What made the situation even more surprising was the response from the person driving the vehicle.

Rather than correct the officer immediately, the rider answered, "Na woman," seemingly hoping the quicker answer would get them through the checkpoint faster.

Emeka was having none of it. He stepped in without hesitation and set the record straight himself, saying, "I'm a man, please."

In his own words, the actor narrated the moment on X:

"In the ride home today the policeman stopped us and asked 'Na man or na woman?' I was tying a scarf 😪 Also the foolish Rider answered 'Na woman'. In order for them to let us go quickly. I immediately responded 'I'm a man please' 🙂‍↕️"
