Renowned Nigerian activist and content creator, Adebowale Debo Adedayo (Mr. Macaroni), shares a poignant account of his 2021 arrest, revealing how police brutality ignited unwavering fearlessness within him.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Macaroni recounts the traumatic events following his protest against the Lekki Tollgate reopening. Defying Lagos State’s directive led to his arrest, stripping, and torture by police officers who derived pleasure from his suffering.
This harrowing experience, he says, forged unshakeable determination to champion the rights of the oppressed. The #EndSARS protests, sparked by the 2020 Lekki Tollgate killings, fueled his resolve.
