Statement
We, Peller Youth Vanguard, hereby earnestly condemn the unlawful and illegal detention of Honourable Shina Abiola Peller, a renown man of peace and extraordinary law abiding citizen. Outrightly, the news of the detention circulating on social media has posed more threat to the dignity of fairness and equity, as it has only unveiled and confirmed the laughable heartlessness of the Nigeria Police, an institution that has sadly lost the image of protection bestowed on them by citizens of this Country.
Honourable Shina Peller only lawfully went to Maroko Police Station to bail his customers arrested for traffic violation. The next reality then put question on the sanity of law as the Nigeria Police did not only harass him for this, but as well got him detained.
We can confidently question the blemished professionalism of the Nigeria Police in the way this sense – deserving issue was handled. And while we appeal for calm from concerned and well- meaning Nigerians, we call on the Inspector General of Police to inject more spirit of disciplined professionalism in his officers.
Honourable Shina Abiola Peller should be released no sooner than now to avert further critical response from well meaning Nigerians , who are well in the stronger know of Peller’s peaceful nature habitual conformity to law. We can not continue with this shameful heat on the heart of justice.
