Official explanation of the three police men engaged in a brawl
How to make a Nollywood Blockbuster.

 


The attention of the Nigerian Police Farce has been drawn to pictures which have been published in some national newspapers and are being circulated on the internet.

The pictures show two or three policemen seemingly involved in an altercation which allegedly took place at Ajegunle, along the Lagos-Abeokuta express road.

In the said pictures, police officers were supposedly engaged in a brawl, and their dangling AK 47 riffles endangered the lives of hundreds of commuters, jobless onlookers, and other road users.

Ordinarily the Nigerian Police would not respond to newspaper articles which have not been officially brought to our attention, neither do we join issues with unprofessional journalists who do not bother to check their facts, but we are constrained to set the records straight on this matter - because, since this story and pictures were published, there has been an upsurge of "two-fighting" cases around the country.

What actually happened on that fateful day was that a Nollywood movie, "My boyfriend is a MOPOL, but I'm in love with a militant," was been shot on location.

However, due to a tight budget, the director decided use a camera phone to shoot the scene that was witnessed on the road.

Also in a bid to save costs, the director did not use any waka-pass actors. This, according to the producers, was intentional, as they were trying something called method-acting, thus the semblance of reality to the scene.

We have in our possession, the police clearance form, Lagos State use-of-road-for-shooting-film tax clearance, other relevant tax receipts and certificates, and LASTMA intent-to-shoot-film notice, for the home video movie.

The Nigerian Police Farce(sic) wishes to state that its men and officers are highly disciplined, and in the event that there is the need to quarrel over egunje, such would be done within the confines of a police station or mammy market, and moderated by the appropriate DPO, DCO or SPO.

Thank you for allowing us to use your internet(sic) to communicate this message.

Since the police has refused to react since they have no reasonable reaction to the picture, I think you have really assisted them to cover up their foolishness. Pls send this to the official police PRO and let him just sign it and release it to the local press...
