Nigeria's road safety agency warned celebrities and influencers against filming content while driving. The FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, cited a viral video of a streamer causing a crash as a dangerous example.
He stated that using phones to record while driving is both illegal and a major distraction. This behavior seriously endangers the driver, passengers, and other road users.
Mohammed ordered legal action against offenders and urged entertainment guilds to educate their members. He emphasized that no online trend justifies risking lives on public roads, which are not film sets. Everyone must follow traffic laws regardless of social status.
