#EndSARS: Runtown set to lead protest, fixes date
Popular Nigerian singer, Runtown has offered to lead a peaceful protest in response to the incessant attacks on youths by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS unit of the Nigeria Police.
However,
his call came after Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, banned FSARS from patrols, stop and search duties across the nation.
In light of this, Runtown scheduled a peaceful protest intended to be a call to action for all levels of government.
He tweeted, “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. 10 am.”
