The police in Lagos State have reportedly arrested and detained Peller, at the Moroko Police Station over a 36-hour party held by the club.
The spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, Bala Elkana has now reportedly confirmed the arrest and alleged that the politician and businessman mobilized about 60 thugs to attack men of the Maroko Police station
Read his statement below.
”The honorable has a club house. They operated up till 9 am. The trouble there is all the customers parked on the road and blocked the road and other road users could not access the road because that has been the practice there so it is causing a lot of obstruction for people and hardship for road users.
“Now, police went and moved out vehicles that have blocked the road there and towed them to the station. The honorable mobilized thugs, over 60 thugs, to attack Maroko police station and then moved those vehicles out. Police exercised restraint if not it would have been disastrous.
“Having respect for him as a honorable member, quickly we also mobilized and he was arrested alongside 5 other thugs. Others were jumping through the fence and ran away but we got him and five others which is the reason for his arrest.
“He is currently being moved to the state CID for investigation.”
