Popular comedian, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, took to his Twitter to share his ordeal when he was arrested alongside 40 protesters two months ago.
Recall the comedian was among those arrested for breaking an order not to protest and also flouting COVID-19 protocols when they were protesting the reopening of tollgate.
Although they were later granted bails of #100,000, the comedian narrated in a series of tweet how he doesn’t trust the police force anymore.
He revealed that police men took turns to beat him because he was the popular ‘Mr Macaroni’.
In a video shared by the comedian at the time of the incident, some policemen were seen mocking him while he was in the van almost naked.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, he wrote, “That very day, I swore never to stop using my platform to call out the evil that the Police do. If they can do that to someone people know, imagine what they do to hundreds of thousands of unknown Nigerians.
”We are in court though. We filed since last month; Aluta Continua. When I was at Adeniji police station, the police officers took turns to beat me up. They were even calling themselves to come and beat ‘Mr Macaroni’
“They said in my life when next I hear police, I will run! One said if not that people would ask about me, he would have killed me. I should promote the same police institution that oppresses Nigerians?
“The majority of Police officers are just there to steal, rob, harass, brutalise and oppress the people. We see it happen every day.
“You swore an oath to protect, yet you kill and destroy. Zero conscience! Every day, there is always one negative report or the other about the Nigeria Police.”
