A man with the Instagram name, Wf_Tee, has narrated his scary encounter with some police officers in Lagos State.
He said the incident happened around Adekunle axis at Yaba, when he was returning from church today (Sunday) with his three brothers.
Wf_Tee said the policemen suddenly stopped in front their car, making them to forcefully apply the break and in the process, the driver and his brother in front were almost injured.
He said four policemen suddenly jumped down from the car with guns and started ordering them to come down. He said they told them to open their boot and started searching the car without any just cause.
He said,
“Upon questioning their antics they started to become violent with their words, upon noticing this i took the first instance in taking a picture of their car and unfortunately just two of them when they noticed this they attempted to SMASH MY PHONE . When people started gathering they saw they’ve been overwhelmed and made an escape!
“Nigerians what if it was in the night? What if it was just me or any of my brothers in the car? What if we were not vigilant enough and they planted an illegal material in our car? What if the area was not crowded? What if God did not intervene!”
He urged the police to make sure the officers are brought to book and prevented from parading the streets claiming to be working in the interest of justice.

These criminals need to be curtailed… My story : coming back from church today with my 3 bothers, these people suddenly stopped speedily in front our car making us to forcefully apply break almost injuring the driver (my brother) in front. They suddenly jumped down from the car (4 of them precisely) with guns around Adekunle axis at yaba. They started requesting we come down insisting we should open our boot and started searching our car without any just cause…mind you all these were going on the road. Upon questioning their antics they started to become violent with their words, upon noticing this i took the first instance in taking a picture of their car and unfortunately just two of them when they noticed this they attempted to SMASH MY PHONE . When people started gathering they saw they’ve been overwhelmed and made an escape! . Nigerians what if it was in the night? What if it was just me or any of my brothers in the car? What if we were not vigilant enough and they planted an illegal material in our car? What if the area was not crowded? What if God did not intervene!. Please the police should make sure these people are brought to book and prevented from parading our streets claiming to be working in the interest of justice. WHY WOULD HONEST AND TRUE POLICEMEN BE MOVING AROUND IN PRIVATE VEHICLES CLAIMING TO BE ON PATROL… these questions need to be answered please .
