With all these nonsense happening, do you still want to stay in Nigeria, or you go japa?

Pray may Nigeria no happen to you.

As for me, I'm relentlessly seeking ways to leave this damnable country, and God-willing I will.

Sahara Reporters needs to be fact Checked thoroughly especially after that their story that a
lady in Zamfara was charged to Sharia court for conversion to Christianity .
many had finished fighting
Zamfara Govt before it was confirmed as a lie
People had declared legal War on Zamfara and were determined to to go all the way to
the Supreme Court

We don’t think Sahara reporters has apologised for that fake news story up until now

Why did the family bribe the officers with such a humongous amount?
It's clear they have the means,so why didn't they employ this same SAN or any other lawyer as soon as they knew where he was taken to.
I bet if this same petition or any other had been written by a lawyer when he was arrested, no physical harm or any threat to his life would have been made by any officer.
My theory and gut feeling is that the guy was involved in some criminal activity,so the family was boxed in a corner and being desperate to see him come out of detention,they raised that huge sum.
Now that he has safely returned to his foreign base,they are now writing petitions,knowing he cannot be brought to the court to answer for whatever crime he was involved in.
Who pays such huge sum when you know your family member is innocent?
Even Evans with his well documented criminal past has not been assaulted or threatened with harm once his case came to the public sphere and lawyers were involved.
Anyway, it's a case of 2 sets of criminals trying to outsmart each other.
Petition indeed.
For good 4 months or when he was in Abuja you didn't petition the IGP because you didn't want whatever he was involved in to become official,making his coming out and traveling back to base impossible.
The criminal officers involved saw his case,know if they throw threats around,mainly that of him being prosecuted and some physical harm if left in detention,to spice things up and bargain well,money would be raised to avoid likely prosecution.
I can also bet if the guy had still been in Nigeria,this same petition won't have been written and they would have wanted everything kept mush mush.
Only a fool will argue,not cooperate with gunmen.

exactly my thoughts. The guy in question is not innocent from the background of this story. The petitioner refused to mention the crimes the police officers accuse the guy of.

A man who went to stone the devil, and slam his head before a juju, came back home, instead of you people to allow him rest for the stress he ed thru the pushing and shoving, body odor, fart, and noise, these wicked terrorists on government black uniform, licensed to steal with guns still came and took him away on chains as if he was a slave being shipped to the sugarcane field in Virginia.

The Nigerian Police have no scale of rating in this world because there's no standard. If there is any standard to rate anything worst, criminals, unprofessional, killers, terrorists, they will still beat that standard.

Thanks for asking well-thought out questions.

Our reporter has been following the case of one Okubajo Segun, who returned to Nigeria from to invest in Nigeria due to his father’s advice, Okubajo Kehinde.

On returning to Nigeria, he decided to go into farming to sustain the Federal Government’s food supply chain.

He decided to purchase some Hilux pickups for his farming business, not knowing that that would be the beginning of his predicament in the hands of the Nigeria Police.

The car dealer was an informant to a team of inspectors from the Force CIID Abuja.

Accepting without conceeding,or how is that grammar even phrased again?
So ask yourself as soon as he came out,why didn't they immediately petition the IGP through this same lawyer on the extortion by the officers?
At least once he was out of detention with the official petition,his life would have been relatively safe.
Why wait till he travelled back to his base abroad?
this incident as reported was almost 8months ago,last year.
Why wait till now.
Of course, nobody is disputing the fact that the majority of Nigerian policemen and women are criminals out to extort,frame and kill if warranted,but one thing every policeman or woman doesn't want is to have his or her name splattered on the news or SM for a criminal act because the police would take action,not out of them necessarily wanting to clean the force,but to give the impression to the outside world that criminal elements are being dealth with.
Besides,being based abroad and maybe even likely holding a foreign port gives him added leverage to have his case handled professionally.
I still stand by my theory:both parties have soiled hands.
Are you sure you read the write up? The write a petition last year November that wasn't attended to. I think you should read again and make necessary correction

Many Nigeria police officers are bandit's and terrorist in uniform.
Many Inspector's of Police are worst than kidnapper's and hire assassin's.
The police Authorities know too well that many police inspectors are a threat to national security, but they kept quiet because they benefits from their evil proceeds.

Did you even bother reading the report you linked?
He purchased Hilux for farming,informant told police officers,they arrested him at the gate,made him to transfer all his money to Bureau D Change agent.
How does that sound to you?
Put yourself in the man's shoe:you made a whooping 150m from your years of hardwork,someone with uniform saw it in your phone and threatened you with a hishy washy allegation of crime and you because of that transferred the whole money you honestly worked hard for.
I know it sounds foolish but most people that made that kind of money through honest,hardwork with nothing to hide,would rather stay in that detention and dare the police to do their worse or take him to court.
A family that can engage a SAN would definitely do any running around that would prove their son innocent.
also,this is someone with a family that will know where he was taken to and by who.
Even a child would find this story laughable.
Millions were given as bribe,yes to corrupt officers,even maybe a DIG,yes.
But I don't see a honest man giving that kind of money as bribe.
This version of your link also contradicts the one written by the lawyer that claims the 145m or so was raised through loans,families,businesses and friends.
So clearly,the story has things that are hidden and not true

This stuff happens. You cannot bring northerners to police southerners. Those northerners are are different caliber of people. Meanwhile a southerner police was killed in the north because they say he was too strict. This is my encounter with police. The Yoruba ones always respect themself. They look at face before they tackle you. If you look responsible they will never disturb you. The igbo policemen are very friendly and always smiling but they will tax you small. Find something for yua brothers na make we take buy drink as this sun dey hot like this. You give them 500 or 1k they hail you and you drive on. But you see anytime hausa police stop me ? It's always an unpleasant encounter. 2 weeks ago in lekki this hausa police was extremely disappointed that my papers were complete that he refused to let me go. He said he would seize my car because my physical card license was not with me but I had the photocopy and showed him. The nigga say I must have physical copy. He wan tow my car. But after like 10 minutes his senses returned. I think he knew if he towed me his oga will say but the man has driver's license na so why did you tow his car ? These northerners should not be policing the south

This is the rubbish endsars was meant to end
The youths stood united on one front, with unquenchable desire to end this rubbish. But what happened?
After the government tried so hard to stop the youths and it was not working, then used the last arsenal they had, Tribalism. And that worked perfectly

Today the youths have returned to being hunted unjustly by efcc, police etc. That one time opportunity failed, I don't think we will have another one. Unless we get leaders that really care very much about the masses
Those same criminally minded corrupt youths that are just like their parents abi?

If the money did not get to the I.G's pocket, those corrupt officers are in serious trouble.

I am sure the retired D.I.G who took the lion share allegedly, would start thinking of running away from Nigeria to Canada or UK..

If he stepped on the wrong foot during his time in power then I doubt if going to Canada or UK will help his case and the last time I checked Nigeria has extradition treaties with this countries.
