We received over a thousand reports/complaints from highways across Nigeria this week, all bordering on the criminal activities of @PoliceNG officers who have surpassed the threats of armed robbers and kidnappers on our highways. These reports have been corroborated by operators. 
The increase in harassment of road travelers by some members of the #Police force and SARS (tactical squads generally) team. Buses are indiscriminately stopped on the highway, commuters are asked to step down for a prolonged search & privacy violated with illegal phone searches.
Some passengers are detained if not abducted while the driver is advised to proceed on the journey. This act has become too rampant and poses a SECURITY threat on travelers. This illegality has now become a culture & rights of rogue police officers.
Law abiding and tax paying operators (all organized transporters) conveying Nigerians accross the nation have to combat bad roads, kidnapping , arm robbery, etc. and should not have to deal with police harassment, oppression and indiscriminate abductions.
The excesses demonstrated by some officers in the discharge of their duties need to be curbed. This illegality and brigandage won’t buy our embattled Police institution the public trust they badly need. Soon the people will revolt.

Transporters & logistic operators are hereby charged to insist on completing their obligations to their customers on the manifest. They owe them a duty of care. Stop leaving your commuters behind to rogue @PoliceNG officers operating outside the law without warrants.
Unless the subject is an actual suspect in an ongoing investigation proven by a warrant with his name on it, please insist on taking your passengers with you. Also never allow police officers to search anyone’s phone. It is illegal. Get an escort or partner with Àmòtékùn.
The madness may not End until we take drastic actions. Billions have been extorted by rogue @PoliceNG officers on our highways beyond the ransoms paid to terrorists and kidnappers in the past 4years as records show. You owe the commuters that much to protect them. #EndImpunity 🚨
If this madness continues before Christmas we may have to push for legislation that will enable credible citizens to Arm themselves against institutional brigandage and gross impunity since it is yet to be prioritized by Government. Our lives matter. The madness ends now.
