Davido Laments Diversion Of Protests By Hoodlums

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Nigerian singer, Adeleke David, popularly known as Davido has strongly condemned the looting and burning of properties in the name of the #EndSARS protests saying it is dishonour to those who lost their lives during the peaceful agitation.

Davido said the #EndSARS protests, which started on a peaceful note has snowballed into “complete anarchy.”

Following, last Tuesday’s incident at Lekki tollgate area of Lagos State, in which soldiers invaded and opened fire on unarmed protesters at Lekki tollgate, hoodlums took advantage of the situation to unleash massive violence on private businesses and police stations.

As result, many private properties have been looted or burnt by the hoodlums.

Reacting to the development, the artiste via series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle, on Sunday evening, said looting and burning of properties is not the best way to honour those who lost their lives during the protests.

Davido said, “It is painful that what started as a peaceful protest has been hijacked and turned into complete Anarchy, in total disrespect to those that lost their lives during the Peaceful protest. This is def not the way to honour those that lost their lives while protesting peacefully.

“What is there to gain from burning and looting private businesses that provide employment to our own people?? Or burgling or burning houses belong to innocent citizens?! Or burning Buses that our own people depend on for transport to go to work and go about their lives???”
