Top Nigerian Celebrities, Wizkid, Donjazzy, Davido And Olamide Join Forces To Fight Against SARS And Police Brutality

Since the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria endorsed the search of its citizens who are suspected to be involved in a fraudulent act, both Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and the Nigerian Police Force have used it as an opportunity to harass and even end the lives of innocent youths in the country.

This has led to the online protest, #endsars , which has been trending on all social media platforms, calling on the Government to put an end to SARS and Police brutality. Top Nigerian celebrities have also taken to their various social media pages to react to the killings of the innocent Nigerian citizens, especially the youths.
