We could have been dead by now -comedian Mr macaroni

By

Nigerian Instagram comedian, Debo Adebayo, widely referred to as Mr Macaroni has shared the horrible experience he had after being arrested by the Nigerian Police Force on Saturday. According to him, they were beaten and stripped naked as if they were criminals.

Mr Macaroni's words:

"firstly, i want to thank everyone for effort they put into ensuring that we all were safely released.

In honesty, it was a horrible experience. I went out not because I’m the only one who is brave enough to protest in Nigeria but because I knew other people would be there as well and also all we wanted was justice.

At some point, I was scared because of the kind of utterances being made by the police officers that arrested us.

I knew people would die. If words weren’t out there about our arrest, they would have killed all of us.

After they arrested us at the Lekki toll gate, we were taken to Adeniji police station where we were beaten and stripped naked.




In fact, if not that videos of our arrest were already all over social media, it would have been another day of mourning the loss of innocent Nigerian youths who came out for a peaceful protest.

The police officials even told us that we are lucky that the news was already everywhere because if it were to be at night, they would have shot us and nothing or nobody will do anything about it."

Looted COVID Palliatives Were Meant For Special Vulnerable Group – Kwara Govt

By
  The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added. Afolabi-Oshatimehin explained that the looted items were meant for specific households, as dictated by CACOVID, and so names had to be properly gene...
