Comedian and activist, Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni has insinuated that insecurity in Lagos State has skyrocketed under the tenure of the present governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
He said this via his Twitter handle on Monday morning while lamenting at the level of oppression, brutality and extra-judicial killings the state is witnessing and blamed the governor for not being able to “control” the police.
This follows after the death of Female Lawyer ,Bolanle Raheem, who was shot dead by a policeman in the Ajah area of Lagos State on Christmas Day.
Reports have it that late Bolanle 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.
Macaroni who reacted to this tragedy 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?
He further responded to another tweet by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who described the incident as unfortunate and avoidable.
Insight Media disclosed that, 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.
