“I feel like selling my Benz, not because I’m broke but because of the Nigerian police. How can I be stopped over five times in just one day?” he complained.

He narrated how he was flagged down at several junctions, including around the Abraham Adesanya traffic light, where some officers entered his car and attempted to take him to the station. The situation, according to him, only calmed down when the policemen recognized him as a comedian.

“All my papers are up to date. I’m exhausted. You’re wasting my time. It’s not only Benz owners that can commit crimes. Who wants to buy my Benz? I hardly drive it anymore because of this constant harassment,” he added.
