        The Nigerian Police is really pathetic, harrasing citizens they are to protect and protecting politicians/individuals that should be prosecuted. Thank God she wasn't hit. Cut that crap, the police is not your friend #HumansofLagos

        This further assert my earlier claim & mentions that the NGPolice officers have taken the mantle of leadership in the spheres of Robbery. They are the Govt approved THIEVES, ARMED ROBBERS, ASSASSINS etc. So long as the erring officers aren't reprimanded, tomorrow is dangerous.
