#EndSARS: All recommendations must be fully implemented - Falz

 

Popular Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana professionally known as Falz has react to Gov Babajide Sanwo Olu’s request for a “peace walk” to heal the land of Lagos State says it a Joke and disrespectful.
The governor in a statement on Tuesday, November 30, said he would lead the peace walk in order to herald the healing of the land in the face of the misinformation and misunderstanding following the recent leak of a report by the Judicial Panel of Enquiry on the #EndSARS debacle.
According to him, “Our state deserves true healing after the disturbances that trailed last year’s protests against police br*tality. It is only the sustenance of harmony that can guarantee the realisation of aspirations of all residents.The state is currently faced with the hard choice of restoring harmony or doing itself great h*rm. I appeal to Lagosians to reject those fueling anarchy and suspicion, clinging to the unsubstantiated belief that carries no weight of verifiable evidence and choosing emotion over hard facts.
“Our administration is ready to facilitate better communication between the youths and the state’s security machinery to resolve issues before they become intractable”
“To quicken recovery and engender a better understanding, I will lead ‘A Walk for Peace’ in December to herald the healing of the land. I have extended an open invitation to the youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students and the media, as well as other stakeholders to join me in this peace walk.”
Reacting via his verified Twitter handle, Falz wrote; “This suggestion of a “walk for peace” sounds like a joke and a very disrespectful one at that. People were murdered in cold blood and absolutely no iota of justice has been served more than a year after. How can there be peace without justice ? #EndSARS
In this same speech, you said “To be a smart city, we first must be a just one” Remember the young Nigerians that had their lives snatched away by weapons weilded by our own armed forces? You want to sweep that under the carpet ? Is that how to establish a just city? #ENDSARS
“Young Nigerians, till today, are still being constantly harassed and extorted by police officers!! You were awfully quiet about that. Or are you not aware ? #ENDSARS.”
