Seun kuti: “I hope the Nigerian Police understand how the people also feel when they assault, brutalize, humiliate and oppress us” – Mr Macaroni

Popular comedian and social media influencer, Adebowale Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has expressed his thoughts on the arrest of Afrobeats star, Seun Kuti, by the Nigerian police.

Taking to his Twitter page, Mr Macaroni condemned the assault on the police officer who was slapped by Kuti. He pointed out that the security personnel in the country now have firsthand experience of how it feels to be assaulted and oppressed.

While acknowledging the need for justice, Mr Macaroni also emphasized the importance of respecting Seun Kuti’s rights during the process. He called for a fair and just handling of the situation, urging that Kuti’s rights should be upheld even as justice is pursued.

“I love how the Nigeria Police is quickly seeking justice for one of theirs who was assaulted. I hope such speed is also applied when Citizens are being harassed and brutalized by the Nigeria Police.

“While I totally condemn assault on Police officers, I also condemn any form of maltreatment against Seun Kuti.

“As the police attempt to fight for the rights of one of theirs, Seun Kuti’s rights must also be respected. The Law should be allowed to take its course.

“I hope the Nigerian Police understand how the people also feel when they assault, brutalize, humiliate and oppress us. All we want is for things to be done rightly.

“Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. I hope the Police and the Citizens understand this.

“It should be Good against Evil. Not the Police Vs Citizens because we all are capable of both good and evil. If we want a better society, we must encourage good and shun evil.”
