Initially, we're told that police are our friends and they're peacemakers. Now, as an adult, it's like am doubting their love, peace, trust and friendship toward fellow citizens and masses. Do you know why? let me gist you people small on an issue that took place today between my cousin brother and policemen.
After going through the report, tell me if someone that calls himself your friend should treat you that way. Then, if no, be the one to give the person name. Let's goooo.
The Story
Yesterday, my cousin set off early in the. morning to a nearby state known as Imo state. He travelled for business. On his way back, right inside our town here. At a particular junction known as waterside, some groups of policemen stopped him. According to him, they checked his portfolio as if they're searching for a stolen item. He said they checked all the items in his bag one by one. They spent more than 15 minutes just to check his bag.
At the end, they handed back his bag to him. At the moment, there were other policemen stationed few poles ahead in that same junction. According to him, when they handed over the bag to him, he moved few meters ahead, branched in a nearby shop in disguise as if he wants to buy some items. Would you like to understand his motive? Hmmm, my cousin is an experienced young man. There was this time he travelled with his boss many years ago, on their way, policemen stopped them. They ordered the boss to open his car trunk. They checked the trunk thoroughly and found nothing.
The boss, as an innocent young man moved his car with all free mind thinking there is no problem. Just 20 kilometers ahead, another group of policemen stopped them. They ordered them to go down. Then, they ordered them to open the car trunk. They did so with all free mind not knowing that the former officer that checked the car trunk dropped something in the trunk, same time, he placed call ahead of them, informing the policemen ahead to carefully check their car trunk. Normally, it's a deal.
As the boss Opened the trunk, they found Indian hemp under trunk math. That was how their journey for that day ended up in jail. At the end, they spent 120k.(NGN). Since that time, my cousin is always cautious of forcemen. At this point, you should understand why he stepped into the shop. He carefully checked his portfolio to avoid had I know. Hmmm, my people, could you guys believe he found same product they placed on their car trunk years ago? He trashed it away and then moved. Immediately he reached the next station, they stopped him. Took the bag from him and then checked all the inner pockets. This time, according to him, they spent nothing lesser than 15 minutes. Yet, to no avail. Then, they asked him to move.
How do you view such act? Are we really safe? Should I keep on referring to forcemen as friends? What would have be his fate had they found the stuff inside his bag? Distrust. Can they still gain my trust?
