotiating cash like it was a transaction,

I didn't know know what had transpired, but I could relate it to the one mrjohnson shared above, the officers might just been collecting thier cut of the cake.

This has to stop, the corruption in the police force, the harassment of innocent people.

God help Nigeria, anyone who has ever experienced such should share their views too.
