Nigerian dancer and singer, Korra Obidi, recently took to social media to share a distressing experience she had. Korra, who currently resides in the United States, expressed her disappointment and frustration with the treatment she and her friend received from police officers during a routine vehicle inspection in Lagos, Nigeria.
In a post on her Instagram account, Korra described the incidents in detail. She recounted how a police officer refused their request to lock the car doors during the inspection, leaving her feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable. Another incident involved an officer thoroughly searching the interior of their car while kneeling on the driver's seat, which she found to be invasive and rough.
Korra's frustration was evident as she called on the Nigerian police to redirect their efforts toward apprehending corrupt politicians rather than targeting the youth. She passionately expressed her belief that focusing on political corruption could help alleviate the high fuel prices in the country.
In her own words, she stated, "Attempting Taco Tuesday in Lagos. Several police stops with random men manhandling me and searching my bag and personal belongings @frankhasaplan. Lagos Police, let the youth breathe for God's sake. If you dedicate this much energy to catching politicians who are looting, fuel will not be #560 Naira today. SMH."
Korra's story quickly gained attention on social media, with many people showing their support for her and demanding better treatment from law enforcement agencies in Nigeria.
