Singer and actor, Folarin Falana, aka Falz; and skit maker and actor, Debo Adebowale, aka Mr Macaroni, led the second #EndSARS memorial at the Lekki tollgate on Thursday. It will be recalled that on October, 20, 2020, unarmed protesters were fired at by men of the Nigerian Army following their protests against police brutality.
The memorial witnessed many people at the Lekki tollgate holding the Nigerian flag as they sang solidarity songs in memory of those who were killed two years ago.
Falz wrote on Instagram on Thursday, “No matter how many times they try to harass and intimidate us, we will never retreat; not until we get the bare minimum, a government with utmost regard for human rights and the rule of law. We stepped out earlier today to honour some of the bravest Nigerians that have lived; the ones that were slain on October 20, 2020.”
On his part, Mr Macaroni said, “All we want is justice! We love Nigeria so much and I believe that this country can be better, but we all have a huge role to play. Our government must realise that their duty is to serve and protect the people and not oppress and kill us.
“All we want is a better society that all can benefit from. Even police officers are not exempted. We must not allow politicians to divide us. This country must work before we all become victims of a country that has refused to work!”
