Honorable member of the House of Representatives, Shina Peller, has been released on bail after he was arrested and detained yesterday by the Lagos State Police Command.

Shina Peller is said to have been detained for mobilizing 50 thugs to invade a police station in a bid to recover cars belonging to customers of his Quilox night club in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Quilox night club has now been sealed off by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency.

Speaking on the detention, fellow lawmaker, Hon Akin Alabi stated that police brutality knows no status.

Alabi wrote: “So founder of Quilox and House of Representatives member, @ShinaPeller went to bail his customers that were illegally arrested… then the Police at Maroko police station detained him as well. Police brutality knows no status.

“We are on our way to Panti. First of all, the cars of the customers were towed and seized for violating traffic.

“But they were arrested and told to pay N100,000 bribe. Why on earth do you need to pay the police a bribe after your car has already been seized.”
