Nollywood Actress, Mercy Aigbe, Whisked Away By Police

The scene of the incident

Men of the Osun State police command have arrested popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe Gentry, and her driver.
The incident which took place at Olaiya junction in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on the evening of Wednesday, 27th April, 2016 reportedly attracted a large crowd who gathered and wanted to know why
she was being arrested.

According to Vanguard, the duo were arrested  for allegedly displaying a police cap on the car’s dash board, attracting the police attention. Another report claims it was because her driver was using the phone while driving.

According to reports, when she was stopped, she was ordered to step out of her car so her vehicle could be searched but a visibly angry Mercy started making calls on her phone which was later seized.

The policemen had to fire several gunshots in the air to dislodge the crowd that had gathered because of her personality and promptly 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 it has been settled.
