NGArmyTerrorist: May God help you to move out of that Zoo to a foreign country where life is better and sweet. Someone that is hungry ,who went out to get snacks for himself, labeled a bad boy and taken to station just like that. You can see while some of us called it a Zoo! And those TERROIST in uniform are worst than demons. I pray that foreign country would not be US sha, because out there you are already stereotyped as a criminal and gets killed by the police easily because of the color of your skin. |

Arrest everyone? The other people were driving in the direction that the entire road had been converted to. I had turned right into the road and was intercepted immediately by the police. I was from out of town and didn't know the road had been converted to a uni-directional road. I had always used that route before and it was bidirectional
So no, there were no "everyone" to arrest Oh Understand now. |

Wetin that money go buy inside cell It's usually in prison they burst your yansh, the situation in Nigeria correctional facility is a slave and master relationship. You don't talk to the warden standing, you MUST squat at every given point in time talking to the warden. The female sanitary pads are usually cotton wool and in the event you don't have any they use a piece of clothes. Conjugal visit are a rare privilege. If you new (maybe your case is not so strong let say you hit someone and the person is in the hospital recuperating and it a court case-if the person dies, if you don't have a good lawyer you will languish in prison forever), they are bed spaces for sale, 500 a night, 1000 a night then we have the executive suit and the also have grades, the one with AC, without AC and WC, with AC and domestic staff, with AC, domestic staff, TV and the perks that comes with it- Bode George enjoyed this while in prison. Their cell block is different from the rest of the prison. Watch closely these VIP don't come to court with handcuffs, they may at the intial stage afer some time, no handcuffs and indication that the have been moved to the VIP. In the prison cell I was, we had the Christian leaders and the Muslim leaders. We were about 356 in a very small prison cell. Once it 5:00am we all wake and give space in this small cubicle to the Muslim to pray, no one dares make a noise while they are praying, once they are done they give way to christian to do their morning devotion. The food is nothing to write home about, if you see egusi, stew, beans, rice and eba you prefer to go hungry that eat it, but this prisoner eat it with joy, I couldn't not eat it the very first 3 days, they kept telling me, "you go die of hunger". Nobody told me, I had to start to eat and eventually enjoyed it. We all had duties assigned to us, from cleaning to washing, weeding the grass and maintenance. There is also classes for vocational courses. Your cell mates were rapist, robbery, serial killers, cultist and many awaiting trial for crimes they know nothing about. All these guys have compelling stories to tell only a few who have been sentence to death either by hanging or life in prison actually open up and tell you how, why and the genesis of their being in prison. Some of these guys in prison had some warder on their payroll (how do you explain a cell mates telling you he watched the champion league match and had access to his wife and kids and had a medical check up. K, who is awaiting trial for 8yrs. D, is petty thief has been in and out of prison for years H, been in prison for a crime he know nothing about V, has been in prison since 90's, probably has less than 3 yrs in his sentence, but says he prefers it here (prison) than outside. Donation (such as toiletries, soap, detergent, biscuits, noodles) doesn't get to the prisoner, they are sold those those that have cash. In prison cigarettes is like cocaine 10 people can share one stick 1 person one drag. Warden are heartless and wicked Nigeria Police toture dey learn for were warder dey.

Upon all the evidence i showed them,even my student ID card, that am not among them. Even my neighbors begged and begged them, they didn't agree, they still took me to the police station and i bailed my self with 4k back then 2015. One of them was even threatening me with a gun that i should give a statement that am a cultist,that's why i don't pity most them when ever they are killed. Some of them are just are just naturally wicked. Na cases like this dey make me clap for those people wey dey slaughter police like chicken.

Threaten to call soldiers, talk as if you are related to big lawyers. Talk as if you work with Transparency international. Be bold.
Next rule: DONT BEG!!! They never slap you before.. they disgraced my guy thy resisted arrest.. them beat am and drag am on ground publicly before taking him to station and later released him freely after advising him not to drag with police next time

KiNg0G: This is my second time to be unlawfully arrested and taken to a police station. yesterday their defense was they heard a complaint some boys were constituting nuisance around the neighborhood so they came to perform what they call Raid. I been unlucky,I had to go get barbecue and banana around 8:30pm just to have as my dinner...I needed something light. The keke I entered on my way back I was stopped, they ask for my ID, which I didn't have on me. Buh I told them what I do for a living....just because they saw Tatoes on my hand... They put me in the back of the car along with some boys that they have already hold..I had to sleep cell for the sec time in my life yesterday.. before morning came, I gave them my statement and got bailed out by my landlady.
here are the top 7 things I observed
1) HOLD YOUR GATE FEE
you be surprised what gate fee am I talking about, are you entering a concert that wizkid and davido are performing artists with ladies twerking, no bro..it's a cell filled with lowlife criminals of different crimes.. hardened criminals..as soon as they see a fresh person about to be put inside cell.. THEY ALWAYS EXPECT YOU TO COME IN WITH MONEY. because for them survival is what they all about..and to survive they need food daily, because many of them have been abandoned there with no body coming to bail them out.
I was forced to pay #500
2) COUNTER OR INSIDE CELL YOUR POCKETS DECIDE
can you believe I was told by one slim female police clerk, that if I was to stay in the counter till day brake I have to pay #1500. it wasn't new to me, I had only 500naira and some change left after the barbecue purchase..I pleaded with her to take it but it fell on deaf ears..some guys that came with me quickly sorted them self out and they were told to pull their bosers and sit in chair at the corner...while the rest of us who couldn't afford was taken inside cell.
3) BAil is not free
Why was I arrested? They saw me with the barbecue and banana I bought on my way home, but they still took me to the station because I had a Tatoe like who does that?.in a civilse county...I told them I was into music during my teen days, even til now, I still get called for features and mentoring.. but this police they Just didn't care to hear from me at that time....I knew they took me as a meal ticket.mthey said am a bad boy because I have a Tatoes.
4) YOUR SOCIETAL STATUS DOSENT MATTER INSIDE A NIGERIA POLICE CELL
Those hardened criminals don't care if you own 3 venzas or benz...range rover. Or if you've build an estate or operate in real estate. They just need you to maintain and follow the laid out rules.... they don't care if your a big man or not...INFACT THE MORE AJEBOYISH YOU LOOK, the weak they sense you to be. so you have to be focus, shine your eyes and behave like them.. or try to.
They say when In romans behave like the romans.
5) SENIORITY DEPENDS ON THE STRONGEST
Yes in a Nigerian cell, it doesn't matter who first came, but who is perceived as the strongest.... but the person who has been there for a week has a higher advantage than someone who just came that paid gate fee to get a place to lie down with the smell of piss and shît besides him. Why? Because no how you came in and meet 5 guys inside..those guys has already bonded since morning...gisting... telling stories and the rest. So that just came need to use your head...if not those guys will change it instantly towards you.
6) YOUR FOOD IS OUR FOOD
I DON'T think I have to explain this, is self explanatory...the cell member's has its own governing Bodies from PRESIDO TO DIFFERENT POST. so if your bail was delayed, and your people brings food for you. The right thing to do is call them to join you.. you can't just eat it Alone. It's never done that way on my 2 experience.
7) EARLY MORNING SINGING DEVOTION
ON my 2 experience, 5am everyone is expected to wake and the morning devotion starts between all the cells in the police station trust me if it's 4 cells...the 4 cells will coordinate the morning devotins together singing praises and worship to God almighty for life...then the presido leads them in prayer.
Note: this is not to discredit the nigeria police system but for we all to come together and share and relate With our different experiences in life thanks ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)
The way they are hardened criminals so are they innocent people who are Just arrested unjustly..

She just closed from her shop and was coming home. The next thing is police man on a bike forced her to enter their Danfo.
