So it went viral!
Celebrity arrested for illegal possession,
Gun toting and threatening officers of the law,
Also, riding an unregistered conveyance;

Amusing, to say the least,
When news tumbled in,
That a popular face was arrested,
Then paraded like a common criminal;

Social media went into a frenzy,
As videos made the rounds,
Made to lie on the ground,
He and his companions;

But a magistrate has set him free,
Reprimanded and asked to sin no more,
Cleared of illegal possession,
Because he had a license, anyway;

Then we remember, from sometime back,
That this same celebrity is an ambassador,
A popular face for the law,
Wow! Even posed in that uniform!
In Nigeria it is not uncommon for the Police to rough people up, small people, folks who are small enough to get caught in their notorious web of vindictiveness. If you are not BIG enough or don't know BIG people then you likely to be in for unpleasant experiences; especially if you are not in the good books of the vagabond in power.

So Small Doctor, a popular hip hop artist got roughed up by the police and paraded like a common criminal, but unknown to those that made him lie on the road, harassed and effectively disgraced, he is a police ambassador. they claim he used a rifle to threaten a police warden on duty.

These people leave the mighty criminals that have wrecked that country to pieces, plundered and impoverished 190 million people to go chasing adrenaline junkies. SAD.
