The funny thing about yesterday was that, at the checkpoint, my HOD called and the police officer that arrested me was rude and replied her "and so? Is that why he should be on the road by this time?" Then asked one of the touts(not a police officer) to join me in the car.
That one was just ordering me around at first, till I reiterated my stand.

Honestly, I don't know how those ones got recruited.

Also, they were selective in their arrest. Just young people not up to 40.

They were making threats and I had to comply
My HOD had to make several calls, even to the chairman of the Medical Guild Nigeria, the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) Lagos chapter was contacted as well.

I made a tweet about it when the police officers were harassing me with threats.
@CallMeDarmie, @segalink @Otunbakush1 and a good number of persons reached out to me and also pushed some buttons ❤️

There are so many people I'm yet to get across to! I just want to say, I appreciate y'all and I hope some day I'll be able to repay your kindness.
Anyways,

I am very grateful to everyone that added a voice to my voice...

Doctors went on a one day sit-at-home strike not so long ago.

This applies to everyone on essential duties.

The police needs to do better!
Literate ones should head those checkpoints
I know there's a lot of decadence going on there, but trust me Nigerians are suffering.

It's normal to understand the traffic issues in Lagos, but it has turned to be a business venture for the police.

I've been through some checkpoints and I know what happens there.
I've said it here before that the curfew wasn't really necessary.

There are other consequences of this curfew and a part of it is the corruption menace by the police on innocent people.

Most private car owners can't even offer help to those stranded because of the police.
In most checkpoints, it's big business for them.

Those in authority will never get to know because they'd never face a situation like that.

This is our Nigeria and we can fix it!
Whatever needs to be done to fix it for everyone, needs to be done ASAP.
