Criminal Justice Major Arrested For Sitting At Bus Stop Filming Police, Called ‘Nigerian Nightmare’

A criminal justice student at the University of Texas at San Antonio was arrested last week while sitting at bus stop and filming police officers operating a speed trap, according to KENS 5.

Abie Kyle Ikhinmwin, 25, had been filming officers pulling cars over along Highway 281 in San Antonio, and posting the videos to Facebook for her friends noting, ‘This is where our funding is going, straight into hard police work.’

Ikhinmwin claims that police referred to her as the “Nigerian nightmare” when booking her into jail.

The incident began when a police officer then approached her telling her to move her bike out of the road and, after she complied by moving inside the curb, he demanded I.D.

When she said no, informed her that he was going to arrest her.

I guess she didn't realize that when the police officer told her to move her bike, he meant she should be leaving now. The meaning behind the words.
