Toke Benson, the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, has been slammed by popular Nigerian skitmaker Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, for assaulting a man.
TheNewsGuru reports that viral footage shared by Saharah Reporters on X, captured the moment the Commissioner was seen assaulting a man who tried to make a video of her.
Reacting, Mr Macaroni called out the Commissioner via his X page, describing her behaviour as that of a dictator.
The thespian, who frowned at the video, said that Nigeria is the only country where public servants could assault a person 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.
