My colleague resumed the office today complaining very bitterly, so we got talking. He said his elder sister got a property somewhere in Lagos, she stayed there with her husband for a while, had a talent before they both traveled out of the country.
The other tenant also, relocated leaving the house empty; since nobody was now managing the property some hoodlums started breaking into the premises to steal properties bit by bit.

One of the hoodlums was caught and arrested, so my colleague’s brother went to the station as the bale was informed of this act. The police asked him some question which he detailed the them as he was standing in for his elder sister who was far away in London, so they took the criminal to the market where he sold those items, unfortunately know was recovered, the stolen items where valued at about N1,9MILLION naira.

The criminal was taken back to the station and apprehended, so my friends brother was asked to come on Saturday 23rd September for further action, he couldn’t make it to the station due to his work so he went to the station on 25th of September, the police arrested him collected his phones and locked him. Arrested and locked him for what?
They didn’t say anything about it, only for the police to inform the family that he needs to be granted bill with N150, 0000. Is this a joke?
I’m so confused right now, how can you arrest someone who comes to report an issues and even want him to bail himself with naira.

Please advise

Dog nor dey chop dog.

You get mind dey report one thief to another thief

Ps- Sue the police of abuse of rights

Following..

If you have all evidences get a human right activist. Police is suppose to protect.

This story sounds very strange but this is Nigeria police we talking about.

Gather evidences and receipts, go get a human right activist.

Hmmm...

As soon as I finished reading, what came to my mind was that the brother might have a hand in the selling of the property.
But I may be wrong. It is a mere speculation.


What the police did... was wrong if and only if they were wrong.

You no go mind your business now o, until you turn to witness for court..There is definitely more than what was revealed to you in this case abeg..our police no too dey but for this case baba, mind your Business.

Are you sure you know all the facts of this case?

When the President is a drug baron and head agbero, why won't the police also be criminally inclined?

Bail isn't free again? This country, sha.

I guess it was for him to pay rent money for the police housing the criminal. Police eye dey red whenever them reason money matter. It could also cover service fees for their own investigations into the matter. Leave Naija police. Mumu people. Tomorrow is a public holiday, all the cool out spots in my area will sport illegal checkpoints from men in uniform looking for weekend pay.

Quiet unfortunate.

So police is not your friend in Naija period !!!

Your friend went and believe a corrupt and typical Nigeria Police Officer.

Reporting a thief to a criminal, that’s the result, you and your friend should deal with it

Nawa

We are confused as you so right now,
how can the police arrest someone who comes to report an issues and even want him to bail himself with 150K.

We are sure you don't know everything about this case, cos, it makes no sense.
Come back with more when you have enough details.

The police arrested him collected his phones and locked him.
Arrested and locked him for what?

What was he arrested for?
You don't even know!

You are asking us instead of asking him!!

Creamypie:
U weren't told the full truth

Exactly our point.
Police are not totally useless to just lock him up just laidat!

Olopa I beg sir..

Not easy to prosecute a thief in Nigeria.
Same issue with Thïefnubu and our Polithiefcians.

U can go to court if you are not happy with the small fine

I HATE police❗❗❗
