He was among protesters who spent the night in front of Lagos State House of Assembly in a bid to express their grievances against extortion and brutality by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Himself and other celebrities like Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz and pop star, Runtown, Tiwa Savage, Rude Boy and many others joined other Nigerians in a protest, calling for an end to police brutality and extra-judicial killings.

Giving an update about his current situation, Mr Macaroni, was as at press time livestreaming his arrest via his Instagram page.

According to the video, he was first arrested at Lekki tollgate, then later moved into police vehicle known as ‘Black Maria’.
