Shina Peller’s colleague in the House of Reps, Akin Alabi has accused the Lagos state police commissioner of intentionally arresting the Quilox club owner because he wanted to settle a score with him.
Akin Alabi who was reacting to the arrest of Shina Peller also alleged that police brutally knows no status for illegally arresting Peller when he went to bail his customers and trying to change the narrative by saying that Peller mobilized thugs to invade the police station.
According Akin Alabi, ‘so founder of Quilox and House of Representatives member, Shina Peller went to bail his customers that were illegally arrested, then the Police at Maroko police station detained him as well. Police brutality knows no status’.
He went on to say, “we are on our way to Panti. First of all, the cars of the customers were towed and seized for violating traffic. FINE. But they were arrested and told to pay N100,000 bribe. Why one earth do you need to pay the police a bribe after your car has already been seized.
“You arrest those parked on the road. Someone goes to bail the people arrested. You arrest the person to. That summarizes why Shina Peller was arrested.”
In another tweet he said:
Nobody is above the law is the saying and if the law is wrongly administered you seek redress in the law courts. Why should a man who came in to release his clients end up in the cell ? More to this than meets the eye! Let justice and peace reign! All these stories of police demanding bribe should start being evidenced. Bribery in police must stop!
