The Lagos State Police Command
has disclosed that member of House of Representatives member and club owner,
Shina Peller was arrested and detained after he stormed Maroko Police Station
with over 50 thugs to remove some vehicles seized by Police at his club.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Bala Elkana, said Peller’s club, Quilox, was fond of obstructing free
flow of traffic.
He explained that the lawmaker
had been warned many times, but he refused to do anything about it.
He said after some of his
customers’ vehicles caused gridlock on Monday, the police intervened by towing
three of the vehicles.
Bala claimed that Peller mobilised
thugs, invaded the station and forcefully removed the vehicles.
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.
“Up till 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 been talked to many
times, but he refused to listen. This morning, our patrol vehicles towed three
vehicles out of that place so that people could 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 excerise a lot of restraints.
“They have been moved to the
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, where they are
being investigated.”
