We got to a point and he demand for N5,000.00 bribe. I told him my faith does not permit me to give bribe. The man was very angry and toke my key and particular away. I had to involve one person who ordered him to give me back my key and particular. Anyhow what surprised me was he said I told him I don't give bribe. It means bribe has been legalized and everybody does that why not U. It occured to me that a lot of problem to beset the country including blood shed, untimely death, undiagonised and diagonised diseases that has been ravaging the country is as a result of this evil way we have chosen. Iniquity is a shame to any nation.

From your statement;
-Your flouted the traffic law by not strapping your seat belt.
-You pleaded with the traffic police to pardon you for an offense that ordinarily should attract a fine. The presence of pot holes on that road is immaterial.
-The person you involved that ordered the traffic police to release you without you paying for your offense acted wrongly.
-Your faith that frowned at giving bribe should have, first of all, prompted you to do the right thing (strap your belt).
You're being unfair to the traffic officer.
