The police brutality in Nigeria seem to have emerged its peak once more after the Nigerian comedian narrated how he was brutalized during his short time in the jail.
Recall that the Nigerian comedian and social media activist, Macaroni was once arrested over community exploits alongside some Nigerian youths for protesting against the Nigerian government.
Months after he was released from jail, he has recounted his awful experience via his Twitter handle. In his words, he labelled that the police men often beat him up and even threatened to kill him.
In his words, he said:
“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 the police, I will run! One said if not that people would ask about me, he would have killed me.”
“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”
