Most people are still perplexed as to why AC Milan’s star player Bakayoko, who is now on loan from Chelsea FC, was stopped and questioned by armed police in Italy.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!But a video that was posted on social media today, Monday, July 18, 2022, showed that the police thoroughly inspected the player before another officer was able to certify that he was a football player.
When the Italian police revealed that the event was a case of mistaken identification, the video stirred some controversy on social media.
Goal.com reports that the press office for the Milan police department issued the following statement through ANSA:
“THESE COMMENTS ARE OUT OF PLACE.”THE CHECK WAS TRIGGERED BECAUSE BAKAYOKO AND THE OTHER PASSENGER CORRESPONDED PERFECTLY, BY CHANCE, TO THE DESCRIPTIONS [OF PEOPLE WANTED BY THE POLICE] , AND OF COURSE IT ENDED WHEN IT WAS REALISED THAT HE [THE POLICE OFFICER] HAD STOPPED A PERSON WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.”
Shocking footage of Milan’s Bakayoko in Milan’s downtown held at gunpoint by police cause taken for someone else.
Check when one of cop goes telling to the colleague searching him that it’s not the suspect but a Milan player, and the cop saying “WHO?!?”
