On my way to Onitsha recently, a police officer seriously waved me down, pleading that I should help take him in my car to Onitsha where he claimed he served. It's not in my character picking people on the highway, especially if I am working on a tighter schedule. But, the last time I passed that route, I experienced many check points that distorted my timing.

So, I felt that picking the police officer would ease off such distortions this time around. I stopped and picked him. He quickly introduced himself and told me that he was recently transferred to Onitsha from Owerri and that he came into Owerri briefly to meet his former boss.

As I drove the vehicle, I was curiously watching the officer from my side eye. I noticed some kind of restlessness around him. He would look at me as if he wanted to know if I knew something that I should not know. Just by Ogbaku Junction, he shouted, "Oh God, I forgot my house and office keys where I took my lunch at Control Post. Please drop me let me go back and pick it. Thank you for your help" and he jumped down and crossed the road to board another vehicle.

I zoomed off but something in me told me to be careful for nothing. So, I packed my car just after a kilometre away from where I dropped him and began to check the passenger front seat where he sat but could find nothing.

So, I continued my journey. Immediately, I crossed Njaba River, my car just stopped. I was wondering what could have been the cause. So I stepped down. On opening my bonnet I observed that one of my battery heads connector was off. So I rushed to the front passenger door side to get my pliers but to my greatest shock, I saw a loaded pistol. My God! Is this real? Did the policeman forget it in my car? As if, I was being guided by some forces beyond me, I took the gun and threw it inside the bush nearby. I did it in a way that I could still find it if I was asked to get it back. I was able to get my battery connected and zoomed off.

Just by Mgbidi, there was a checkpoint and the policemen asked me to pack. They checked all my documents and they were correct, my driver's license was also fresh but they never wanted to let me go. They began to search the contents of my boot, under my car seats and even under the car. I was almost getting furious but their boss insisted that I must wait till they complete their check. I left them there and walked close to a filling station and that was where God proved himself. I heard one of the officers quarreling with someone on the phone who told him that he was sure that he left the gun in my car and he even mentioned my car plate number to my hearing.

It was now clear to me that God had saved me from the miry clay and placed me on a solid ground. So, after almost four hours of no proof, I was reluctantly asked to go but the programme I was rushing to catch up had gone half way and I decided to return back to Owerri.

Please my friends be careful from picking policemen standing on the highway and waiting for lift. They may not all be real.

May God help us all.

The Nigerian Police needs a total overhaul.


When purpose is not known, abuse becomes inevitable.

The purpose of the Nigerian Police is even a mystery to the Police Chief. What do you expect from the officers?


The Nigerian Police have been the world most unintelligent Force. They lack professionalism and expertise. That's why they always resort to the use of force instead of intelligent investigation.


A gathering of cowards, a collection of untrained and desperate job seekers who had no choice but to accept the police job , a platform for legal thieving and a party of drunks.



The NP needs more than just a change of name (Legislators take note)



THEIR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY NOT TO DESTROY LIVES AND PROPERTIES.

Not all of them are bad. A friend of mine told me of how he had to jump a red traffic light because of his wife who was in labour and bleeding. He was stopped by two young police officers who, after seeing the woman in distress in the back seat, pardoned him and even paved way for him with sirens through a one-way road till he got to the hospital.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Can u imagined what God just did 4 U?

Even as neighbour you must take extra care dealing with them. Only God knows what our Police Officers will turn to in the next 10years.

I stop for no one

1.Anytime I see police waving on the road all i see is:

2. So i always

Indeed bro you are really really smart. Nigeria police will go to any lenght to frame u uo just to extort enomous sum of cash from u....just immagine if you had feel victim to their plans, like play your account would be drained off at least 200k coz they would do eveeything to make u pay...

Better to be a slave in the west than live in a zoo called nigeria. The worst part is that that LovePeddler of a lady called their pro would come out and deny all claims against the police.

Do you know that these rituals killings trending now started with the police ,sars precisely. A guy i know who was arrested confirmed this that sars officials sell abadorned detainees to ritualist for even as low as 50k.

yes na. He said he was lucky coz his people were always checking up on him and his lawyer sister was following up his case thats why he wasnt touched at all...according to him 2 persons from his cell were taken away without returning and each time they would hear a gun shot at a far away distance secs after the detainees were taken away.

I have heard this same story from another person... It seems it is police trend now......


This country self

Where do we get it wrong, the ethics, morality, professionalism, passionate and those characters that can make the country strived are no longer our watched words.. Playing death with someone father, just because of money or promotion.. Glory be to God.. ..

In fact it is not just giving them a ride, make sure u search the vehicle together in case of a stop and search this our NPF are just evil. When you go to report them now, the other guys would be feigning ignorance saying we didn't post any policeman to that spot.

EVERYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY IS JUST DANGER! DANGER
