SEUN KUTI: “It should be Good against Evil, Not the Police Vs Citizens” – Mr Macaroni speaks

Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, better known by his stage name Mr. Macaroni, has shared his thoughts on the detention of Afrobeats musician Seun Kuti by the Nigerian Police Force.

Using his verified Twitter account, Mr. Macaroni commented on Seun Kuti’s incident with a police officer in Lagos while subtly criticizing the Nigeria Police Force.

In expressing his displeasure with the police, Mr. Macaroni brought up the seeming contrast between the police’s conduct when harassing individuals and how quickly they seek justice when one of their own is injured.

Additionally, he demanded that Seun Kuti’s rights be upheld in their pursuit of justice.

In his words:

“I love how the Nigerian Police is quickly seeking Justice for one of theirs who was assaulted. I hope such speed is also applied when Citizens are being harassed and brutalized by the Nigerian Police. While I totally condemn assault on Police officers, I also condemn any form of maltreatment against Seun Kuti. As the police attempt to fight for the rights of one of theirs, Seun Kuti’s rights must also be respected. The Law should be allowed to take its course.

I hope the Nigerian Police understand how the people also feel when they assault, brutalize, humiliate and oppress us. All we want is for things to be done rightly. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. I hope the Police and the Citizens understand this.”

“It should be Good against Evil. Not the Police Vs Citizens because we all are capable of both good and evil. If we want a better society, we must encourage good and shun evil.”
