Comedian Mr Macaroni has advised celebrities to drag trolls to court instead of calling the police to “illegally” arrest or jail them.
Though he never took legal action, he claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress had sent trolls to defame him on several occasions.
He warned that there was “serious danger” involved in “illegally detaining citizens” with the assistance of the police.
Mr. Macaroni urged his colleagues to cease using their connections in government to “illegally detain citizens.”
On his X handle, Mr Macaroni wrote: “If anyone insults you or defames your character, go to court and seek justice.
“APC trolls insult me and tell so many Lies against my person. I have never for once used the police to illegally arrest or detain anyone and Never will I.
“There is serious danger in using the police to illegally detain citizens. I hope those of you supporting this abuse of power won’t cry foul when you or your loved ones are the victims.
“To be clear, this is not to support Online bullying and harassment. I vehemently condemn it and think those responsible ought to be held accountable for their deeds.
“I am a victim myself and I know how mentally damaging it is. But go to court and seek justice like the rest of us do.
“Don’t use your friends in government to illegally detain citizens. It may favor you now but think about tomorrow when you no longer have that power or the closeness to that power.
“It might not be you, it might be someone you care about. What will become of us if everyone takes law into their own hands?”
