David Adeleke, Nigerian Afropop singer better known as Davido,
has alleged that there are attempts to use thugs to discredit the ongoing
#EndSARS protest.
The protest against the excesses of the special anti-robbery
squad (SARS) and police brutality has continued to garner momentum across the
country.
Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), has
announced that the police unit had been banned.
The #EndSARS campaign is gradually raising concerns in some
quarters following activities of hoodlums.
Recall that NigerianEye had reported how some hoodlums orchestrated a jailbreak
at correctional centre in Benin, Edo state, before setting a police station
ablaze in another part of the state, on Monday.
In Lagos, some hoodlums also attacked operatives of the
Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos state police command.
Reacting to the development in a post on his Twitter page,
the Davido said such incidents were indicative of efforts to thwart the
#EndSARS movement.
“They have started hiring thugs to pose as protesters!!! E
no go work!!! #EndSARS,” he wrote.

get them off the streets.
