I got flagged down this afternoon by VIO in the FCT. One of them asked me for my papers which I handed to him. After inspection, he asked if I had a valid driverβs licence, I replied yes.
I made attempt to pull it out from my wallet but noticed that the Officer had walked away from my car. He met his other colleagues who were seated and then signalled me to join them.
Got down from my car and realized that I was before a mobile court.
My offence, as read out to me, was that I was not wearing a facemask inside my car.
I explained that I have one in the car which I wear whenever I step out of my vehicle.
They refused to listen to me and went ahead to find me the sum of five hundred and fifty naira only.
I was given a paper which did not carry the details of how much I paid.
I insisted that I needed a receipt for the fine which I paid. After much reluctance, one of the VIO rudely scribbed the amount they collected from me on the paper.
The mobile court judge was rude to me and others whose case he heard while my Ordeal lasted.
I guess that the time has come for everyone to wear his/her facemask at all times irrespective of where one is.
