Popular actor, Mr Macaroni, has accused the police of complicity in the violence marring the hardship protests in some parts of the country.
In the course of the action that started on August 1, violence has been recorded with some deaths recorded. vandalisation and looting have also reared their ugly heads.
Like the Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, who has also criticised the police’s handling of the protest, Macaroni said there was proof that the protests are always peaceful and with good intentions until state-sponsored thugs are sent to disrupt the protests.
He added: “The police, in their complicity, will ignore the infiltrators and start to attack peaceful protesters.
“This is how it happens not only in Lagos but in other states in the country. At the end of the day, the government will then attempt to rewrite history as if it didn’t happen before our very eyes. This is exactly how it happened with EndSars and the records will forever be there to point at the real enemies of Nigeria who unleashed terror and mayhem in our society. Isn’t it crazy that the same people who protested peacefully are now trying to stop others from doing the same thing?”
