Miss Pepeiye faces backlash over video of baby son holding

Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas, also known as Miss Pepeiye, has faced criticism on social media after sharing a video of her infant son holding a steering wheel while she drove.

The actress shared the video on her Instagram page on Monday. In the footage, her son is seen sitting on her lap and holding the steering wheel as the vehicle moves.

Barnabas appeared excited about the moment and jokingly described 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.

However, the video has sparked reactions from social media users, with many questioning why she allowed the child to hold the steering wheel while the vehicle was in motion.

Some users described her action as irresponsible, warning that it could put the child, the actress and other road users in danger.

Others called on child protection authorities to look into the incident, while some demanded that she be arrested and her driving licence withdrawn.

However, some social media users defended the actress, arguing that she appeared to be in control of the vehicle. They also suggested that the incident might have happened within a private estate.
