In a series of tweets on her Twitter page on Sunday, September 23, 2018, Omawumi said she was disrespected and almost hurt if not standing her ground to the overzealous men of the Nigerian Police Force.

"I'm a proud Nigerian that louds the effort of the NPF(Nigeria police force) but today I was a victim of uniformed officers that abused their office.

''If you want to stop and search.. do it respectfully. I was disrespected today and if I didn't put my foot down or I didn't know my rights, I would have ended up seriously hurt.

She went on to advice everyone to do better in any position we find ourselves.

"We can do better by ourselves..  in any position we find ourselves. You owe it to your citizens to be/do better...," she concluded.

Omawunmi is the second celebrity who has been allegedly harassed by men of the Nigerian Police Force over the last few weeks. We can all recall that a few weeks ago, rapper, Zoro escaped gunshots from men of Special Anti-Robbery Squad also known as SARS.
