Lol, biko don’t try this in Naijo oh!
Hillary Clinton's security staff got into an argument with a traffic warden after he issued her car with a parking ticket. The Westminster City Council warden put an £80 penalty notice on the former US secretary of state’s silver Mercedes vehicle in Central London while she was attending an event at Chatham House.
According to photographer Greg Brennan, who caught the row on camera on Saturday:
Five of her guards were waiting inside a Mercedes van next to her car at the time because it was raining. She had earlier arrived in a motorcade of five cars with around 10 security agents. Her car was parked in a bay on St James's Square in Mayfair, which costs £3.30 per hour. The warden then arrived and put a ticket on the car which had transported 65-year-old Mrs Clinton to the event, prompting her security detail to jump out of the van in protest,
Cllr Daniel Astaire, Westminster City Council cabinet member for business, told MailOnline:
'Despite our traffic marshal being questioned by the secret service for just doing his job, he was in the right. She was parked for nearly 45 minutes without paying. I’m sure she will understand that we have to be fair to everyone, regardless of their status on the world stage. For future reference, Mrs Clinton can now also download a parking app for her iPhone which will tell her in real time where a parking space is in the City of Westminster.'
The parking ticket came with an £80 fine - but would only be £40 if paid within 14 days. The fine has not yet been paid - but an appeal could be launched at any date before October 25.
The wife of the former US president, Bill Clinton, was at Chatham House to collect a prize for her contribution to international diplomacy.
