He has liver problem’ — sister of arrested #EndSARS campaigner raises the alarm

Onomene Adene, sister of Eromosele, one of the #EndSARS campaigners arrested by the police, says her brother has a liver problem.

WE had reported how Eromosele was arrested after police invaded his residence in Ikeja, capital of Lagos, on Saturday.

Speaking on Channels TV Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Onomene said the police used her as bait to reach her brother.

She said the officers arrested him after claiming that he was involved in a fraudulent transaction.

He (one of ths policemen) said he was looking for Peter. He said they bought commodities from him and they transferred money to his Zenith Bank account but he didn’t deliver the commodities. I told him my brother does not sell anything. This story, I am not buying it,” she said.

“My brother is a musician, he is a philanthropist. He is the owner of Belle Full Naija on Instagram, he takes care of the less privileged.”

Onomene said Eromosele has been moved from the Lagos state command to Abuja where he is still being interrogated.

She said the 27-year-old had a problem with his liver after a philanthropic event in 2019, adding that his continued stay in detention may complicate his health condition.

“During his Belle Food Naija last year, he went to about six states to share alms. So, when he came back, he had some issues with his liver. Maybe because of the change of environment or the situation of the places he found himself because of his love for this country,” she said.

“He came back with some issues with his liver, hepatitis something, I can’t remember which. That is not even good for him. Him being there, him being in a place he is not used to is not good for him. Anything can actually happen to him. He needs to be released.”

Also speaking during the programme, Babatunde Jinadu, Eromosele’s legal representative, said his client has been in the clinic since his transfer to the force criminal investigation department (FCID) at the police headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

The lawyer accused the police of using different antics to keep the #EndSARS campaigner in detention.

“I am here to see him and I will still apply for his bail again after whatever investigation they want to carry out. And I hope they will grant the bail,” he said.
