Actress Yetunde Barnabas Faces Backlash Over Video Of Son At Steering Wheel
Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has come under fire after sharing a video showing her infant son holding the steering wheel while she drove.
The footage, which she posted on Instagram on Monday, showed the actress with the child on her lap as he reached for and held the steering wheel.
Barnabas appeared to joke about the situation, describing her son as a big boy who would soon celebrate his first birthday.
“Hi, my son is driving. He is a big boy now, he will turn one soon,” she said.
The video has since attracted criticism from social media users, who questioned her decision to allow the child near the steering wheel while the vehicle was in motion.
Some described the act as irresponsible, warning that it could endanger the child, the actress and other road users.
Others called for child protection authorities to intervene, while some critics demanded that Barnabas be arrested and her driving licence revoked.
However, the footage also attracted some defence, with a few users arguing that the actress appeared to be controlling the vehicle and suggesting that the incident happened within a private estate.
