Ref: Continued Police Harassment at Polysonic Junction, Apapa GRA

Good day Sir,

We are filing this petition as a complaint against the daily harassment that we are subjected to by police officers from various departments as well as "pseudo" policemen (men wearing "MOPOL" tshirts and jeans - WITHOUT any formal identification).

While we understand the need for a police presence at that very busy junction, the officers there have turned the exercise into a "fleecing" free for all, with threats and abuse of all kinds being rained upon us, the residents of Apapa GRA, and we'll be all els who pass through that junction.

The same "security exercise" has become a major cause of traffic hold up into and out of our GRA.

We therefore are signing this petition to kindly request that in your responsible role in the highest ranking police officer in our zone, you investigate the matte - and bring those "misbehaving " officers to order.

We have a goal of collecting the leeat least 1,000 signatories on this petition to show you how seriousness with which to take this matter.

Thank you for you attention,

Apapa GRA Residents
