Google Maps, Lagos Police and a lucky victim
The Lagos State Police Command has promised to investigate the alleged extortion of a motorist by some of its personnel. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said that the command was already in contact with the victim and action would be taken.
In a series of tweets, the motorist, who wrote on the twitter handle, @viva_jc, stated that he was late for work and while using the Google map on his phone for quick directions, the policemen had rushed at him and accused him of using his phone while driving. All his pleas and explanations, he said, had fallen on deaf ears.
“These policemen collected my hard-earned N45,000 for no reason and I still got late to work! This is injustice”.
Oga, sha try and do thanksgiving on Sunday o. Because some of these thieves-in-uniforms are very cruel and trigger happy. ‘Accidental discharge’ is a thing, you know.

This seat is not for Melaye
Senator Dino Melaye has said he is not bothered after he was sacked by the Kogi State National Assembly/State Assembly Election Tribunal as the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district.
“On Tribunal judgment. No cause for alarm at all,” Melaye said. “Even if it went my way they will still go to the Appeal Court”.
The tribunal Friday nullified the election of Senator Dino Melaye. Melaye, a candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the February 2019 election. “There will be fresh election in Kogi West bc (sic) I will be Governor,” Melaye said. “For my Senate mandate no shaking.”
No shaking, Oga Melaye. Even if you no get your mandate back, you are welcome to join our comedy or music industry. We need another rising star to give Rema a good fight.
