Nigerian celebrities have joined voices calling for an end to police brutality and extra-judicial killings including Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz; pop star, Runtown; Big Brother Naija Reality Television Stars, Elozonam Ogbolu and Prince Enwerem were all part of the protest which is taking place in various locations across the country.
The protest started on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, with youths gathered at Ikeja Underbridge displaying placards and sharing videos and photos using the hashtag #LagosProtests. They vowed to continue the protest for the next three days.
On Thursday, October 8, 2020, the second day of the protest, the youths besieged Police Headquarters in Ikeja and marched to Lekki Toll Gate.
Falz and Runtown also went live on their official Instagram handle showing videos of them leading the protest and chanting EndSARS! EndSARS!
Earlier on Wednesday, Falz, Runtown, and Prince had tweeted announcing that they will be a part of the protest demanding total disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS.
“Tomorrow morning we move out for the #EndSARSprotest! We are not out to cause trouble, but our voices must be heard! 10 am we link up at the Lekki toll gate. #EndSars,” Falz tweeted.
Also in Abuja, the protesters demanding the total disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad besieged the force headquarters.
The campaigners sat on the Shehu Shagari Way, shouting ‘EndSARS,’ while paralyzing vehicular traffic. They also wielded placards with the same inscription.

Not all heroes wear capes.
