Debo Adebayo, Nigerian comedian popularly known as ‘Mr Macaroni’, says police officers who arrested him and other protesters at Lekki tollgate yesterday, told them that they would have been killed if the demonstration had taken place at night.
Mr Macaroni spoke in a video on Sunday — less than 24 hours after he was arrested alongside other youth over their involvement in the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protest.
In the now-viral video the comedian posted on his twitter handle, @mrmacaronii he revealed details of what transpired from the point of arrest to when they were granted bail.
According to Mr Macaroni, the police took them to Adeniyi axis of Lagos where they were beaten and stripped naked.
The 28-yr-old entertainer, who was an active participant of the #EndSARS campaign in October 2020, said they were told that had it been the protest occurred at night, they would all have been killed.
“If the word was not out that people were already being arrested, people would have died. They were telling us that ‘we’ll shoot you and nothing will happen. If it was night, all of una for don die” he said.
