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."
