If you Owe someone money and the person choose to get you arrested with the Police just because you are owing.

Don't fear, this is what you need to do

Kindly ask the officer for his ID and station he is attached to, pass the information to someone around

If the Officer refuse to show you his ID, kindly blow small alarm to alert people around cos they will be your witness when you come back.

Kindly tell the Officer that this is a civil matter and you should not be arrested for such but, if the Officer feels cool to breach your fundamental human right, you won't resist arrest

When you get to the station, take note of the file number your case is registered on

They will surely grant you bail cos you did not commit a crime in the first place.

When you come out

You will file a suit against the Officer and the person who reported you to him for arrest
