If you see a fresh guy with a clean ride up North, he is VERY likely from an important family with strong govt connection.
So SARS officers know better than go after them. But down South, anybody can be "rich." It is a fertile ground for criminals like SARS to extort

When I say "anybody" can be rich down South, I mean any young person can look fresh and have a very clean (expensive ride).
Some of them are rich through legitimate means, others got rich courtsey of "quick money" mediums like internet scam and other means

Anytime I go down South, something in my head tells me "this explains why SARS move mad here."
Go to Warri, Abeokuta,Lagos, Benin-City etc and you'd find thousands of young men living large, spending hard currency, partying hard and parading clean rides.

A good number of these young men are just regular hustlers with no important families or connections. They made their money on their own working hard on legitimate business
Some others make their money committing Hushpuppi's crime. And they live lavishly and display their wealth

This, in my opinion, makes the South a fertile ground for extortion. Most guys in EFCC, SARS, customs prefer being posted to the South.That is where the real money is
I know people who were posted down South and came back with very clean rides within six Months. Money dey there

Mount a checkpoint in ordinary Warri and you'd find dozens of young men in exotic cars ripe for extortion because they are "nobodies."
Mount the same roadblock in Gombe and 9 out of 10 young men with exotic cars you'd find are sons of a powerful Alhaji with strong connections

Down South, you can shoot a rich young guy and nothing will happen because he has no "backing."
The average "rich young guy" you find in the North is from an important family with strong ties in Government, in the Military etc.

What you'd find in the North is just the regular police harassment against the poor and powerless.Poor Northerners get attested,locked up without charge sometimes get, summarily executed.
But very little extortion happens up here because those with the money are powerful people
