The Nigerian Police PRO, Benjamin Hundeyi, has reacted to Laide Bakare's viral video in which she called out the police.
Legit.ng recalls reporting that Laide Bakare, a Nollywood actress, cried out in distress on social media after her daughter got driven off by the Nigerian police.
The actress, who recently revealed why she would stay single, explained that she was asked to park by the road, dragged out, and before she would realise what was going on, the policemen had driven her car away with her 12-year-old daughter in it.
Additionally, she noted that her belongings were in the car that was driven away. Benjamin has now responded to her.
Police PRO reacts to Laide's accusation
According to the police PRO's post on his X page, Laide was stopped for breaking the law by driving in the BRT lane. He also mentioned that the actress chose to stay out of the car while the officers went to the LAMATA office.
Benjamin Hundeyi wrote:
"You were stopped for contravening traffic laws by driving on the BRT lane. You chose to create a scene. You chose to remain out of your vehicle when it was being taken to LAMATA office. The officers were not going to succumb to your gimmick to hold them down at that spot. You rightly paid the correct fine for your offence - N70,000 - into government coffers. You left with the receipt and your vehicle. Not a finger was laid on you."
