Skales, a prominent singer, recently shared his frustrating encounter with the Nigerian Police, airing his grievances publicly.
“My hue for Nigerian police still stands …. very horrible set of humans police wey no get money go dey stress fellow poor man knowing fully well what their doing is wrong…
knowing fully well that they are just taking advantage of power given to them… e be like say na how to stop Benz them dey teach dem sef. they just mount for orchid road shamelessly stressing youths to end up begging for money. no honour at
all us*less people
Like @NigeriapolicePR….. why do you have like all your police men on orchid road like kilode..
they can’t do me sat cos I’m no crim hal but it’s that legal to have like 3 to 4 check points just 2 minutes drive away from each other.
all they do is stop Benz and ask very stup*d questions and when they don’t get wat they want na either insults or begging for money. look into it o cos now I go just dey wear camera for body they post everything online …. its super annoying”
