Igbere TV reports that Afrobeat singer Femi Anikulapo-Kuti on Thursday joined the #EndSARS protesters in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos to offer his support after armed men stormed the area.

Men armed with machetes and other weapons arrived at the protest scene and immediately sent protesters and bystanders scampering for safety.

Femi, 58, got to the scene moments later with his son Omorinmade Anikulapo-Kuti.

In a tweet, Femi urged the protesters to continue.

“Got to Alausa a while ago but hijackers had left. Continue the fight!” he wrote.

In another tweet, he said the armed men were chased away.

“Sorry the THUGS had been chased away. Well done,” he wrote.

Femi told a fan who hailed him for showing up in Alausa that the protest was for the youths and that he only came around because armed men invaded the protest.

He wrote: “It’s the protest of the youths. Only cause thugs were sent. It’s a peaceful protest no room for intimidation.”

It was gathered that one person was injured in the attack.

Femi had on October 12 joined the protest in Ajuwon area of Ogun State and allegedly prevented the police from shooting at the protesters.

The protests, which began on a peaceful note, became heated after the police alleged that the protesters hurled stones at them.

Some protesters were also detained until the legendary singer waded into the brewing crisis.

Igbere TV reports that Femi who went there with son Made tweeted that he was in Ajuwon to stop the police from shooting at protesters and make sure the protest went on successfully.

Eyewitnesses at the protests alleged that the police, in order to disperse protesters, collected their cars and shot tear gas canisters.

Youths are protesting against police brutality, extortion and harassment following the scrapping of the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Good one. Peaceful protests remain the only platform to citizens to vent there displeasures. Shame to all undemocratic elements. Nigeria will be great again.

This protest is gradually gaining more support..

mumu yoots

people wey dey join them no dey read news? dem no hear say government has agreed to all of their demands? this thing happening in this country is because we have failed to use force to disperse these jobless protesters.

...And the major reason FG is not using force is because of the financial support it is getting from international community. You need to act like a slave of democracy in order to enjoy these things in full.


Nobody on this forum has been able to tell us why this protest should continue. All they keep doing is mentioning and cursing people who give cogent reasons why it must be suspended.

Very unintelligent and useless folks

Let me school you: the protests should not stop until we see radical changes on ground. Setting up commissions and panels didn't start today!

If the protests fizzle out too quickly, the govt will go to sleep again. And mind you, the protest is sending a bigger message to the govt - end hunger, end northernization, end border closure that has now doubled the prices of foodstuffs, etc. And to top it all, end Nigeria!
