Popular entertainers, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, and Runtown, have vowed they won’t back down on the #EndSARS protest in Lagos State against police brutality and extortion.
Both entertainers led the protest, which took place in the Lekki area of Lagos on Thursday.
During the protest, youths were seen carrying placards and chanting #EndSARS with inscriptions on some of the placards read, ‘Enough is Enough’ and ‘We are all victims’.
Both Falz and Runtown counselled the protesters not to be violent as they engaged security operatives who attempted to disrupt the protest.
In an Instagram live chat before the protest, Falz, son of human rights activist, Femi Falana, said, “No backing down. We move. The police are already there, waiting for us but we are not here to cause trouble. It is a peaceful protest. Coming through.”
The protesters, who gathered at Lekki toll gate, are marching to Onikan and Appeal Court through the Nigerian Law School, Lagos.
The protesters are seeking the dissolution of the FSARS unit of the Nigeria Police Force.
Recall that there had been an earlier announcement that the #ENDSARS protest would be held across Lagos for three days, starting from Wednesday.
