Police Standards Investigation Opened After Arrest Of Nigerian Street Preacher In London
5 March 2019

The Metropolitan Police has ordered its Professional Standards Unit to begin a review into the arrest of Oluwole IIesanmi, a Nigerian street preacher, on Saturday 23 February in front of Southgate Tube station, north London.

Police officers said they arrested Mr IIesanmi, "in order to prevent a breach of the peace."

According to Helen Millichap, Chief Superintendent and Enfield Borough Commander, the officers responded to a 999 call at 13:55 on Saturday 23 February from a member of the public who claimed that Mr IIesanmi had made "Islamophobic" comments and been confronted by “a small number” of people. According to the arresting officers, a second witness "supported the allegations made by the original caller."

Officers "deemed it appropriate to remove" street preacher Oluwole Ilesanmi from the area, according to Chief Superintendent Helen Millichap
In the statement the Commander further justified the arrest by describing the preacher's activities as being "perceived as being a potential hate crime." However, nothing in the eyewitness account or video suggests that this was the case.

The police response also contradicts eye witness accounts by failing to make mention of the young man in a hooded top seen aggressively confronting the street preacher threatening him, before fleeing when the police arrived.

The term "Islamophobia" means fear and hatred of the religious ideology Islam. But the term is often misused to mean fear and hatred of Muslim people as well.

Has anyone noticed that the English know the difference between a 'preacher' and a 'pastor'? I know of a certain people group that will call all preachers pastors. While all pastors are preachers it does not necessarily mean that all preachers are pastors. Lesson 101.

I love civilized countries. I wish Nigeria could become a country where the police would be held accountable for mistreating a random street preacher.

Nigeria is civilised, only that civilised past civilised, as in, that civilised has many levels. I am not sure which level of civilised, Naija is on though.

When Naija comes to have established, working and effective institutions, ombudsmans, regulatory authorities etcetera the country will be sweeter to live in.

That's even worse than uncivilised societies. I would rather they remained uncivilised than to be regressive.

Nwanne, my brother, half a loaf is better than none. Naija, in our lifetime, will "soji", that means, woke, come to her senses, to do the right things, and to do each and everyone of them properly.

It is my prayer that her ethical values will change and they would not be defending corrupt officials and politicians.

Psalm 51:1 comes to mind.
Create in Naija and her people a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within her and them almost all. Amen.

Many of the spiritual leaders in the country have to take the lead in repentance because they are culpable for the state of the nation.

It is shameful that they claim to be speaking for God when they prophesied that loser will win the presidential election. God exposed them for the charlatan they are.
