Nigerian actor and activist, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has once again paid tribute to the victims of the Lekki Toll Gate shooting as the nation marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic #EndSARS incident.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, the comedian reflected on the pain and sacrifices of Nigerian youths who lost their lives, jobs, families, and dreams in the fight against police brutality.
He wrote:
“Nigerian youths lost their lives, jobs, families, and dreams at the hands of the most corrupt and evil people we call leaders! Even though some of us are deeply in love with our oppressors, this day 20/10/2020 is never to be forgotten nor forgiven!”
Accompanied by a powerful photo from the 2020 protests and the song “Unknown Soldier” by Fela Kuti, his post reignited memories of the nationwide demonstrations that demanded an end to police brutality and bad governance.
