Police detain Oyo lawmaker, Peller in Lagos

The Nigeria Police Force has  allegedly detained a member of the House of Representatives representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency, Hon. Shina Peller, at Moroko Police station, Lagos State.

The lawmaker’s  Press Secretary, Mr. Kola Popoola, has also called  on the Nigeria police to immediately release his boss.

Kola Popoola in a statement explained that, “Hon. Shina Peller was at Moroko police station to bail some of Club Quilox’s customers who had allegedly parked on the road during a show at the Club.

“Prior to the kickoff of the 36hours non-stop show which usually holds every year at Quilox, Hon. Peller had informed the concerned Lagos traffic authorities to avoid unnecessary traffic gridlock.

“On getting to Moroko police station, the police started harassing Hon. Peller and even went as far as seizing all his phones for no reason.

“The continuous harassment and unjust detain of a member of House of Representatives, Hon. Peller, by the police calls for urgent attention of the media, and the commissioner of Police,” the statement added.
