its with a feeling of absolute empowerment that i found out about the Nigerian Police Website, and the first thing on their FAQ page just made my day. i feel like printing thousands of the police statement there and pasting it all around the streets of Lagos. These toutish looking in uniform stop cars and harrass the living day light out of the drivers just because he is ignorant of the law. their disrespectful and insultive tones, their manner of approach, their lack of education (i have been stoped by one that asked for my fire 'distinguisher) and finally their disregard for the uniform they put on it totally appalling! check out theri website and spread the good news about what you are meant to give to the police at check points!
