Sister Of EndSARS Protester Says Police Tricked Her To Nab Brother

A sister to an #EndSARS protester, Onomene Adene, says she was deceived by the police to arrest her brother, Eromosele Peter Adene.

In the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests against police brutality, there have been reports of the authorities singling out perceived leaders of the demonstration for interrogation.

Confirming the arrest of her brother, Onomene speaking on Channel Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, said that  she was deceived by policemen to arrest her brother last Saturday.

She said: “On Saturday (November 7), I got a call some minutes past 7am from a man who said he was formerly a church member, he said he had gone to our church which used to be at GRA; we moved just before the lockdown to Ipaja.

“He said he went to our church at GRA and discovered that we are no more there, but he had a parcel for my dad who is the pastor of the church.

“Seeing that we were no more there, he came to Allen where we stay. He said he was at Solanke; I didn’t know where Solanke was and I told him to come to First Bank Bus Stop.”

According to Eromosele, she got to the venue only to discover that it was all a lie.

She continued: “I just asked him (the man), how can I help you, and the next thing he said was he’s looking for Peter. ‘You are looking for my brother, why? While I was still asking, the next thing I heard was ‘these are my men’, I turned around and I saw three other men and I was like what’s going on here?

“He said he was looking for Peter; they bought commodities from him, they transferred money to his Zenith Bank account, and he didn’t deliver the commodities. I told him my brother does not sell anything; this story, I’m not buying it.

“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.”

The lady disclosed that despite her disclosing details of what her brother does, the men still stated that she must take them to her house and in the process, a group of policemen led by Hamzat, who is a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) in three Toyota Hilux vehicles arrived at the scene.

“They deceived me to get to my brother. When they got to the house, they were still telling the story of how they bought commodities from him and he didn’t deliver.

“Even when the lawyer came in, the lawyer asked them, ‘are you here to effect an arrest?’ And he said, no, and still, they took my brother away that same day,” Onomene said.

She debunked the claim that her brother was one of the converners of the #EndSARS protest but just like other protesters.
