Writer Ophoke Armstrong Amobi Details Police Stops in Lagos vs. Abuja

Ophoke Armstrong Amobi, a writer and podcaster known for KAATruths, described his experiences with police stops in Abuja and Lagos. He stated that after living in Abuja for nearly a decade, police had stopped him only two or three times. However, during a brief three-day stay in Lagos, he was stopped and searched four times by officers he described as resembling criminals.

Amobi shared a recent encounter in Lagos where he felt ashamed of being Nigerian. He wrote that police officers during this incident appeared to smoke heavily and smelled strongly of cigarettes, contrasting sharply with his experiences in Abuja.
