Omotunde Adebowale, the actress and media personality better known as Lolo 1, has alleged that she was harassed by a police escort of a lawmaker in Lagos.
In a video posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, the 47-year-old media personality claimed that the police officers threatened to kill her and her driver, and also attempted to seize her car keys.
The incident allegedly occurred when Lolo 1’s vehicle was forced to the side of the road to make way for the lawmaker’s convoy.
In the footage, the actress confronted the police officers, demanding to know why they were treated in such a manner.
Lolo 1 can be heard in the video calling Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor, to intervene.
She also claimed that the police officers alleged that she and her driver were attempting to kidnap them, which she vehemently denied.
“Lagos, come and see your people. Governor Sanwo-Olu come and see your people, they want to kill us, they are threatening to kill us. Over what? What honorable is in that car? Come and kill us here, wicked people,” she said.
“They pushed us out of the road and they are still saying that we should park, park for what? We would not move, whatever honorable is in that car would come outside. I am a press person, you cannot kill me.
“You are threatening me, let the honorable in that car come out. You cannot oppress me, I refuse to bow. What did we do? Because you have guns? Governor Sanwo-Olu see what your people are doing, I am press person, you cannot touch me.”

The media personality also narrated the alleged harassment in an interview. She claimed she was wrongfully accused of damaging the government official’s vehicle.
“The police officers had stopped the car; they said I scratched the government car, and they were the ones that scratched me. Three of them came out to my car, took my car key, ordered me into their car… and I said no,” she said.
