Story found on Facebook (Author: Ifeoma Onwuka)

I have heard Nigerian police echoed it over and over again that they are our friends but today, I saw that Tijani Adewole 365880 of CTU Owerri Zone is not among our police friends. He stopped us on our way to Enugu this morning and demanded to see our vehicle and driver’s license. On laying hold of these documents, he sized them and claimed that they were fakes.

I asked him to kindly show us the original ones since I knew that I got them from the same office since ten years running now. He quickly diverted and told us that our plate number was a fake one and that he would take us to their base at Owerri to be detained for using a fake plate number. We agreed to go with him. He quickly turned around and asked us to give the sum of N50,000.00, to let us go. When he saw that we were adamant and bent on not giving him a kobo, he demanded for the car key.

He told us to remove all our belongings and come back on Monday to pick our vehicle. We refused and he kept us at a spot for three hours. What broke my heart were the tears from my son's eyes and Tijani’s refusal to listen to our pleadings and that of his superiors. My son was greatly traumatized with all the happenings. When God finally intervened, we were released, with no concrete explanation why we were detained for three solid hours.

With those tears in my son’s eyes he said, ‘Mummy I pray to God not to allow me become a policeman or sees them near me’. I pray that men like Tijani Adewole will stop bringing bad names to the police force.

I had horrible experience with these savages as well

Pitiable!

I sincerely wish the police authorities will not just 'boast' that they will fish out the culprits and punish them squarely.

Let them begin to consciously train and retrain their offices on the need to curb this trend.

The need for ethical and attitudinal re-orientation cannot be over-emphasised.
The police force, and indeed all other security agencies are in dire need of those orientations.
