Over the weekend, BBNaija Season 7 winner, Phyna Unusual, was stopped by the police in Lagos for breaking a traffic rule. She took a one way road and was intercepted by the police. One of the police officers brought out his phone and began to film her after she violated the law. Phyna was angry at the officer for filming her and went on IG live to express her anger and also showed herself tackling the officer for filming her.
Reacting to her outburst, the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, via his X handle this morning November 7, said Nigerians are never angry when they film a police officer whenever they are stopped but find it as an harassment when a police officer does same to them.
‘’If you were in my shoes, somebody carries phone on your face, you’ll get angry. You’ll get angry! – a Nigerian 🙄
You guys can’t even take what you dish out. A police officer uses his phone to record you, not randomly, but while you’re breaking a traffic rule and you’re all worked up about it, asking which law empowers him to rightfully get evidence. 🤔 You’re unusual.
But law does not matter when you record police officers in the line of duty, sometimes just to agitate them and quickly scream harassment.”
