Popular Nigerian comedian and social activist, Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, knowns as Mr. Macaroni, has strongly slammed the way police for harassing and mistreating Nigerians.
Macaroni made this outburst in a post shared on his official X handle. His statement comes following the arrest of the popular journalist, Dele Farotimi.
Macaroni lamented that a lot of crime has already been committed in the process of arresting Farotimi who was only guilty of writing a book that portrayed the exact thing happening in Nigeria.
According to Macaroni, the Nigerian system allows the innocent man who hasn’t been proven guilty of committing any crime suffer while the guilty who commits numerous crimes trying to prove that the innocent man committed a crime roams freely.
His post reads,”Dele Farotimi wrote a book Called “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System” and the brazen impunity which the book seeks to address is playing right before our eyes. How does one describe this insanity?

“Using the Police to abduct a person from one state to another state, the intimidation and harassment of his staff, seizure of their phones… How many crimes have been committed here while trying to investigate whether Mr Farotimi actually committed a crime?
“For how long will the Nigerian Police continue to allow themselves be used by the “High and Mighty” to oppress Nigerians? This is what happens when we support that civil matters be treated as criminal matters because of political differences or stanship.
“We have opened the season to the rich and influential who can have a Nigerian arrested by the police because the person said that the big man’s fart stinks. Even people who should know better now abuse power because there are zero consequences for these actions.
“Our system of corruption allows the innocent man who hasn’t been proven guilty of committing any crime suffer while the guilty who commits numerous crimes trying to prove that the innocent man committed a crime roams freely.”
