Naira Marley Talks On Leading #EndSars Protest

Nigerian singer, Naira Marley has revealed what will happen to him if he decides to protest against injustice meted on youths by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Marley had on Saturday criticised Nigerians trending ‘EndSARS’ hashtags rather than going out to protest.

“In this country, we love protesting on twitter. That’s the problem.”

However, his tweet was met with backlash from Nigerians who demanded he should lead the protest and watch his fans ‘Marlians’ join him.

In a later tweet on Sunday, Naira Marley said if he decides to protest they would take him to Kirikiri prison.

His tweet read:

“All I’m saying is we need to stop protesting on Twitter because that’s all we’ve been doing. We need to protest in real life, just say you’re scared and you will rather tweet from home."

“If you all want me to lead the protest I will lead but just know that they will send me to kirikiri prison this time.”

SARS, in the past few days has been criticized greatly due to their killing and harassment of innocent Nigerians.

While some Nigerians call for a reform, others demanded end to SARS.

The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added.
