Flavour and Phyno, two Nigerian singers, have alleged that
their lives are being threatened over their involvement in the ongoing #EndSARS
protest.
The two artistes, born Chinedu Okoli and Chibuzor Azubuike
respectively, led the protest against the operatives of the special
anti-robbery squad (SARS) on Saturday in Enugu.
The protest had degenerated into a heated exchange between
the singers and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the state governor, while he was addressing
the protesters at the government house.
The singers had accused the governor of hiring thugs who
attempted to disrupt the protest, adding that he refused to address issues
raised by the demonstrators before walking out on them.
“Enugu! Today our lives were threatened and we are making it
clear that if anything happens to any single one of us or any protestors, let
it be known that it was done by the Enugu state government! @phynofino,
@ZoroSwagbag, @iam_kcee, @masterkraft,” they wrote.

“Today, our peaceful protest in Enugu from Ogbete Market to
the Enugu state government house was going well until we reached the government
house. Along the way, we noticed a group of thugs joined the protests.
“The governor came out but refused to speak up and address
the protestors, instead he addressed the thugs. The thugs tried to fight us but
we maintained peace because we recognized their plan.
“We made sure the youth remained calm yet the governor refused to answer our questions! Instead, he walked out on us, unapologetically, with the thugs following him. We made it clear that we knew the people he was pretending to address were paid thugs.”
The singers vowed not to back down in the quest to end
police brutality in the country through peaceful protests.
