Lagos State Police Command Spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, has reacted to the viral video of BBNaija’s star, Phyna, where she was spotted questioning police officers for filming her.
The Nation reported that Phyna had gotten into an argument over the weekend with operatives of the police for filming her without any reason.
The act propelled her to reciprocate the gesture by also going live on social media.
It was learnt that the cops had stopped her vehicle for a stop and search and in the process, they filmed her.
The officer stated that taking images and recordings of persons they are tracking is legal.
This irritated Phyna, who claimed she had never heard of such a law before.
Taking things a step further, Phyna lambasted the officers, asking the police to take action against her, and questioning why there is so much hatred for her.
In his reaction, SP Benjamin responded by saying that while Nigerians are never unhappy when they record police officers, they find it difficult and consider it harassment when a police officer does the same to them.

Noticing the irony, he stated that Nigerians can’t take what they dish, revealing that the reality star was breaking a traffic law, which is why she was filmed as evidence.
He wrote: “If you were in my shoes, somebody carries a phone on your face, you’ll get angry. You’ll get angry! – a Nigerian
“You guys can’t even take what you dish out. A police officer uses his phone to record you, not randomly, but while you’re breaking a traffic rule and you’re all worked up about it, asking which law empowers him to rightfully get evidence. You’re unusual.
“But law does not matter when you record police officers in the line of duty, sometimes just to agitate them and quickly scream harassment.”
