Shina Peller

The Lagos state police command has given reasons why he arrested and detained a House of Representatives member, Shina Peller.

He said, "The honourable is the owner of that club and his customers are fond of parking on the road and blocking the road. If you want to pass that place, you will have tough times.

"Uptill 9am, the club was still on. They refused to remove their vehicles and Lagosians were seriously disturbed. Even Mr Governor was affected this morning. He had to manoeuvre his way through it.

"This man had talked to many times, but he refused to listen. This morning our patrol vehicles towed three vehicles out of that place so that people can pass.

"This honourable mobilised over 50 thugs to attack Maroko Police Station,to move those vehicles out. We had to send reinforcement from neighbouring stations before they were able to curtail the situation. That was how he was arrested with five of the thugs, while others escaped. We had to exercise a lot of refreshments.

"They had been moved to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, where they are being investigated."
