Unconfirmed report has it that a member of the House of Representatives, Shina Peller has been arrested by the police in Lagos State.

The lawmaker is the owner of a popular Lagos club, Quilox.

Peller’s Press Secretary, Kola Popoola in a statement claimed that the lawmaker’s offence was not disclosed to him as his phones were seized.

The statement reads: “Peller was at Moroko Police Station to bail some of Club Quilox’s customers who had allegedly parked on the road during a show at the club.

“Prior to the kickoff of the 36 hours non-stop show which usually holds every year at Quilox, Peller had informed the concerned Lagos traffic authorities to avoid unnecessary traffic gridlock.

“On getting to Moroko Police Station, the police started harassing Peller and even went as far as seizing all his phones for no reason.

“The continuous harassment and unjust detaining of a member of House of Representatives, Peller, by the police calls for urgent attention of the media, and the Commissioner of Police.”

There is yet to be any reaction from the police at the time of the report.
