Mr Macaroni and the other protesters were arrested on Saturday morning for protesting at the Lekki toll gate.

The protest was held to show displeasure with the decision of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry allowing the Lekki Concession Company to reopen the Lekki tollgate.

On Saturday night the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Muyiwa Adejobi told The Punch that Mr Macaroni and the others had been granted bail.

A graduate of Redeemers University, Ede, Mr Macaroni had learnt his voice and rallied with #EndSARS protesters against police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria in October 2020.
