Nigerians on social media have expressed outrage and called on relevant authorities to take action against Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas after a video showed her 11-month-old son holding the steering wheel of a moving car while sitting on her lap.
The actress had shared the video on social media, where she was heard encouraging the infant as he gripped the steering wheel.
In the clip, she said, “Hi, my son is driving. He's going to one, he's now a big boy. Don't even touch anything. Don't try that shit with me. You drive, horn for the neighbours.”
Reacting to the footage, several Nigerians on X tagged the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Nigeria Police Force, calling for action over concerns that the incident endangered the child's life and other road users.
An X user, @wande30, wrote, “Please you must do something to teach others a lesson. This is pure madness in a moving car.”
Another user, @Ayotund1, described the actress's action as irresponsible, writing, “This is a crime. This shouldn't be taken lightly. Very irresponsible behavior and she should be ashamed of herself. @FRSCNigeria don't turn a blind eye.”
Similarly, @josh_fatoye criticised the actress for allegedly putting other road users at risk and urged the authorities to intervene.
Also reacting, @Mo_bolaj1 called for public figures to be held accountable, arguing that people should not be exempted from the law because of their status.
Meanwhile, @fadile_joe questioned why the infant was allowed to sit on the driver's lap instead of being properly secured in a child safety seat.
Another commenter, @Nimisioluwa, described the incident as dangerous, expressing concern about the potential risks to pedestrians and other motorists.
The video has continued to generate reactions, with many Nigerians urging the FRSC and police to investigate the incident and take appropriate action.
