By Nigerian artise, Q dot, Saturday, led the peaceful protest against the brutalities and extrajudicial killings by the #FSARS, Blackbox Nigeria reports.
The Jaiye crooner, who led the protesters in the Ikorodu axis of Lagos, was seen carrying a placard, with the bold inscription” Bullet At Us, Am I Next To Die?”.
On Friday, the #EndSARS hashtag trended not only in Nigeria, but in the UK, Canada, and the United States.
Some other Nigeria artistes – Tiwa Savage, Runtown, Falz, Wulrd and DJ Spinal – were on the streets to lend their voices against the FSARS.
Nigerians are protesting, yet again, after years of horror stories of brazen extortion, illegal detentions, and illegal murders of Nigerians, mostly youths, by the notorious police unit, at the hands of local police. The protesters are demanding the government to scrap the police’s notorious unit.
The recent fury was sparked after graphic footage showing officers from the SARS police unit dragging two men from a hotel in Lagos and shooting one of them in the street.
In the disturbing footage taken by visitors at a hotel and posted on to social media on Saturday, armed officers of the SARS can be seen dragging two limp bodies from the hotel compound into the street before one of the men is shot.
The video has sparked a deluge of footage and stories posted on to social media alleging recent atrocities and brutality by the notorious Sars unit, long accused of rampant abuses.
