Elliot, a lawmaker also addressed the #EndSARS protesters as children, during plenary at the House of Assembly.

“When I read the comments, I could not believe it, Mr Speaker. The curses, abuses from children and I asked myself is this Nigeria, what is going on?

I support #EndSARS but....“Children cursing, people entering Oba’s palace and removing his staff of office, our culture is gone,” he said.

Reacting to Elliot’s comment, DJ Switch said “Desmond Elliot calling us children is very annoying.
