Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, has responded to the recent buzz surrounding the purchase of Lamborghini cars by Nigerian celebrities.
The purchase of Lamborghinis by socialite Sophia Egbueje and Reality TV star Mercy Eke has generated considerable controversy and attention. Both celebrities have sparked discussions on social media about their luxurious acquisitions, which has led to several reactions from the public and other figures in the entertainment industry.
Reacting to these events, Hundeyin shared his thoughts on the situation via a tweet on his verified handle on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. He jokingly expressed his desire to own a Lamborghini as well, prompting curiosity and amusement from his followers.
He wrote, “I wan buy Lamborghini. Abeg where una dey see dis money? 🫣”
This tweet from the police spokesperson has led to a wide range of reactions from both his colleagues and Nigerians at large, with many responding in a playful manner. One notable reaction came from Josephine Adeh, the Police PRO for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), who humorously offered to buy Hundeyin a Lamborghini, saying, “Come make I buy you one?”
Another social media user, @Omolomo_o, joined in the banter by responding, “Uncle Ben walk with me. If you haven’t spent your February salary. Meet me here next Saturday 🤝😁”
A different user, @Kraft_demo, humorously pointed out that it seems only celebrities like Mercy Eke and Sophia Egbueje have the secret to purchasing such luxury items, writing, “Na only Mercy and Sophia get the update, Even [b]Burnaboy no sabi…[/b]”
Finally, @jamalmirgan made a cheeky comment about how quickly someone could earn enough to buy a Lamborghini in just two months by working at a checkpoint, saying, “Na you no wan Stand for express…2 month lambo money don complete for checkpoint”
