Musician and actor, Folarin Falana, aka Falz, has explained the reason he and other protesters at the Lekki Tollgate displayed some coffins.
According to him, the coffins are for the protesters allegedly killed at the toll gate on October 20, 2020, when the ENDSARS protest held against police brutality.
In a cha on with Channels TV, he said said they were at the toll gate as a result of those who he alleged were killed at the place two years ago during the #EndSARS protest, adding that the alleged killing was being denied by the government. “Government dey try deny say e happen, but we will never let that happen,” Falz said in pidgin English.
“We no com cause trouble for here o, na our people wey dem kill October 20, 2020, na dem we come here con remember; that is why we are here.
“We no wan make anybody make this movement say na political anything. These coffins we dey here so, make we carry dem go tollgate, these coffins are very symbolic. Na here wey dem kill our people, so we go throw this coffin for them, na them get am,” he added in pidgin English as he led the protesters.
