The development is coming few hours after the Lagos State Police arrested Peller over a 36-hour party held by the club.

Reacting to the arrest in a statement, Kola Popoola, Peller’s Press Secretary, described the arrest and detention of the lawmaker as “absurd, irresponsible and uncalled for.”

Peller’s Press Secretary, however, called on the police authorities to immediately prevail on officers of Maroko Police station, to release the lawmaker without delay.

The statement reads as thus; “Prior to the kickoff of the 36 hours non-stop show which usually holds every year at Quilox, Hon. Peller had informed the concerned Lagos traffic authorities to avoid unnecessary traffic gridlock.

“On getting to Moroko police station, the police started harassing Hon. Peller and even went as far as seizing all his phones for no reason.

“The continuous harassment and unjust detain of a member of House of Representatives, Hon. Peller, by the police calls for urgent attention of the media, and the Inspector General of Police,” it added.
