Mr Macaroni will surely get released sooner or later cos he’s a public figure, my concern is for an average Nigerian who is not famous. Those are the ones that will be charged for crimes they never committed. 💔💔 #EndSARS #Lekkitollgate

It looks like the #EndSARS protest wasn’t enough to end this brutality. Mr Macaroni has also been arrested at the #Lekkitollgate too. All we did wrong was to become a Nigerian

They’ve arrested Mr Macaroni and many peaceful protesters at #Lekkitollgate, as seen on his IG live.
Protest for justice which is human rights is now a crime in Tinubu Lagos & Buhari’s Presidency.
Anyone supporting this tyranny and human rights abuse in Nigeria won’t know peace.

Mr Macaroni and some others has been arrested and violated, not for trespassing but simply for passing the #Lekkitollgate !#EndSARS

The Rights to Peaceful Assembly and Association and the Right to Freedom of Movement are fundamental human rights in the 1999 🇳🇬 constitution and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights. What are the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protesters & Mr. Macaroni being arrested for?
