Singers Runtown and Falz have led Nigerians to the streets of Lekki, Lagos in protest against harassment of Nigerian youths by members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The protest comes days after both singers went on Twitter to demand that Nigerians of good conscience come out en masse to air their grievances against the ugly trend of police brutality.
Runtown, first made the call on the 4th October when he tweeted: “This has gone long enough and now we MUST take action! I’ll be leading a protest to #ENDSARS on Thursday, October 8th 2020. They MUST listen to us, they MUST make/effect REAL and VISIBLE changes! Empty promises won’t work this time!!!.
“Let’s all come out to peacefully reach out to our “Elected” leaders beyond social media!!! Venue/Take Off Point: Lekki Phase 1, Toll Gate. 10 AM,” the music star tweeted.
It wasn’t long before Falz, lent his voice to calls for the protest as he tweeted: “I will be at the peaceful #EndSARS protest taking place on Thursday, Oct 8 by 10AM. We take off from Lekki Phase 1 toll gate! cc @iRuntown.”
