Nigerian content creator and activist, Adebowale Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has revealed the experience that made him fearless.
According to the media personality, he became fearless after his arrest in 2021.
Naija News reports that following the massacre of the #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020, many Nigerian youths kicked against the recommendation for reopening the tollgate.
Mr Macaroni was apprehended by the Nigerian police during the protest against the reopening of the tollgate.
Speaking on the incident in the latest interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Macaroni noted that his experience in the Police custody made him fearless and determined to advocate for the oppressed.
Narrating his ordeal, he explained that he was stripped naked and molested by officers who took pleasure in his suffering.
He said, “I feel I should be involved because God has given me the platform today, not to be popular, but so that I can use the platform to speak up for those that cannot speak for themselves. How can I ask others to make sacrifices that i am not willing to make.
“All the fear in me disappeared after that experience. That is the twist. It was after these guys tortured me and I saw the hate in their eyes, and how angry they were.
“The skit I made doesn’t do justice to what I experienced. I had to do it so that people could watch. I was completely naked. They stripped us naked and I was molested. They were happy and mentioning names. They were saying I was disturbing some people.”
