I was held by SARs this morning. I came down from the car, with properly cut hair, even wearing my bottles. They immediately asked that I open my phone, I had a heated argument with them that nothing in this earth would make me open my phone. They corked gun👇🏽👇🏽
I kept my stance and remained calm. Their oga came and asked what was going on, I explained the situation and the first the guy said is "so you no dey fear gun abi" I smiled and said, "na person when commit crime dey fear punishment".
The other guy was still agitated but I just took a chill pill. He asked what I do for a living, I told him content writer. He asked where my office was, I told him Lagos. He asked what I was doing in warri, I asked if he has heard of remote working.
He wanted to get angry and shout I told him to calm down. I explained to him and he said he wanted proof. I just opened my official email and workspace online showed him and he was still confused tho. He asked for identity card.
The first ID my hand reached in my wallet was my aviation ID card. Immediately he saw it, he was somewhat shook. He looked at it again. And told me to go after dropping a subtle apology.

As we drove off, my heart was beating really fast. What if they had killed me 🥺🥺
