Popular Nigerian actor and comedian Adebowale Adedayo, widely known as Mr. Macaroni, has publicly condemned Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson, for allegedly assaulting a man attempting to record her on video.
In a viral video shared by Sahara Reporters, the commissioner was seen confronting and reportedly assaulting the individual, sparking outrage online.
Reacting to the incident, Mr. Macaroni took to Twitter to express his disapproval, calling out the commissioner for her behavior. He criticized her actions, stating that public officials must be accountable to the citizens they serve.
In a series of tweets, 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?”
