Naira Marley’s decision to cancel the #EndSARS protest for an Instagram live chat with police spokesman, Frank Mba has not gone well with many Nigerians.

The controversial musician, on Monday, took to his verified Twitter handle to call for a protest on Tuesday morning in Lagos State against the spate of police brutality.

However, before the protest could go underway on Tuesday morning, the singer cancelled the explaining that the government was ready to make changes to address the issue.

“We won’t be protesting anymore because there’s a lot of changes being made right now. As a Marlian we will give them a week to see the changes and if there’s no changes we will start a mass protest. #togetherwecan” the singer tweeted.

The decision of the singer was not welcomed by those who had made up their minds to join the #EndSARS.

The ‘japa’ crooner has come under intense criticism for abandoning the street protest for a discussion on Instagram.

Naira Marley don carry protest go IG live, nice one. I’m surprised it took him this long to cancel it self.

At least we won’t hear about how we only protest on Twitter alone anymore.

I wonder why Nigeria always looks for ways to silence its youths from expressing themselves.

Why is our government keen on our silence?
Naira Marley or Not, the protest is slated for tomorrow to Friday.

The protest has no face. We don’t need your IG live!#WednesdayProtests

Naira Marley was here blabbing about how young Nigerians like online chit chat and protest.

Man organised a protest,on the morning he canceled it like 2baba(2face) and says he’s having a chat with the Nigeria Police Force on Instagram as back up. BRAVO ??

The fact that Naira Marley canceled the planned protest is a REASONABLE thing to do since the Minister of Youths and also the Police have engaged him, assuring that reasonable steps would be taken.

Those castigating him from UK can come to Nigeria to lead the PROTEST.

So Naira Marley who was once prosecuted and jailed for cyber fraud by the EFCC will be representing the entire Nigerian youth today in a live chat with the IGP to answer questions bout SARS and all
