Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson, allegedly assaults a man for taking a video of her

 

By Rachel Okporu Fadoju

Nigerian skitmaker cum Nollywood actor, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has slammed Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson, for assaulting a man.

Naija News reports that the Commissioner, in a video shared by Saharah Reporters on X, was seen assaulting a man who tried to make a video of her.

Reacting via his handle, Mr Macaroni described the Commissioner as a public servant moving like a dictator.

The thespian, who frowned at the video, said a public servant could assault a Nigerian and go scot-free because politicians in Nigeria are above the law.

He wrote, “Dear Mrs Toke Benson, who do you think you are that you can’t be recorded? Ok. Commissioner? And so what??

“You even have the temerity to ask “who is paying your salary” Is it your money? A public servant moving like a Dictator. Saying you will break a citizen’s phone and actually moving to do so?? Outrageous!!!

“And I heard another lady asking “do you know who you are talking to. Who are you? Who is she? Who are all of you gangan???

My goodness!!!

“It seems once you hold a political office in Nigeria you become Lord and Master and all Citizens must become your slaves??

“The Audacity!!! A public servant assaulting a citizen??? That’s like assaulting your boss at work! Don’t you people have any leadership training??? Why do politicians see themselves as some sort of god to be worshipped??

This is Madness!!!

“The only reason A public servant can assault a Nigerian and go Scot free is because Politicians in Nigeria are above the law.

This is not the first time something like this would happen.

“However, if a citizen were to assault a politician, he or she would be in jail right now or could have been kidnapped by security agents or even shot dead…”
