Detail: BODIJA, IBADAN - Let me share an experience on this police egunje that has remain indelible in my mind. It was my first year at the Polytechnic Ibadan. I drove out early enough that day cos I was rushing somewhere. The time was like 6.45am. I got stopped along Bodija-Secretariat Road. I complied cos I was confident I had all my car papers complete. After like 10mins of checking everything, they were still not satisfied cos they wanted me to grease their palm. I stood my ground and after another 5mins of grammar,they finally said I had no C-Caution and that I must followed them to the station. I complied and we went to the Bodija Housing Police Station. When we got to the station,they quickly informed the DCO that I was stubborn. The man said I should be charged to court for endangering... But he needed to see a senior adult from my side first. A friend of my dad accompanied me after some hours later. The story changed totally when I came back. To cut the story short I was coerced into paying N1000 in 1998 with prostration for the DCO.
