Laycon, DJ Cuppy, Adesuwa Etomi and other celebrities amplifying #EndsSARSProtests online

Celebrities like Folarin “Falz” Falana, DJ Cuppy, Adesuwa Etomi-Wellington, Laycon, John Boyega, and many other celebrities have donated their voices both online and physically to causes related to the #EndSARS movement as the nation continues to see protests related to outright and systemic abuse and police brutality.

A renewed focus was placed on the #EndsSARS movement fresh bouts of peoples’ tweets on their experience with the members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). This has sparked protests in different parts of the country.

Many celebrities attended protests, but others have used social media to promote the campaign that seeks to make calls to “end SARS”.

Here’s a rundown of just some of the prominent figures that have lent their voice to the cause.

Today is a good day to #EndSARS

When Adesua Etomi-Wellington tweeted this, a twitter user replied saying, “In your house or on the streets?”. She commented saying, You don’t know people’s situations. Let those that can go out go out, let those that can tweet tweet, let those that can Instagram, post. Focus on the people doing absolutely nothing, like THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.”

Hello, I’m Frank. I will NEVER support cybercrime or “yahoo”. I will also NEVER support the random harassment, shooting or killing of citizens by police/SARS/ARMY/Paramilitary/Politician’s Escorts etc. So.. #EndPoliceBrutality #EndArmedForcesBrutality

Three years ago Nigeria’s police chief re-organised SARS after public condemnation about the violence that came with their operations. That change has done nothing for Nigerians and today many are still in danger. #EndSarsProtests

PERIOD.

I’ve been taking the last few days to fully research on the topic of #PoliceBrutalityInNigeria, I didn’t want to jump on a hashtag before understanding the stories of the victims… + I’ve been deeply saddened at the fact that history continues to repeat itself.

Too many lives have been lost to injustice and brutality in this country. No cause justifies the killing of innocent people. Kudos to everyone risking it all by protesting! ???? TOGETHER WE WILL WIN! #EndSarsNow #EndPoliceBrutality #EndSARSProtest

Going against the advice of those around me, but it doesn’t feel right. Silence can say so much. My fellow Nigerians, forgive me for taking so long to comment…

How many young Nigerians will have to be robbed/ kidnapped/killed by SARS before our Government takes it seriously? The “Special Anti-Robbery Squad” is doing the robbing?! Such a disgrace. What will it take for our “leaders” to do something about it? #EndSARS #EndSarsNow
