My Experience With “traffic Police” In Lagos by Oooops: 2:27pm On Dec 10, 2019
I had a funny experience with the traffic police in Lagos.

I went to Slot office at Medical road, Ikeja to buy a phone. When I got there, I met some guys who asked me to park by d side of d road for a fee which I agreed.
Went inside, did the transaction and on coming out my car was gone.

Asked around they said traffic police towed the car away to their office.
I went to their office the man I met said I should pay 30k (undocumented) but later said the least he can do for me is 15k
I said I don’t have 15k as it was his boys that collected 200naira for parking fee and asked me to park.

The man insisted that I wouldn’t be able to take the car without the 15k exactly. Note this was on a Friday, hence I need the car for the weekend.

He insisted I pay 15k to him before he releases my vehicle.
I went to make withdrawals. Got the 15k and got my phone to record.
I recorded him as I handed him the money.

After counting, he then decided to release my vehicle.
I collected the vehicle, left the office and parked in a very safe spot.
Then I came back for negotiation. Went to his boss, showed him the video and promised it will trend if I don’t get my money back.

Prior to that I had informed my friends, sent the video to them for evidence, told them where I was and the police station address. Called a lawyer friend too and sent him the video. Just Incase I am framed or arrested or locked up.

He took my phone, watched the video extensively, he called his police colleagues and they watched it together then he held on to the phone.
He then offered me a very chilled bottle of drink. While drinking I heard him ask;
WHAT IS YOUR DEMAND

I asked for my money back (As that was all I had left) in return I’ll delete the video.
Las Las they gave me my money!!! I gave them 2500 for the inconvenience, took my drink and my phone and walked away!!!

That is how God saved me. I actually thought it would have been worse as I was prepared for the worse!!!

Below is a picture of the man counting my money!!!

Moral of the story; Na once person dey die, better don’t be a coward. Have a backup plan especially when you are being defrauded. But be cautious too.

Mods pls let people see this and learn

I learnt early that even though we are lawless and corrupt, everyone is afraid. If you know your rights, they let you go, after all there are a thousand gullible people out there. Why get into trouble because of one person.
