Netizens call for Yetunde Barnabas' arrest over video of infant son in moving car

Nigerians social media users have called for the arrest of actress Yetunde Barnabas following the video of her infant son in a moving car.

DAILY POST reports that the actress had shared a clip of her eleven-month-old son gripping the steering wheel of a moving car while sitting on her lap.

She was heard saying, "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 neighbors."

Reacting to the video, many Nigerians on X called for her arrest by the authorities for endangering the life of others.

While tagging the Federal Road Safety Corps, @wande30 wrote, "Please you must do something to teach others a lesson. This is pure madness in a moving car."

@Ayotund1 said, "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."

@josh_fatoye added, "@Yetundebarna1 you don’t have sense by Putting the lives of other road users at risk. Can you try this in a sane country? @FRSCNigeria @PoliceNG needs to take a decisive action on this rubbish."

@Mo_bolaj1 wrote, "And the right authority will see this, and not think of persecuting her. She's supposed to know better. In a country where penalties are stiff, she will never try this. Until the law pay no regards to status or power, it will always be dared."

@fadile_joe said, "@FRSCNigeria What are you doing about this? A child of this age should be in a child seat at the rear of the car, not in front and definitely not in the driver's laps. This is endangering other road users and very irresponsible of the driver."

@Nimisioluwa noted, "This is very risky because imagine trying to cross the road and then one person is doing this rubbish."

@OlufunmiAkadiri wrote, "She should be arrested and lose custody of that kid. But we are a lawless country so instead of rebuke , people will be praising her for this rubbish . She is endegearing her life, her kid and everyone else on the road."
