When I say that the Nigerian Police is forever on the side of whoever is richer or more influential, it's for a good reason.
I was recently involved in this matter where the Police simply wanted to intimidate a man out of his property at the behest of a LAGOS BOY.
Thread.
Chief Obioha, 76yrs, is the owner of the property at 24A ikoyi Crescent, Lagos.

3years ago, the @followlasg demolished the property of a Client at Agege Motor Road, Lagos because according to them, he illegally converted the use of the property from private to commercial.
We sued the govt, gladly.
Thread

If you're ever invited to a Police establishment, there is every chance that you will be detained no matter how weak or strong the case against you is.
Once you have being asked to write your Statement under caution or not, these are the things you must expect.
Thread.
Most of our Police officers would ordinarily want to dictate or railroad you into writing what they want.
Refuse.
Write what you know to be the truth in response to the Petition or allegation against you.

I promised to do a thread of some prominent cases I've handled against the Nigerian Police and why I now believe there is no hope for this country with the kind of Police Force we have.
5 of such cases easily come to my mind & I shall drop them for the next 5 days.
Thread
In August , 2016 one Miss Mabel Mang (May her soul rest in peace) was murdered in her Lekki home. She was single, rich and had no child.
The gateman who was the main suspect fled and made away with her phones, laptops and jewelleries.
