In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bam Bam revealed that after completing a movie shoot, she was stopped by police officers for no reason, ordered to step out of her car, and allegedly asked for money.
Expressing her discomfort and frustration, the actress questioned what might have happened if she had refused their demand.
She emphasized the need for citizens to feel safe around law enforcement, rather than intimidated or harassed.
Bam Bam also highlighted the difference between respectful requests and coercive demands, stressing that tips should be earned through good service, not claimed 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.
