It was one of the days during this holiday. I was going to work and I saw Hursh Puppies (nickname for one of my brothers Moshopeoluwa Ayomipo Osho) as he was about to board his car. Seeing that it would be an opportunity to join him for a free ride to Ikeja, I hopped into the car. Little did I know that it would be a real interesting one.
As we left home, Bro. Shope picked two other colleagues around the estate and the four of us hit the road. He stopped over at the filling station for gas and the action of the day started immediately we left the fuel station.
We noticed a car trying to overtake ours and someone from the car was pointing at the tyre at the passenger's side. All of a sudden, the car just crossed us on the road and Bro. Shope was forced to slam both legs on the brake. Four policemen alighted from the vehicle and they demanded that we all alight from the car. "wetin dey inside your boot?" one of them asked. "Nothing" replied bro. Shope. "Open am make we see". As bro. Shope took the inquisitive policeman to his boot, we were also being questioned. The one with me was a confused albino (not sure if he should be an albino). He first said "wetin dey inside your bag?". "My laptop" came my frustrated answer. "Who get the laptop?" he asked. Again I said "na my own". Then came the dumbest question I have ever heard in my life "can I search the laptop?". I didn't even know how to answer the question. To cut a long story short, one who seemed to be the leader of the team of morons in new police uniforms, called out to the others and they let us go.
Back in the car, we were still expressing our surprise at the embarrassing stop and search and wondering if it was a tipoff or just a random thing. They didn't even ask for the car particulars as usual. Not even for the tinted permit... Can you imagine? I was even happy that the one asking to search my laptop didn't ask for the receipt of the laptop for then I would have been in trouble (that day I was carrying my laptop in a new bag and the receipt was in the old bag).
And that was just in the morning... Wait till you hear my ordeal in the evening of the same day...
