Abstract portrayal of the activities at a typical Nigerian police check point. The artist casts light on some of the malpractices and unjust treatments of road users normally associated with the Nigerian police at their notorious road blocks. You wonder if the popular saying "Police is your friend" is true or false when plying the road sometimes.
