traveling with was impounded by them.
The scene of the incident
It was gathered that while a minor misunderstanding between the
actress and the policemen that impounded her vehicle appeared settled,
and her seized vehicle particulars released, some armed policemen
suddenly appeared and rearrested the actress and her driver.
According to Vanguard, eyewitnesses revealed that the actress who
was travelling in gold-colour Honda end-of-discussion, was flagged down
while driving towards Olaiya Junction in Osogbo.
A source added that the vehicle was allegedly arrested because its
driver was making call while others claimed police cap was put on the
dash board of the vehicle which attracted the policemen.
Her presence immediately attracted large crowd at the ever-busy Orita-Olaiya, which nearly led to the policemen being mobbed.
The visibly angry Aigbe-Gentry, was seen making calls and had to be
persuaded before she agreed to leave the scene even as many of those
gathered verbally attacked those that arrested her.
However, when the artiste and her co-travellers were released,
about five new armed policemen latter arrived the scene, and fired
several shots into the air while the artist and others travelling with
her were arrested and whisked away.
Reacting, ASP Egbedele, the assistant Police Public Relations
Office, PPRO, Osun state Police command, explained that the matter was a
minor traffic issue, adding that it has been settled.
