Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe on Thursday
narrated her ordeal of alleged harassment by
policemen in Osogbo, Osun state.
The Yoruba movie star who posted her views on
her Instagram page said she the incident occurred
while she was trying to take in the course of a
movie she was shooting in the Osogbo.
Read her: ‘Morning Fam, it has come to my
attention that news has been flying around that I
was arrested by the police in Osogbo. ..For the
records I was never ARRESTED! I was shooting a
movie in osogbo and was going for a break with
my PA and Driver when we saw a police van
chasing us; they later double crossed us, came
out of their van and started banging the bonnet of
my car asking us to come down. I was shocked
and scared because I didn’t know what was going
on. I stepped out of the car to ask them what
happened and why they double crossed us in that
manner, the policemen started shouting and
acting crazy pointing his gun at me.’




She furthers: ‘On seeing his behaviour, i took out
my phone and started to record them, one of
them forcefully collected my phone from me. My
PA also started recording them with an ipad and
the policeman slapped her and threw the iPad
away. At this point a lot of crowd had already
gathered when they saw me and what was
happening and they started booing them, saying
that is how osogbo policemen harass innocent
citizens. When the policemen saw the large crowd
supporting us and that they could be mobbed,
they stylishly left only to call for reinforcement of
other Police officers. Those ones came and
started shooting sporadically into the air,
everyone had to run for their lives.’
