My fellow nairalanders, I was baffled yesterday on my way coming from Lagos state to Ekiti state, starting from osun, I encountered close to 30 checkpoint till will get to iyin Ekiti precisely, and all of this checkpoint ensure they collected cashes ranging from 50 naira to 200 naira.

It got to a particular point, we met some soldiers in one of the checkpoint, there was a fire burning at the other end of the road almost getting to the main road were we and other cars queued as ordered by the soldiers, and lo and behold, we passengers started screaming, let us get out from this fire area, the next thing their superior will say is , "WHO SCREAMED? EVERYBODY OYA COME DOWN" I was shocked, all because of 50 naira

Another checkpoint we got to , a particular policeman was even telling the driver when he said he has no 50 naira "I CAN SEE THE 100 NAIRA IN YOUR POCKET, I WILL GIVE YOU 50 NAIRA CHANGE". I opened my mouth for five minutes and couldn't close it. I was forced to read the name on his tag , he goes by the name "OGUNSEMOYIN" couldn't decipher the other name on the tag.

My question is, when will T. Fare not Increase because of this theives in uniform?


you cant say you want to come downtown and go back to Lagos the same day, it is not possible, because thus riff Raff's succeeded in wasting 2 hours of my time on the road, a journey of 5 hours eventually took 7 hours due to incessant stopping on the road

and my conclusion is should we blame iron buhari regime or selfish nature of this humans?

cc; lalasticlala front page please , this is a society menace that need to be curb

Fraudpoint,but still a hustling ground. The salary of this people do not worth their stress. Commot eye for them. Abeg

on a five hours journey you met just thirty and you are complaining? from iyana-iba to ajangbadi is not up to 10mins drive, but i can tell you I met 6 checkpoints on the road.



the annoying part is that they even give numbers to motorists sef




but honestly it's not fair, that is extortion and I think the NPF should do something about it it's really tarnishing their image as an institute.

how many people's salary worth the stress in Nigeria, is that an indication that every Nigerian must hustle on a wrong foot

Robbery point I'll say

Thought they removed them


This country self

Anything about police must involve corruption

Can they ever change?

It has been like that for as long as I have ever been traveling so this isn't a buhurry thing. They simply can never change, it's like there is a crazy spirit attached to being a police officer here in Nigeria as they can go from 0-100 in a sec.

May the Lord save us all.

100Naira checkpoint. Its no more the usual 20naira o

30 checkpoints in less than 5 hours... You people will just pick up ur phone and type unsubstantiated lies about the Nigeria Police then dump here and cc. Lalasticlala and the next thing its on front page. It is a disgrace to this forum and I am personally disappointed at lalasticlala. You dont seem to understand the power of information because if you do you wouldn't allow unconfirmed reporting or write ups from unknown individuals or unknown media platform head straight to front page. Is nairaland a dump? This has to stop.

You can ban for the next 10years that's ur problem.



#shame.

give police N20 and see wetin go happen to you.

I can relate same experience on Owerri-Portharcourt road..sights of brazen extortion and exploitation has made those men on uniform a huge joke. U can imagine the confidence a potential armed robber, militants or suicide bombers will exude on getting to checkpoint knowing that he or she will evade arrest provided they pay their pass fees.
Buhari's administration is treating this issue with kid glove
