Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has said he has never been harassed by any Nigerian police officer.
The controversial filmmaker made this known via his Twitter platform where he noted that humility is the secret to having a successful road trip without any form of harassment from men in uniform.
He wrote: “I do road trips a lot, I’ve met so many policemen on the road & they’ve never harassed me before. The secret is humility.
All that ‘don’t you know me’ attitude, keep it aside.You’re a citizen just like everyone else.
Once you humble yourself na policemen go hail you pass.”
This is coming after Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Ben Hundeyin stated that singer Daniel Benson, professionally known as BNXN, will face sanctions for assaulting a police officer.
A video making rounds on Twitter on Wednesday, featured the singer in an altercation with members of the Nigerian Police Force.
In now-deleted tweets, BNXN, formerly known as Buju, revealed that he had indeed been in a squabble with the police, which led to him spitting on an officer.
“Spat in a police officer’s face and it felt so good. I let you in my car and you dragged and tear my shirt, and start slapping me? (Sic) Nah, everybody must stop!” he wrote in the deleted post.
Reacting to the incident, Hundeyin stated via Twitter that the police officers will be punished if found guilty of misconduct.
Sharing pictures of BNXN’s tweet, he also maintained that the singer will “surely” face the law for assaulting a police officer.
“@BNXN proudly tweeted that he ‘spat in a police officer’s face and it felt so good.’ He has since deleted the tweet.
“The police officers will be sanctioned for their misbehavior if established, while @BNXN will surely answer for his assault on a police officer,” Hundeyin tweeted on Wednesday.
