Mr Macaroni, an Instagram comedian, who was arrested yesterday at the Lekki Tollgate protest alongside 39 other #occupytollgate protesters, has released a video saying they were beaten and dehumanised by the Nigerian police, following his release from the Police custody.
He said he has bruises all over his body and was heading to the hospital to check himself. He also said both of his phones were smashed. Macaroni has since been released and back home but said it was a traumatic experience. He said: "The government is responsible for protection. So, let me ask, you had over 200 policemen out there yesterday, and you want to tell me you could not guarantee a peaceful protest if there was going to be one? It shows that you guys are irresponsible, all of you are irresponsible." He said he's certain the police would have killed protesters if word hadn't already gotten out that they had arrested some people and were detaining them.
