Mr Macaroni condemns killing of Kwara Poly student during police, cultist clash
Comedian, Debo Adebebayo, popularly called Mr Macaroni, has condemned the unfortunate killing of a student of the Kwara State Polytechnic during a clash between police and suspected cultists.
The victim who was simply identified as Jamiu, a final-year student of the institution, was reportedly shot dead on Saturday at Lajolo village in the Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State during a clash between some cult members and some detectives from the Special Tactical Squad, Abuja.
Reacting in a statement released on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, Macaroni said “While we condemn evil, we shouldn’t celebrate or empower another evil. Evil is Evil. You cannot condemn one evil and then excuse another evil that benefits you. Ritual, fraud etc are heinous crimes.
“We can condemn these acts and still condemn police brutality. Trust me, we can.
“Imagine a scenario whereby our dear security agencies are maybe trying to apprehend a criminal. And then they shoot anyhow.. make the bullet come kill innocent pikin. What will you tell the mother? The father nko? And the family? Make we reason am together.[sic]
“Don’t go about killing or brutalizing innocent citizens because you want to do your job.
“I’m saying this because some people believe speaking against police brutality means supporting evildoers. No.
“Evil is evil and we must condemn evil whenever and however we can.”
