In an interview on Daybreak Hitz, Medikal discussed the difficulties he faced following his 2021 arrest for posting a video of himself with a gun on social media. He described feeling dehumanised by the experience, calling it unfair.
“My last interaction with the police was far from friendly. I had to clear my name with embassies before I could travel,” he said, noting how stressful the process was.
Further, Medikal also explained that he didn’t realise posting a picture with a registered gun on social media was an offense. He expressed disappointment with how his case was manage , arguing that he didn’t commit a crime.
“Brandishing a weapon isn’t just taking a photo of something the police have registered and licensed to you,” he stated.
While sceptical of the next government, Medikal hopes they will treat citizens fairly moving forward.
