When he was asked by a reporter during the protest what procedures the entertainer had taken to fight for justice, Falz’s said: “I think it’s import that Nigerian youths focus on the next election, to be able to usher in a new set of people, people serious about justice, people serious about the rule of law, people serious about respecting what the people want, people serious about respecting the human rights of the people, that’s another thing we should focus on.
“But asides from that, we need to clamour for justice and continue to memorialize the one that laid down their lives for us.”
Falz also stated that the protest was a peaceful one, adding that they had no intention to cause any conflict.
The Nigerian artiste, actor, and human rights activist is popular for holding the government accountable.
He is toeing the path of his parents, Femi and Funmi Falana, who are both lawyers and activists.
