\u201cWe cannot afford the sort of vandalism we saw before,\u201d Onigbanjo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn any act of brutality on the part of the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian police force is a legal entity of its own, with its own processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the role of the police stops when it comes to prosecution. The state government will ask the CP to give an account of what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were hell-bent on ensuring that nobody\u2019s right is trampled upon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Recall that Nigerian Instagram comedian, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni and other forty (40) End SARS protesters arrested at Lekki Toll Gate were granted bail on Saturday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported that police operatives deployed to Lekki Toll Gate arrested some protesters including Macaroni.<\/p>\n

The police command was consequently dragged by Nigerians for unlawfully dehumanizing unarmed protesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
