Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has called out Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing following her decision to have a fellow gym member arrested for taking her photo.
Blessing had shared how she confronted and had the woman detained after allegedly catching her secretly photographing her during a workout.
The actress defended her actions, saying it was a privacy violation.
Effiong wasn’t having it. He questioned why someone in the public eye would involve police over something so trivial, especially when it happened in a public gym.
He called it yet another example of Nigeria’s misplaced priorities when it comes to law enforcement.
The lawyer also didn’t spare the police, expressing frustration that officers actually responded to the complaint.
He suggested moves like this only further tarnish the force’s already damaged reputation.
“You, a public figure, instigated the police to arrest someone for taking a photo of you in a public place?” he wrote.
“We are so unserious in this country. The police keeps disgracing itself.”
