It Was a Narrow Escape!

Most of us have had an encounter with the forces in our country or outside our country, but if you haven't had any till now, I must say you are one of the luckiest and blessed person on earth, I'm really not joking.

Some of this our ecounter with the forces turned out to be a bad one that we would not want to experience again. Some are so worst that we try to avoid and pray not to experience it again in our lifetime.

In my country no encounter with the force especially with the police is free and fair, even if you are guilty or not something must leave your pocket afterwards, if you know you know. Never let the police get hold of you, try all means to settle your dispute with them there immediately or else going to the station would not be funny at all.

My experience

When I had about this topic my mind flashed back to one of the experience I had with the police in my country.

It was a Sunday evening, I was very bored at home, I was looking for where to hangout. So I called my friend to known if he will going out, he told me of a birthday party of a friend that he is planning to attend later in the evening, I told him I will also joining him and he accepted.

Later in the evening we prepared and headed for the birthday party. It was all fun and I was really enjoying myself to the fullest.

I never knew time is far gone because the fun has blindfolded me, my friend being very conscious of the time had to inform me that it was getting very late, we had to go back home but I hesitated and neglected what he said. My friend had to leave me because he had something to do at home that night, so I immediately to go that I could come back home by myself.

I continued with the party and unfortunately the party ended really sooner that I expected, everybody were now going there separately ways immediately. I checked my time and it was almost 2:00am, there was no cab or taxi to take me back home what am I going to do now, Oh! I'm finished what am I going to do now.

I summoned courage and decided to walk back home in the lonely road. While I was walking what only came into my mind was not to meet any robber on the way because I was with my new phone, but never new the reverse was the case, it was an angry police waiting for me with their Van.

The Police was on a patrol on that area and unluckily I was about to become their victim. I saw them from a distance but it was too late because they have already sited me, I thought of running back to hide, but my mind told me that running might make them feel that I'm a criminal and if they catch me it will be a double case.

I still summoned the courage to continue going with so much fear in my heart. When I approached close to them they apprehended me as expected.

They started me where I was coming from by this time of the night, I genuinely explained to them where I was coming from hoping they will let me again, but it all went into the thin earlier, they said that was a careless and stupid explanation to give on why I was walking on the road by this late time.

I was accused by one of time that I was a criminal that I wanted to go and steal, I started to argue and tried to proof that it was a misinterpretation but they refused. I was asked to enter their van that they are taking me to the station.

I refused to enter the van because I knew the consequences of doing that. I have not been to prison before and it should not be when I'm innocent and also I don't have money to bail myself, what will I tell my parents because I was in school then, where would I tell them I went to, lots was going through my mind.

They forced and beat me but I refused enter the van, I begged and cried that I was innocent that they should not carry me away but the beating increased and they insisted.

After all the struggling and the beating, luckily I don't know what came over one of them I think it was one of their head, he look at the way I was begging and crying, he had conscience and told them to leave me, I really thanked him.

I was asked to do some punishments before they allowed me go and one said I had my luck, that if they had succeeded in taking me to the station he would have kept me in the cell where the strong criminals were because I was proofing very stubborn.

I hurriedly went back home and was so happy that I never went to the station with them. From that day I vowed never to keep late night again.

So guys that was my own horrible experience with the force in my country.
