Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has sparked widespread outrage on social media after sharing a video showing her 11-month-old son sitting on her lap and holding the steering wheel of a moving vehicle.

In the controversial clip, the movie star is heard encouraging the infant while guiding the vehicle along the road.

"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," Barnabas could be heard saying in the recording.

The video instantly drew severe condemnation from X users, who labelled the stunt an act of reckless child endangerment and a grave threat to other road users.

Concerned citizens heavily tagged the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Nigeria Police Force, urging law enforcement to arrest and prosecute the actress to serve as a deterrent to others.

"Please you must do something to teach others a lesson. This is pure madness in a moving car," user @wande30 wrote while tagging the FRSC.

Another user, @Ayotund1, tweeted: "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."

Adding to the calls for legal sanction, @fadile_joe noted: "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."

Neither the actress nor representatives of the Federal Road Safety Corps have issued an official response regarding the incident at the time of reporting.
