Written by Adeniran Bamisaye Years ago, while driving in Lagos, a police officer stopped me. There was nothing unusual about it. He asked for my vehicle particulars, and I handed them over, perhaps not in the most cheerful manner at first. But somewhere between the routine and the silence, a conversation began.
