An acclaimed human rights activist sponsored by
the Nigerian Government, Kenechukwu Okeke, has
sued 50 Nigerian celebrities including musicians
David Adeleke widely known as Davido, Tiwa
Savage, Folarin Falana known more popularly as
Falz and Aisha Yesufu for allegedly promoting the
#EndSARS protest that swept across the country
in October.

Kenechukwu, who filed a motion on notice at the
Federal Capital Territory Magistrate Court, Abuja,
alleged that the involvement of the celebrities in
the protest led to violence across the country,
which resulted in the destruction of properties
and loss of lives.

The motion on notice was brought pursuance to
Sections 88, 109 (a), 110 (1) (c) of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
“That the 1st to 50th accused persons between
the 3rd day of October 2020 and the 28th day of
October 2020, using Twitter, an Internet web
source with URL https://www.twitter.com within
the jurisdiction of this honourable court did
conspire amongst themselves to commit
misdemeanour, to wit, promoting and acting in
such a manner, with intent to assist in the
promotion of #EndSARS and thereby committed
an offence punishable under Section 97(2) of the
Penal Code Act, C53 Laws of the Federation of
Nigeria, 2004.

“That the 1st to 50th accused persons with intent
to carry out some common purpose, assemble in
such a manner or being assembled under the
composition of #EndSARS as to cause persons in
the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to fear on
reasonable grounds that such assembly needlessly
and without any reasonable occasion may provoke
other persons tumultuously to disturb the peace.

“Properties belonging to the complaint were
egregiously destroyed by some riotous and
tumultuous persons instigated and incited by the
1st to 50th accused persons,” it read partly.
Having initiated criminal proceedings
against the #EndSARS riots promoters at
exactly 1052hrs WAT, 09/11/2020, we shall
ensure that same is diligently prosecuted
in the interest of defence, public safety
and public order.

Others listed as defendants include Damini Ogulu
known as Burna Boy, Peter and Paul Okoye,
Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia, Bankole Wellington,
Michael Ajereh known as Don Jazzy and Debo
Adebayo fondly known as Mr Macaroni.

The list also includes Senior Pastor, Daystar
Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, former Super
Eagles captain, Kanu Nwankwo; activist Deji
Adeyanju, Yul Edochie and Uche Jombo.

A wave of street protests swept across Nigeria in
October as young people poured out to demand an
end to police brutality and bad governance in the
country.

In a bid to break the peaceful demonstrations,
the government sent in armed thugs and security
operatives, who unleashed terror on the people.
The climax came on October 20 when the Lagos
State Government drafted in soldiers of the
Nigerian Army to attack demonstrators at the
Lekki Toll Gate area of the state.

According to Amnesty International, over 10
persons lost their lives following the attack by the
soldiers.

A Judicial Panel of Inquiry has been established by
the Lagos Government to unravel the incident of
October 20 and brutality by personnel of the now
disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

Why is it that the name of Mrs Omoni Oboli is always being ommited on these lists.

She was the first whose announcements of the alleged 78 people shot by soldiers made nairaland front page
https://www.nairaland.com/6209975/actress-omoni-oboli-begins-healing

She was all over the social media and her tweets were being shared in multiple times.
I believe she will be a very valuable witness or defendant in this case.

Do they really really think the victims of the carnage caused by their alleged fake news are going to allow it to go without a fight?

Everyone deserves justice and if she's found lying or spreading fake news should be prosecuted. Her 'breaking news' of people being killed

Whether 7 or 78 people were "massacred " at the lekki toll gate, can we at least get evidences that such happened? ..

I mean, from the video I watched, and said to be recorded by Dj Switch, there should be at least 300 people on that ground.
Are we saying, no one could record or take photos like Switch did?

Switch that claimed people died because the army "directly opened fire on them", why can she not provide even a picture?
