Laide Bakare, a Nollywood actress, has been charged by the Lagos State police command for breaking traffic laws.

This was revealed by the Command in response to the actress’s claim that she was harassed by force personnel.

The actress said that the cops had pulled her out of her car and taken her teenage daughter with them, according to Naija News.

The command’s spokeswoman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, responded to the accusation in a post on X, saying that although Bakare was stopped for breaking traffic laws, he made the decision to cause a disturbance.

He said that when the actress was stopped, she attempted to restrain the officers, but they stood their ground.

He said, “You were pulled over for driving on the BRT lane, which is against the law.
You decided to put on a show. When your car was being driven to the LAMATA office, you made the decision to stay outside of it.

And the cops were not going to fall for your ploy to restrain them there.

“You made the N70,000 payment into the government’s coffers to make up for your offense. You weren’t touched with any force. You drove off with your car and the receipt.
