Went to the Interio ministry today for my police clearance today and was issued,i was involved in a fight with someone and was reported to police and then the case was droped and i paid fine.now i asked the police man today how i can get court record for the case and he said i will be fine with the police clearance i was issued that it means i have no charges or criminal record;that if i have any problems that they would not issue me one.

The police clearance states: This is to certify,that no previous criminal conviction has been reported against the above mentioned individual.

My question is should i answer yes question 41 Ds230 ? the police said am fine and from the above statement i seem to be ok too....just confused.

Thanks

Very understandable that you feel hmmm nervous when you know about an incident yet it apparently does not appear in police records. The police certificate states you have NO charges or criminal records so leave it be. This journey is arduous, daunting and stressful enough. Breathe easier for today for one doesn't know what's around the corner.

Good luck, stay strong,

In the USA, if you are charged, but not convicted for any reason (case dropped, charges modified to something else, etc) you will not have a criminal history (except through the police depts - they can pull up what you have been arrested for - it is their job to know those things) and would answer no to any application that asks if you have any convictions. I cannot speak for Nigeria laws, but being charged with a crime is not the same thing as being convicted of a crime. So if the application asks about convictions you would say no because your case was dropped and you were never convicted in a court of law. I would not provide any information they do not ask for. The process is hard enough without adding confusion and additional processing - do not make it more complicated than it already is.:no: God bless your journey and may His favor go before you and prepare the way.
