Nigerian singer, Douglas Jack Agu, professionally known as Runtown, has offered to lead a peaceful protest against the incessant attacks by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
This is in the wake of the ongoing online protest with the hashtag ENDSARS across social media platforms over the killings, extortions and harassments of young Nigerians by SARS officers.
According to the ‘mad over you’ crooner, the police brutality has gone on long enough and it is time to take concrete actions.
The protest is slated to take place on Thursday, October 8th by 10am at Lekki Pase 1, Toll Gate.
His tweet reads,
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.
