Former BBNaija winner and reality TV star, Phyna, was involved in a fiery confrontation with police officers after her vehicle was abruptly stopped in the middle of a busy road. The incident, which occurred recently, was captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
A Heated Exchange on the Road
In the now-circulated footage, an visibly irritated Phyna is seen stepping out of her car to challenge the officers' actions. She argued vehemently that the method of stopping her vehicle was both improper and dangerous. The outspoken celebrity questioned why her car was specifically targeted from the moving traffic, demanding an explanation from the officers on duty.
"Oga, I am a celebrity. How dare you stop me and say what you said?" Phyna exclaimed during the tense exchange. She stressed that she had never witnessed police officers blocking vehicles in the center of the road before, insisting that such a practice poses a significant risk to all motorists.
Phyna's Stand on Procedure and Safety
Throughout the argument, Phyna maintained that the officers were not following correct protocol. She firmly stated that police personnel are expected to position themselves at a safe and visible point on the roadside before flagging down vehicles, rather than selecting cars randomly from the flow of traffic.
"You need police to park on the road and stop. You’re not allowed to stop like this," she said, gesturing towards the officer's position. Demonstrating a preference for a lawful resolution, she instructed her driver not to engage physically with the officers. Instead, she revealed her intention to contact senior officials within the police command to verify if such roadside stops are permitted under their regulations.
"I want to call the authorities. Let’s ask them if this is how they train you to stop people," Phyna declared angrily.
Mixed Reactions from Social Media
The video of the altercation quickly sparked a wave of reactions online. While some netizens criticized Phyna's approach, others debated the conduct of the police officers. One user, @qoseem_kayode, commented, "No be this kind behaviour we won dae support against police abeg, them never even ask them anything she just dae shout." Another, @PurpleFrenz, labeled the star's actions as "fuulishness."
Conversely, some discussions centered on the broader issue of police procedure and the rights of citizens during stops. The incident has once again brought the topic of police-citizen interactions and operational protocols to the forefront of public discourse in Nigeria.
Published on 16 January 2026, this event follows Phyna's recent revelation about being ready to end her long-standing feud with Afrobeats superstar Davido, indicating a period of both personal reconciliation and public confrontation for the reality TV star.
