Psquare singer Paul, widely known as Rudeboy, has detailed his experience with police officers extorting road users late at night in Lagos traffic.
The singer took to Instagram to say that he had called the cops after witnessing the traffic jam around 2 to 3 a.m. as he was leaving the club.
According to him, the police had erected barricades primarily at club intersections and spots leading to people’s houses, rather than on major roads heading to the third mainland bridge, where they were required.

The reason why they can’t be found in routes leading major roads is that they want to extort money from car owners and their stationed points are the best way to achieve that.
The singer had ignored some of the policemen who had requested money from him as he revealed that they would not get a dime from him.
He wrote:

MOSTLY AT CLUB JUNCTIONS AND PLACES THAT LEADS TO PEOPLE’S HOMES… MEANWHILE YOU CAN’T FIND THEM ON ROADS LEADING TO THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE.
