Bambam Calls Out Nigerian Police Over Harassment

Nigerian social media users have shown support for actress Bamike Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam, following her recent encounter with the Nigerian Police.

Sharing her experience on social media, Bambam recounted that after finishing work on a movie set, she was heading home with her assistant when they were stopped by the police.

According to her, the officers’ approach was aggressive and inappropriate. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when they eventually started asking her for money.

Her post quickly gained traction, with many Nigerians condemning the officers’ behavior and expressing frustration over similar encounters.

Bambam wrote:

“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 for money. What kind of nonsense is this? If we refused, what would they have done?”

“He was a bit inappropriate and forceful. I came down, greeted him, he asked if I was okay, I said I’m fine just tired. He said “show me love now” he could have asked from the car window, but my assistant and I were down, we couldn’t drive off so I was forced to give something.”

“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 because they were respectful and actually doing their job are two different things.”
