What name can we call the nigeria police, hero or terror. in some part of the country, they prefered name is fine bara (begger), some prefer to refer to them as armed robber, simply due to their mode of conduct on the high ways. infact, what this men in black constitute in the society is far contrary to what is supposed to be their obligations to the society. they carry out some outrageous activities, on the pretex that they are doing their work and protecting the citizens. for instance an innocent man(bus passenger) arrested in a bus, cos the bus was suspected to be the used in a robbery scene. the man was charged to court without investigating and basically because he cannot afford the amount named for his bail, where they claim that bail is free. the guy spent 7years in remand for a case he knew nothing about.
on the lagos to ibadan expressway, they cause o lot of avork, an 18 passenger bus approaching lagos was forced to stop at the front of a running trailer simply because he refused to give them 20naira. then caused a serious accident. funny enough immediately that happened, they disappeared from the spot. and so many atrocities like that. now it is a normal saying that POLICE ARE COMING CALL THE ARMED ROBBERS.
Please post more testimonies to this effect.
