COPS PAY THOUSANDS TO STREET PREACHER
Had been arrested for promoting Christianity
A street preacher who was arrested in London for promoting Christianity has been awarded $2,786 by the Metropolitan Police for wrongful arrest.
Nigerian preacher Oluwole Ilesanmi was arrested in February in front of a subway station after a passer-by called called police, accusing him of “Islamophobic” remarks.
A police officer snatched the preacher’s Bible and said:
“No one wants to hear that.
They want you to go away.”
Officers then drove him several miles away and let him out of the car.
The arrest prompted a petition campaign in March urging the British home secretary to protect street preachers.
