I Don’t Know You, You Are Not A Celebrity, Policeman Tells Phyna

Reality star, Josephina Ijeoma Otabor aka Phyna, has stirred reaction online after a mild drama with police operatives over the weekend.

Phyna’s vehicle was stopped by officers on a highway in Lagos for a stop-and-search operation.

But their mode of operation didn’t sit well with her as the situation quickly degenerated into a verbal altercation.

Phyna went live on Instagram in the midst of the altercation.

In a recorded clip from the live session, Phyna could be heard saying that she went live because one of the police officers was recording her with his phone when she was alighting from her car after they ordered her to.

Phyna: “You would have handled me better.”

Police officer: “I never knew you from anywhere, you call yourself a celebrity. That your celebrity is for you.”

Phyna: “Baba, you for no video. My own be say, you go let me waka from the motor side. You would tell me step out, I would step out, then you video. Not that I’m coming down and you’re carrying camera. No na.”
