Most of the big men in our society are the poorest of souls.- segalink

Segun Awosanya, A.K.A Segalink is popularly known for convening the campaign against police brutality in Nigeria on social media as #EndSARS.

In a series of tweets this morning Segalink reacted to the fact that police came all the way from abuja to arrest a web-designer in his home at Surulere for armed robbery withouth carrying out proper investigation.

His tweet below

“Most of the big men in our society have the smallest of minds and are the poorest of souls. Yesterday evening, a team of armed men from @PoliceNG

IRT stormed Aguda surulere without reporting at @PoliceNGLagos

command to execute an extraction based on an Armed robbery petition.

The journeyed all the way from Abuja, stormed the residence of a known credible web designer and linear editor traumatizing there family and carting away all his computers and phone while abducting him as ordered to Abuja. When @SIAF_NG

was contacted by the traumatized wife…

…we made further enquiries only to realize that a certain Chief Akinbami, Vice Chairman of @FAAN_Official

wrote a petition against this young man at IRT claiming he is an Armed Robber just because of a N1M job that went south due to his non-compliance & response.

At least this was what the team said when they were asked their purpose for engagement. But thankfully, we engaged the state command via @ElkanaBala

and the mixup is being sorted. The IRT are on the track of Armed robbers & also wanted to clear the petition on the web designer.

The Police PRO Lagos has weighed in and it has been agreed that they grant the web designer bail to sort out the misunderstanding on the contract dispute. We also cintatacted the FHQ on this shameful engagement and abuse of the IRT in order to forstall a reoccurrence.

see no reason why alleged Big Men in society will continue to denigrate the police structures and reduce tactical police units to bounty hunters and human rights abusers. What if the team had engaged this young man like they would an armed robber?

The only promise we made to the family is that Mr Gabriel Olayemi will not be whisked out of Lagos under this illegal conspiracy. No civilization operates like this and the police institution will not be allowed to decay further than it is. It will take our collective efforts.

The combination of efforts of the State Command, FHQ Abuja and the @rrslagos767

with @SIAF_NG

will continue to ensure that citizens are not oppressed unduly on their own fatherland by degenerates seeking to prove they are above the law. Civil matters are what they are.”

Oppression every where. Just because they are in position, they see themselves as the Alpha & Omega, with the attitude of No One can question me. Very Unfortunate.
