And we will continue to keep to that so the narrative can NOT be switched up on us!

“The people they claim broke into prisons to free convicted criminals, burn police stations to steal weapons, damage police, government, and private vehicles are Criminals and everybody must condemn these acts. They are not part of our movement!

“#EndSars is a peaceful and law-abiding protest that is going somewhere great! And no mischief can scatter it!”
