You won't believe there was a time in Nigeria when security officials 'humbly' arrest individuals.Pictured above is Prof. Wole Soyinka being arrested by a police officer in the good old days.

See how the police give am enough space unlike the present police that will hijack the hell out of a suspect until one part of the suspect's waist becomes higher than the other......

I hope Daura supermen services DSS are viewing this pic.

who is escorting who?

That's because they were not wearing [size=50pt] BLACK UNIFORM[/size] then

Imagine Wole walking with swags.

Then the police had pride

Dope@Wole

Lies! I dont see anybody getting arrested and taking a picture, looking very relaxed. They were probably taking a stroll.

that's how police still arrest well known Nigerians today so don't use Soyinka case as a yardstick on the method of Nigerian police then.if you are nobody in the 60's or a radical Naija police will beat you before you reach station sef,listen to fela songs.

Gazing from the pic, I don't think he looks arrested.

GBAM! ALSO THE #20 NOTE WAS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT AS BRIBE AND IT'S THE SALARY OF SOME CIVIL SERVANTS WHEN NAIRA HAD A 'GOLDEN VALUE'.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures especially cases of indiscriminate arrest!

The crime then and now are not the same.

Secondly, the police then are not wearing blacks

Lai Muhamed is not a minister then, all infos were the truth nothing but the truth.

There was no political party like APC

Pen is mightier than sword.

when "Indian hemp" and "Shekpe" wasn't a part of their diet.....

Its abt the person being arrested.police has been daft since BC

see the policeman thigh as e thick...

Good ol days , When police wear bumshots....

Like a king he walked into prison, then The Man Died.
