Nigerian singer and actor, Folarin Falana aka Falz, and his colleague, Peter Okoye have criticized Nigerian police for neglecting to safeguard citizens during the 2023 general elections.
Their focus was on the assault on voters in Lagos state by thugs committed to the state’s ruling party.
The gubernatorial election in Lagos State was disrupted by a high degree of violence and intimidation, many of which occurred right in front of security authorities.
Reacting to the chaos, Falz tweeted;
“I am so livid. This level of fuckery is unbelievable!
A couple of Arise TV journalists were very badly beaten up at my polling unit. OF COURSE, in the presence of Police officers!”
On the basis of which logic do you conclude that it’s okay to use force to get people to ‘vote’ for you ? All you supporters and enablers of this fxxkery are even more despicable. You know better, but you are EVIL at heart. You are VILE!”
Peter Okoye also joined the outrage and tweeted;
“We do not have police in Nigeria! All we have is thugs with uniforms! SHAME ON THEM!”
