A Nigerian Christian street preacher who was handcuffed and arrested by UK Police for constituting nuisance on the street, has been awarded £2,500 for wrongful arrest.

Oluwole Ilesanmi, 64, has welcomed the payout by the Metropolitan Police as a victory for freedom of speech after he was wrongly accused of Islamophobia.

The former dentist was preaching outside Southgate Tube station in North London in February when he was approached by two officers. A passer-by had earlier called police and accused Mr. Ilesanmi of hate speech.

He admitted to having described Islam as an ‘aberration’ but insists he was simply expressing his point of view as a Christian rather than denigrating Muslims. One of the police officers claimed Mr. Ilesanmi was disturbing the peace, saying: ‘No one wants to hear that. They want you to go away.’

He was handcuffed before the officer gave a thumbs-up to the camera. Mr. Ilesanmi was then bundled into a police car and driven several miles away. There the grandfather was ‘de-arrested’ and let out of the car.

Scotland Yard has now agreed to pay Mr. Ilesanmi £2,500 for wrongful arrest and his humiliating and distressing treatment.

Mr. Ilesanmi told UK's The Mail on Sunday:



In the video, the Police Officer told him no one wants to listen to his preaching and Ilesanmi replied saying

No doubt we're all sinners for the Bible says all jas sinned... But that doesn't mean I should tell a preacher to shut up cos he's talking about the bad things I do...

it's so bad the world is heading for doom so quickly

If he accepts the money, he is a hyporcrite and will go to Hell. He should Forgive and leave revenge for God as so called christians always claim.


Why did he even sue the police? He is supposed to leave it For God to judge as Gullible christians always claims.


This Old man is not different from the so called Atheists.


Typical crooked Nigerian.

I don't know why majority of people recruited into the UK and US police are always atheists and sadists
Most Nigerian police are religious people but still rape and kill people.

Atheist people always have a higher chance of making it in life than religious bigots.
