POPULAR comedian and actor, Adebowale Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has called for the release of #ENDSARS protesters who were arrested three years ago.
The activist, during a peace walk to commemorate the third anniversary of the tragic events that took place at Lekki Tollgate, begged the Government to release protesters who are still in prison since 2020.
He said: "The peace walk is to honour all those that lost their lives on October 20, 2020. We’ve done that. We want to walk back, but the police don’t want us to walk back.
We don’t want to give them a reason or an excuse to fire at us. We’ve been on this for three years now, and we know what they are capable of doing.
“I want to use this opportunity to call for the unconditional release of all those [protesters] that are still in prisons. There are still some protesters who have been in prison since 2020. Lawyers have been on the cases, different shouts every day, but till now, they are still there.
“We are using this walk to once again call on all those concerned to grant the unconditional release of all protesters that are still in prison.”
Recall that the #ENDSARS protest was a protest by Nigerian youths who demanded that a police department, SARS, be cancelled after a series of corruption and unlawful killings and extortion.
