Korra Obidi, a Nigerian singer and dancer, has expressed her distress after being rough handled.
The American resident voiced her displeasure with the treatment she got from Lagos police officers when she was on the road.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with the way the police treated her and her friend during a routine inspection of their vehicle.
Korra brought up an instance in which they asked to have the car doors locked so that their paperwork could be examined more closely, but the police officer turned them down.
She also related another incident in which an officer knelt on the driver's seat and conducted a thorough inside check of the vehicle.
During a light meal, the officers conducted a bag and personal belongings search, which Korra found to be rough.
Korra responded by urging the police to focus their efforts on capturing dishonest politicians rather than on young people.
Refocusing their efforts, in her opinion, would lessen the nation's high fuel prices.
In her words; “Attempting Taco Tuesday in Lagos. Several police stops with random men manhandling me and searching my bag and personal belongings @frankhasaplan.
Lagos Police, let the youth breath for God’s sake. If you dedicate this much energy to catching politicians who are looting, fuel will not be #560 Naira today. SMH.”
Her story has sparked discussions on social media, with many showing support for Korra and demanding better treatment from law enforcement.
