How The Police Extorted Printivo Employees

 Years back. Men of the Nigeria Police broke into my ad agency’s office in Ikeja… and arrested my creative team for working overnight in their own office. It wasn’t an unbranded business. There was signage everywhere, they had staff ID cards, they were working on a campaign we needed to ship that weekend. It was obvious this is an office.


I was in SF when my phone rang. @ICONOREOLUWA who the then creative director was on the phone. Spent the next couple of hours calling everyone I knew. Ore was also doing everything to end the madness. My wife also running around.


The police didn’t care despite everything they were shown. They named their price. It was a Friday. If you don’t pay the team would sleep there that weekend. People who have done absolutely nothing wrong.


Again… the Nigeria Police is Nigeria’s worst creation.
