The particular incident that led to Macaulay's imprisonment, twice, by the colonial power was
his criticism of British rule through the Lagos Daily News
his constant opposition to the expansion of the British rule
the humiliation of the British officials through his successful defense of Eleko in London
the attempt to silence British officials through the platform of the NNDP
Forklaring
In retaliation to the successful defence of Eshugbayi Eleko as the rightful king of Lagos and the humiliation this brought to the British officials, Macaulay was jailed twice by the colonial power thereafter.
