The Nigeria Police Force is allegedly holding hostage a member of the House of Representatives representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency, Hon. Shina Peller, at Moroko Police station, Lagos State.
A statement sent by Peller’s Press Secretary, Mr. Kola Popoola, called on the Nigeria police to immediately release his boss.
The statement reads: “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.
