Shina Peller, a member of the House of Representative and owner of popular club, Quilox, has been arrested and detained by the police in Lagos.
Peller, who represents Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Oyo State, was arrested while allegedly trying to bail some clubbers from the police station this morning December 23rd.
A statement released by Kola Popoola, his Press Secretary, reads in part
“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 36 hours non-stop show which usually holds every year at Quilox, Peller had informed the concerned Lagos traffic authorities to avoid unnecessary traffic gridlock.
On getting to Moroko Police Station, the police started harassing Peller and even went as far as seizing all his phones for no reason.
“The continuous harassment and unjust detaining of a member of House of Representatives,Peller, by the police calls for urgent attention of the media, and the Commissioner of Police.”
