A video of ‘EndSARS’ protesters shushing Babajide Sanwo-Olu,
governor of Lagos, in the protest against police brutality with ‘FEM‘, a recent
hit song by Davido, has surfaced on social media.
As in other states in the country, the campaign against
police brutality has continued to gain momentum in Lagos.
This is despite the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS), which was accused of harassing citizens.
On Tuesday, Nigerians took to Alausa, Ikeja, to continue
agitations as Sanwo-Olu addressed them a second time.
In his address, the governor had spoken about the issues
protesters raised while revealing his efforts to tackle them.
But a video surfaced on Twitter showing that the crowd had
started chorusing ‘FEM’, which has become track used to shush individuals whose
commentaries are unsolicited by their addressees, while the governor was still
speaking.
“O boy you don dey talk too much, small talk you don dey
look who talk,” they chanted after a DJ played the song.
While commenting on his first encounter with the protesters
back on Monday, Sanwo-Olu had said: “I want to appeal to the protesters to take
a break from protesting tomorrow.
“Tempers are at the highest on all sides at this time. And
while we work to prevent escalation, the safety of our residents is paramount.
I speak not just as a governor, but as a father, brother, and son.
“The safety of everyone involved in peaceful protests across
Lagos is important and, communicating with the CP, this is what we want to
guarantee on all sides. Tomorrow, I will be meeting with HE Pres. @MBuhari in
Abuja.
“I have received the news of casualties at the Surulere
protest as well as other developments we are monitoring.”
