Police Encounter

Designed on canva

I think if you are a Nigerian, you surely must have had a police case, even if it isn't related to you, it might be a family member.

I have had just three experiences with the police, and they all were not my cases but related to people around me, This is one more reason why I try to avoid problems with anyone around me. But the one case i will be sharing had to do with my mum and elder sister, and it happened at my parents former apartment before they moved.

My parents are peaceful people, they don't go beyond their boundaries, and they also love helping people. It happened that they lost one of their male neighbors who had been staying together in that same compound for some years now, and when this man died, another person had to take up his apartment. The landlady of the house put the house up for rent, and before long someone else had gotten it. This was where the problem started. When you are in the midst of the same tribes of people and you are the only one who is of a different language among them, then they start taking sides with their tribe.

When this new neighbour came , my mum being my mum gave them their due respect and space and even tried to show her where she could buy some certain things she needed, this was my mum being my mum, it wasnt up to a month, the new neighbour started showing some attitudes that resulted in my mum giving her a very big distance, but at the end of the day, the woman still would find something to come and enquire about, that would make my mum want to discuss with her, and then the first big fight happened, My mom had corrected her child on something , but her reaction to it was as if she had been looking for an opportunity to rage at my mom. I don't really know what the boy went to tell his mom, but her reaction to it was as if she had been looking for an opportunity to rage at my mom. My mom tried to calm her down, but she wasn't having it, and then some men from outside came and asked her to calm down. It was then she did, and the matter died down,but not from her heart, as anytime she passed by any of us, she hissed and always kept a very rude attitude towards us.

She had given my elder sister a material to help her sew, this was on another day, but she asked her son to go collect it from my sister and my sister wasn;t free, she asked the boy to come back because she was busy at that moment, this was how she turned it to another fight, and my sister isn't as calm as my mum, things got physical between them, i think she felt bad about being beaten , as she started to withdraw , that was when we saw some people come in said they were from the police and they were taking the two them to the police station, well we later got to find out thatbit was th landlady that madethe call, as she wanted to get the woman out of her house , because ever since she came it was one problem to the other.

After the matter took weeks of visiting the police station, they were asked to write an undertaking of never fighting in the house, and the woman was given a quit notice, she was asked to vacate her apartment as she was being a nuisance, After a while, I and my sister decided to let my parents leave that place for many reasons, it was when my mom announced she was leaving,. That was when the secret came out: our next neighbor, the one closest to our own apartment, was the one feeding her lies about my mom, and she, being foolish, believed her, She later apologized to my mom. My mom was just shocked that our neighbor, whom she was even closer to , could do and say such things about her.

Well the lesson learnt from this incident that transpire is never to give your own trust to some people who you arent sure if they want to be as you are to them, well this is my ow n opinion on this

Your neighbor was definitely an entitled karen who want's to spread karenicity on the neigborhood despite all the good will that your mom gave them. Good thing that she leaves the neighborhood.

Oh yes she is indeed a big one, at the end of the day she was only acting due to what someone had told her, which was kinda her fault
Well that's gone, my mum left there already
