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.”
