December 26, (THEWILL) – Adebowale Adedayo, also known as Mr Macaroni, has said that insecurity in Lagos State has worsened under the tenure of the present Governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Macaroni took to his Twitter handle on Monday morning, to make this known. He also lamented the level of oppression, brutality and extra-judicial killings facing the state and blasted the Governor for not being able to control the police.
The activist was reacting to the incident of a female lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was shot dead by a policeman in the Ajah area of Lagos State on Christmas Day.
The woman was trying to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge when the cop shot at her vehicle. The bullet was said to have hit the victim and she was rushed to a hospital, where she was confirmed dead.
Reacting to the incident, Macaroni tweeted, “Dear Governor Babjide Sanwo-Olu, the level of insecurity, oppression, brutality and extra-judicial killings since you became Governor has worsened. You don’t control the police? Ok. But you are the Chief Security Officer of the state. What are you doing about it, sir?”
Also responding to a tweet by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who described the incident as unfortunate and avoidable, Macaroni told the Police Superintendent that “If it was a civilian that the police accused of a crime, even before proven guilty, you will give us their names, even snap pictures or make videos after beating them up. Keep protecting yours.
“I pray that all our oppressors will answer for their crimes against humanity one day,” he added.
