As the protest against SARS lingers on, Afro-pop music star, Dice Ailes has led a group of #EndSARS protesters in Toronto, Canada, declaring that he and other protesters aren’t afraid of dying.
In a series of post on his social media pages, in which he disclosed that he led the demonstration against the lingering police brutality in Nigeria, Dice Ailes expressed satisfaction that Nigerian youths are not timid in the face of oppression.
While charging the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to take responsibility, the music star explained that police brutality is a product of bad governance, and until the incumbent administration take responsibility for extra-judicial killings, wanton arrests and dispossession of properties through physical assault and other intimidation tactics often perpetrated by men of the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), “the fight to end the lingering societal menace continue.”
Dice Ailes said Nigerians have suffered human rights abuse from the police force in the past, adding that the protest will remain a continuum until the incumbent administration fully address the issue of poverty, insecurity, police brutality, amongst other issues Nigerians have since been dealing with.
