Spokesman of Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin has responded to the allegations of Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare against the police force.
Gatekeepers News reports that Laide had on Sunday taken to social media, saying some police officers brutalized her.
According to her, the police officers harassed her and took off with her car, with her 14-year-old daughter in it.
Responding to her allegation through a post on X, Hundeyin said police operatives stopped Laide because she violated traffic laws by driving on the lane meant for BRT buses.
Hundeyin added that the actress was asked to pay N70, 000 which is the exact fine for such an act and no one laid a finger on her.
He said,” ‘’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.”
