His employer said he was actually on his way back from Shomolu where he'd gone to print paper bags when he was stopped by police officers. He supposedly showed them his I.D card but was still taken to Alakara police station on Agege motor road where he was locked up. All efforts to have him released has so far proved abortive.
The community CDA chairman and executives have gone to the station to bail him and identify him but have not succeeded. He hasn't been charged with any offence and this is the 3rd day. He is said to be the sole benefactor of his family.
Is the police supposed to hold anyone for more than 24 hours without charging them? Biko, Lekan needs to be released asap or charged if he committed any offense...

Good!
Really?
I thought they only arrest when you are not with an ID
same unjustified arrest of citizen as usual. Its cos at the end, none of the ppl involved get punished
Lolzzzz
They will soon change the story and say he's a suspected cultist or armed robber. You don't know our police? Maybe those ppl went there without money, and police once they take you to that station, they expect money to come out. God help touch their heart to be good ppl
These policemen have all gone crazy. The IGP better call his boys to order.

Nigeria Police fear lawyer, hire one and the lawyer will secure his bail within one hour.
Linda you might not know how far this action of yours has gone to bring succor to people like Lekan. Your voice "LINDAIKEJI. BLOGSPOT. COM" is so loud that so many people has being freed from bandage, cells, prisons as well as hope restored.

Nigerian police needs to review human rights cos it seems they're feeling like they can do what ever pleases them

Nigerian Police Force needs to understand the law, he's not suppose to be arrested.
Police is our friend indeed.. God bless Nigeria
Nigerian Police should just be scrapped, let us just start afresh!
NPF don't know their work...
Mr Driver what's good in getting someone arrested without an offence?
The movement was suspects, but in a normal way he should be granted bail. Lagos is change place now.

Police is getting worse day by day since the inception of this new IG. It was not as bad as this during Abubakar time.
Our oga IG, try to caution your boys, the way they unlawfully arrest innocent people is alarming.
You heard his version only. The story is one sided
You are right. Very right.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
Don't be surprised if they have killed the boy
Nigeria police are the most useless people in this country. They will not see people rubbing in the traffic but som1 walking in the street.

Same in Sango Ota Ogun State. with or without ID, you will be arrested. now were have to sneak in and out of our homes.
I hope they don't implicate this poor guy further. Nigerian police. Smh
And since when has it been criminal to be a Nigerian, going about your legit hustles in Nigeria and not have an ID? Receive sense in Jesus' name

Naija police self ehhhh
The Police is NOT your friend!!!
Why not get a lawyer and sue the DPO and IPO and the IG of Police for denying him his universal fundamental human rights via unlawful detention? This is a case that can fetch him Nmillions of Naira and possibly bring criminal charges against the IPO and DPO.
Dirty Cops.
Every family should have a lawyer. Before you say jack my lawyer has written. I know my right like the back of my hand. God help all of us in Nigeria. His lawyer should start work immediately and free him from all this suffering.
My own brother was also arrested in Lagos for wandering. The court clerk told me on phone that a surety and the sum of #500000 is required for ball. Nigerian police and the Judiciary lmao.
