The Lagos State Police on Monday arrested a House of Representative member, Hon. Shina Peller. Peller, member representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Oyo State, was allegedly arrested while trying to take the bail of some clubbers, who are regular customers at his Quilox club.

 

In a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Kola Popoola, Peller claimed that his offense was not disclosed to him as his phones were seized. The statement added that he is still being detained at Maroko Police Station in Lagos.

 

“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, by the police calls for urgent attention of the media, and the Commissioner of Police,” it added.
