BamBam Accuses Nigerian Police Of ‘Forcing’ Her To Give Them Money

Big Brother Naija star and actress, BamBam has recounted an unsettling experience with Nigerian police officers, calling their actions “forceful and inappropriate.”

Sharing her ordeal on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that after wrapping up a movie shoot, she was stopped by police for no apparent reason, ordered out of her car, and forced to give them money.

Expressing her frustration, Bam Bam questioned what might have happened if she had refused their demand.

The BBNaija star emphasized that law enforcement should make citizens feel safe, not intimidated or harassed.

BamBam also pointed out the difference between a polite request and coercion, stating that tips should be earned through good service rather than treated as an entitlement.

She 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.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Bambam recently revealed what she would do if her daughter approaches her for a gender change.
