Mr. Macaroni Condemns Alleged Injustice Against Domestic Workers Held for Five Years

Nigerian skit maker and activist, Mr. Macaroni, has condemned the alleged prolonged detention of domestic workers accused of stealing jewelry from former First Lady, Patience Jonathan. In a scathing social media post shared on Friday, Mr. Macaroni expressed his outrage over the workers’ detention, which reportedly spans over five years without any court conviction.

“The injustice in this country is so painful!!! According to this report, these men and women have been locked up for over five years without a court conviction!!” Mr. Macaroni wrote, reflecting his deep concern over the matter. He called attention to the apparent failure of the justice system to address the prolonged detention of the accused.

Mr. Macaroni questioned whether Patience Jonathan, who allegedly ordered the arrests, even remembers the domestic workers still languishing in prison. “Does Madam Patience Jonathan even remember that they are still in prison?” he asked, emphasizing the ongoing suffering of the detained individuals.

In his post, Mr. Macaroni strongly criticized the abuse of power by influential individuals. He lamented the injustice that allows such figures to detain others without proper legal procedures. “We must stand against this pattern of abusing power that allows rich or influential people lock up others because they cannot speak or fight for themselves,” he stated, highlighting the need for accountability and reform within the legal system.

The activist’s comments drew widespread attention, with many Nigerians sharing his concerns. They took to social media, expressing their outrage over the continued detention of the workers without trial. The case has sparked widespread calls for a full investigation into the matter and justice for the detained individuals, with many demanding that the authorities intervene.

Further emphasizing the legal aspect, Mr. Macaroni reminded the public that the detained workers should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. “The law is clear; these workers are innocent until proven guilty. It is imperative that the authorities put an end to this injustice,” he urged, stressing that the legal system should protect the rights of all citizens, regardless of their status or background.
