Good day Nairalanders, I was coming back from the mosque yesterday night after Isha and Tarawi prayer, I entered a keke napep from Hausa Quarter to Eboh when men of the Nigerian Police Stopped the Keke at warri Main Garage Junction, I was asked to come down as I was the only passenger, They seized my phone and ask me to enter their vehicle to which I refuse and that's how they went with my phone telling me to come to their station this morning. this is nothing but oppression and harassment. The Police Officers are from The A-Division in Warri, their patrol vehicle is white in colour and the phone is an Infinix Hot 2. I have called the Police CRU and they said they will see what they could do.
mods move this to FP please let the world know how evil they are.

OP, if you have no skeleton in your cupboard I see no reason why you didn't oblige them in the first place or why you shouldn't go to their station especially with the current delicate security situation in that part of the country.

SolaceAndexIII:
I am just coming back from the station the dpo said I should come back at 1pm that the particular patrol team are not around

Giving them money simply means that you have skeleton on your phone. Go back as the DPO has said.

GODAKPAN:
Meaning your case wasn't registered. Illegality

Even though ur story is incomplete, complicated and lack facts, trying to make front page shouldn't b the ultimate cus u can b prosecuted for such stories wen eventually arrested. I hope Police CRU takes immediate action on this. Something tells me did something OP

Be a gentleman and honour their invitation. Police is your friend.

SolaceAndexIII:

it's like you have never had an encounter with Policemen especially here in Delta

Leave that one jere..wetin small pikin know

JBismarck:


Nope, I was picked more than 3 times at night and didn't argue with them, I got to the station on two of those occasions and didn't pay a dime before I was released. That is Lagos police sha o, I don't know of Warri police.

everydayperson:


Man.. you need to wake up from that purposeless dream of yours quick -- Unfortunately when you are dealing with patently illiterate and massively dubious Policemen - you can only carry along a lawyer and a group of people.. preferably in a bus carrying an NGO logo.

1: They will accuse you of running away from the scene of a robbery where you dropped your phone
2: They will use your phone to send text messages and make calls to robbery/kidnap syndicates to rope you in.
3: They will simply throw you behind the counter, strip you down to your dingaling and have cell mates beat the shiii out of you. you could even die in the cell
4:They demand a bail of N25,000 - N30,000 but usually will take N10k

The Nigerian Police.. both the educated and the illiterate ones... are just the same only one looks stupid and evil, and the other one looks smart and evil.

THE POLICE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.. their prostituting daughters are

THEY WASTED MY TIME, ASKED ME FOR ID CARDS, THEY ASKED FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE PHONE, I TOLD THEM I DONT GO AROUND WITH RECEIPT OF MY PHONE, SO THEY ASKED ME TO GO GET MY ID CARD, THE PHONE RECEIPT TO CLEAR MY SELF AT THE EKPAN POLICE STATION, WHICH I DID, THOUGH VERY PAINFUL, I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO OSUBI TO GET MY PARTICULARS AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE POLICE STATION (ANTI ROBBERY UNIT), SHOWED THEM ALL THEY WANTED, THEY GAVE ME BACK MY PHONE. TILL TODAY THAT POLICE MAN BECOME MY FRIEND, WHENEVER I AM PASSING THROUGH JAPKA ROAD, I JUST HAIL THE MAN "OFFICER HOW FAR NA" HE WONT EVEN BOTHER STOPPING MY KEKE. MIND YOU I NO GIVE ANYBODY KOBO. SO BROS GO COLLECT YOUR PHONE NOTHING DEY HAPPEN, UNLESS YOU TIFF AM OR YOU BUY WITHOUT RECEIPT.

dgr8truth:
I thought of opening a thread, to complain about the, extra judicial killings, harassment, oppression, and intimidation of the police in warri, effurun and udu.

What the op narrated is exactly what they do. They stop you, ask you to bring out your phone and the receipt. If the receipt of the phone is not on you sorry that is the end of the phone same thing with laptops and other electronics gadgets.

The nigerian police are actually our worse enemy. I was arrested about two years by men of the nigerian police by 7pm my offence according to them was buying cow meat by 7pm, a young man I met in the cell was arrested for illegal standing.
