Famous Nigerian social activist and skit maker, Debo
Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has tackled the Nigeria Police, saying
they protect their own.
The skit maker said the police protect their men whenever
they commit a crime as opposed to how they treat civilians accused of crime.
Mr Macaroni’s accusation comes on the heels of the recent
killing of Barrister Bolanle Raheem by a trigger-happy policeman in Lagos
State on Christmas Day.
The policeman, an ASP, had opened fire on the unarmed lawyer
on her way home from Christmas church service on Sunday in the Ajah area of
Lagos.
Reacting to the incident, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Lagos State Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a tweet, said the ASP
that shot Raheem and two other police officers on duty with him have since been
taken into custody.
“Unfortunate and avoidable incident that was. The ASP that
shot and two others with him have since been taken into custody. They are to be
moved to the SCID for further investigation,” SP Hundeyin wrote.
However, Mr Macaroni reacted to the tweet, accusing the
police of protecting their own whenever they foul the law, unlike how they
treat ordinary citizens when they commit a crime.
He wrote, “If it was a civilian that the police accused of a
crime, even before proven guilty, you will give us their names, even snap
pictures or make videos after beating them up. Keep protecting yours.
“I pray that all our oppressors will answer for their crimes
against humanity one day.”
