Men In Black(MIB)

"STOP THERE", the man dressed in Black shouted.He was so sure the man driving the vehicle was going to comply,reason was that he was pointing a gun at his car,plus his colleagues were standing with him too.His colleagues were also dressed in black and were carrying guns too. These men are not your friendly nieghbours and this scene is not strange to Nigerian Citizens,I know this scene was never in the movie,I mean the sci-fi movie by Will Smith cause thats what you were all thinking of when you saw the title"Men in Black",but trust me these guys create better scenes that will make you scream. The Nigerian Government Name for these Men is the "Nigerian Police". One good news is that these men have been removed from our roads as they cause more menace than the actual robbers themselves,they cause more havoc than good on our roads.There have been series of accidents caused by them due to illegal extortion by the roadside and many citizens have lost their lives in the process. If every Nigerian was to present his or her own encounter with these Men In Black,am sure their stories will never end. The funniest part is that 80% of the Nigerian Police run away when Robbers are terrorizing the Society,not that I blame them,maybe the Government didnt provide them with the actual weapons that could match that of these Robbers but that is not an excuse for them to cause problem for te Nigerian citizens. I know a friend that use to tell me that if he sees a police and a thief and he has a chance to shoot one,he would shoot the Police rather than the thief,when i asked why?,he said"Because if I shoot the theif,the Police might end up arresting me for murder or as an accomplice rather than a medal for my braveness,but if i shoot the Police,then maybe the thief will just flee".I laughed but deep down I thought he could be right because our Nigerian Police have displayed worse behaviour that has brought much pain and sorrow to the citizens they swore to protect and one would wonder what the actually stand for?. Here are short stories descibing some of the injustice shown by the Nigerian Police: Story 1:This one happened in Ogun State some years back,A man went into the bush to ease his bowels when he surprisingly came across a "Ghana Must Go" bag full of money running into millions.He decided to act like a good samarithan and he took the money to a nearby Police Station only for him to be questioned and later arrested as a suspect to a robbery,nothing was said again about the money he found in the bush.My guess is that, they didnt want to share the loot with him so they framed him up. Story 2:This one is similar to the first story,A man found that his account was boosted with amount going into millions and when he alerted the police,they arrested him for fraudulent activities. Story 3:A man was shot down by A Police Officer in Ibadan,Oyo State Capital(Nigeria) because he refused to part with N20(Twenty Naira). This isnt the first time we have heard about Trigger Happy Policemen that loves to discharge bullets for fun and their removal from the road might have made our road safer but there are many other ways they still make us suffer unlawfully. Their common method is to arrive at the crime scene after an hour or so after the crime has taken place and arrest innocent citizens within the vicinity.They arrest as many as they can and put a bail out price of like N15,000 (Fifteen thousand naira) and above depending on the crime committed in the area.So many innocent people are in the prison for a crime they know nothing of while the guilty ones walk around freely. There are rumours that there is a particular prison in the Eastern Part of Nigeria,suspects are put in cells,when the cells can no longer accommodate them and nobody is coming to bail these suspects,what they do is kill and bury them to create room for other suspects coming in, when the relatives of these people come there,they tell them they have been transfered to their Headquaters. We know its not all of them that are bad and some have risked their lives protecting we citizens,we appreciate those ones and Pray that God should reward them and their respective families,but the bad eggs among them should be exposed and prosecuted accordingly for their injustice and wickedness. We also Pray we dont fall into their hands but for the mean time, "Flee from the MEN IN BLACK(MIB)" God Bless the Citizens of This Great Country...... God Bless the Nigerian Police.... God Bless Nigeria...... God Bless the World.......
