Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has called out the Nigerian Police after a frustrating encounter with officers in Lagos. She recounted the incident on social media, sharing how she was stopped by the police while driving in the Oniru area of Lagos. According to Kate, the police accused her of driving in the wrong direction, known as 'one-way,' despite ongoing road repairs that had forced many drivers to take alternative routes.
Henshaw argued that if the road had been fully repaired and reopened, the public should have been informed instead of ambushing drivers with police officers ready to arrest them. The situation escalated until some officers recognized her and allowed her to leave.
Her main concern was how the situation could have unfolded for regular citizens who are not well-known public figures. Kate expressed frustration at how the police often treat ordinary Nigerians, which she believes damages their public reputation.
Netizens agreed with her sentiments, with many sharing similar frustrations:
power2thrive_: "It’s only in Nigeria that they deliberately set traps for you to extort money."
ksolo_hitz: "Nigeria police need more orientation on how to carry out their duties, always looking for opportunities to harass and extort."
Kate Henshaw’s experience sparked a larger conversation about police practices and the need for reform in how they handle such situations.
