… as Yomi Shogunle blocks Ruggedman on Instagram
More celebrities have risen against the Special Anti-Robbery Police Squad following the killing on a young man, Kolade Johnson.
An operative of the SARS allegedly shot him on Sunday, while he was watching the EPL match between Liverpool and Totthenham.
The killing has pushed anti-SARS singer activist, Ruggedman into the trenches as he sent an ironic tweet to police publicity man, Yomi Shogunle, who immeditiately blocked him on the platform.
Reacting to the killing, celebrated rapper, Falz, wondered if there was any difference between SARS operatives and robbers or assassins.
Also, not long after actress Adesuwa condemned the act, her husband, Banky W also slammed the policemen in an extensive post on Instagram.
He noted, “ This post is for our leaders: @muhammadubuhari@profosinbajo @akinwunmiambode,@jidesanwoolu, @aleeygiwa… Dear Sirs, Kolade Johnson, an innocent, young citizen of Nigeria is dead. He was the only son of a widow, a husband and father. His only crime was being in the right place at the wrong time… watching a football match when SARS operatives who allegedly came to arrest someone, started shooting sporadically. Kolade is not the first innocent victim of reckless behaviour by SARS operatives, and he will almost certainly not be the last. It is sickening, frustrating, and unfair.
We are tired of hearing about victims of police brutality, but never hearing about the criminal, reckless police officers being brought to justice. We are tired of screaming and tweeting #ENDSARS while our innocent young people are being extorted, bullied, maimed and killed by the very same officers who are meant to protect them. And we are tired of our leaders remaining silent, incident after incident.
We’re going to track down Kolade’s family, pray with them and raise money to assist them through this terrible tragedy. We hope that our leaders will use this opportunity to ACTUALLY show that they care about our lives and wellbeing, by tracking down the reckless officers responsible for this murder and bringing them to justice for their vicious crime.
We will not let this go. Kolade was innocent and did not deserve to die. Kolade could have been anyone of us. Please show us that you care about us. Please.
#JusticeForKolade.”
Banky then asked for the contact details of Johnson’s window, saying she deserved whatever intervention anyone could make.
