Popular Nollywood actress, Bamike Olawunmi, AKA, Bam Bam, has called out the Nigerian police to reduce their entitlement mentality and stop making civilians uncomfortable.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the actress narrated how some police officers stopped them on their way from a movie set and “forced” them to step down only to beg money from them.
“Just wrapped up from a movie set, heading home and Nigerian police stopped us for no reason —forced us to step down only to start begging us for money.
“He was a bit inappropriate and forceful, I came down and greeted him, he asked if I was okay, I said I’m fine just tired. He said, ‘show me Love now’,” Her post read in part.
The actress went further to narrate how the could have talked with the police men from the car window but we’re forced to step down.
She added that; “We shouldn’t see the police and feel uncomfortable but safe. Asking and demanding are two different things. Feeling entitled about your money and tipping they were respectful and actually doing their job are two different things.”
The national TV star rhetorically asked if the men in uniform would have done anything if they refused to tip them.
