Nigerian content creator and rights activist Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has reacted to reports that former First Lady Patience Jonathan detained 15 domestic workers since 2019 over missing jewellery.
Reacting to the report, Mr Macaroni described the development as painful.
He questioned whether the former first lady still remembered that the domestic workers were still in prison.
He urged Nigerians to stand up against the ongoing trend of wealthy and powerful individuals abusing their authority by imprisoning those who are unable to speak for themselves.
The comedian faulted the continuing detention of the domestic workers, arguing that the are assumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Mr Macaroni wrote, “The injustice in this country is so painful!!!
“According to this report, these men and women have been locked up for over five years without a court conviction!!
“Does Madam Patience Jonathan even remember that they are still in Prison???
“We must stand against this pattern of abusing power that allows rich or influential people lock up others because they cannot speak or fight for themselves. By law, they are innocent until proven guilty!”
