Skales calls out Nigerian police over excessive checkpoints on the road

• Skales expressed his hatred for the Nigerian police pointing out how much they maltreat the public.
• He accused the police of intentionally targeting luxury cars to beg them for money.

Nigerian artiste Skales has expressed his frustration with the Nigerian police, specifically regarding the excessive number of checkpoints on the roads.

In a recent post on Instagram, Skales criticized the Nigerian police for their abuse of power and mistreatment of the public.

He highlighted the numerous checkpoints on Orchid Road, accusing the police of targeting luxury car drivers  to beg them for money.

Skales questioned the legality of having multiple checkpoints in close proximity, suggesting that the police are more interested in extorting money from drivers than ensuring public safety.

He threatened to start wearing a camera to document his interactions with the police and post them online to raise awareness about the issue.

He wrote:

“My hate for Nigerian police still stands…very horrible set of humans … police wey no get money go dey stress fellow poor man knowing fully well what their doing is wrong… knowing fully well that they are just taking advantage of power given to them.”

“e be like say na how to stop Benz them dey teach dem sef.. they just mount for orchid road shamelessly stressing youths to end up begging for money.. no honour at all useless people.”

“Like @NigeriapolicePR… why do you have like all your policemen on orchid road like kilode … they can’t do me shit cos I’m no criminal but it’s that legal to have like 3 to 4 check points just 2 minutes drive away from each other … all they do is stop Benz and ask very stupid questions and when they don’t get wat they want na either insults or begging for money … look into it o cos now I go just dey wear camera for body they post everything online … its super annoying”.
