Police respond to Laide Bakare by saying, “You chose to create a scene.”

The Lagos State Police command responded to popular Nollywood actress Laide Bakare‘s allegations of officer harassment.

In response to the accusation in a post on X, the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, explained that Bakare was stopped for breaking traffic laws but decided to make 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.”

Afric Showbiz reported that the actress recently claimed in a popular post that the police forcibly removed her from her car and drove off with her teenage daughter still inside.
