A fanatic
Christian was returning at bout 4.00am from a vigil that was held at the Lagos
end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when, a few kilometers to Ibadan, a team of
policemen from the ‘Operation Rapid Response Squad’ stopped him at a checkpoint
and requested for a look at his vehicle particulars. Finding all documents
valid, the policemen asked for the vehicle’s fire extinguisher, C-Caution sign,
and extra tyre, which the Christian presented promptly.

All that the
policemen really wanted was a ‘greasing of their palm’ with Naira notes by the

me here; Angel Gabriel, Angel Raphael, Angel Michael as well as five Saints of
Heaven are with me here”. In a quick change of tactic to ensure that the man
did not go without a charge, one of the Policemen said pointedly “All these
people in this small car? Please park your car well, off the road. I have no
choice than to charge you with overloading”
