https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP8KEf1Lr1g The Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka has denied reports that she physically assaulted a a man by slapping him for recording her on phone. In a widely circulated video by Sahara Reporters, the Commissioner was seen asking a man recording her with his phone to leave the premises but the unidentified man responded that no one will leave the venue. The commissioner who got up from her seat later approached the man and said ‘Maa fo phone owo e’ (I will smash the phone he is recording with’). An unidentified man was heard shouting ‘How dare you slap him?’. Speaking to TheScrutiny on Thursday, Benson-Awoyinka said she never slapped or physically assaulted anyone. “No I slapped no one. Absolutely no one” she said. The video has generated mixed reaction from netizens, as many are calling for a thorough investigation into the incident. https://thescrutinyng.com/2025/01/09/i-didnt-slap-anyone-sanwo-olus-commissioner-toke-benson-clarifies/ 2 Likes

We abuse privileges so much in this country. While I don’t know the details of what transpired, what’s the need for all the “I’ll call your commandant in Abuja”? Something that can be settled amicably within the confines of that hall, without any external intervention, the Commissioner is flexing muscles by threatening to call the Commandant-General of NSCDC as if the CG doesn’t have more pressing matters to attend to. That’s how Rufai Oseni threatened to call Gov. Sanwo on phone after he was busted for taking “one-way”. We too like to dey show ourselves levels for this country. 5 Likes 1 Share |

It was the lady on the tan suit that supposedly slapped someone. Not the commissioner. The average youngster today thinks the camera phone makes them invisible. Once you start recording, you are at liberty to do whatever you want. She told you she didn’t want to be recorded, she told you to leave the building and you objected. They should have arrested them for loitering. The security guys who couldn’t effect a removal of unarmed people or atleast stop them from recording were useless anyway. There was no need having them around. They should go guard a fast food. 3 Likes |
