Popular Nollywood
actress, Mercy Aigbe Gentry, had a brush with men of the Osun State
police command around 4.30pm today.
She & her driver were arrested
at Olaiya junction in Osogbo, the Osun State capital for allegedly
displaying a police cap on her car’s dash board, attracting the police
attention.
Another report claims it was because her driver was using the
phone while driving.
According to multiple reports, when she was stopped, she was ordered to
step out of her car so her vehicle could be searched.
Her presence
reportedly attracted a large crowd who gathered and wanted to know why
she was being arrested. A visibly angry Mercy was seen making calls on
her phone which was later seized, according to a report by Vanguard.
When the crowd became too much, the policemen fired several gunshots in
the air and whisked Mercy and her driver away. Her driver was taken away
in a police van while another police officer was said to have driven
Mercy in her Honda car.
Confirming the incident, an Assistant Police Public Relations Officer,
Ajibade Egbedele, said, it was just a minor traffic issue and that the
matter has been settled.
