You chose to create a scene — Police replies actress Laide Bakare

By Seyi Babalola

The Lagos State Police Command has responded to Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare after she accused officers of harassment.

Responding to the charge in a post on X, the command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, alleged that Bakare was stopped for breaking traffic laws but opted to cause a scene.

“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 the LAMATA office.

“And the officers were not going to succumb to your gimmick to hold them down at that spot.

“You paid the N70,000 fine for your offence into the government coffers. Not a finger was laid on you. You left with the receipt and your vehicle.”

It should be recalled that the Nollywood actress had in a trending post accused the police of dragging her out of her car and drove away with her teenage daughter inside.
