Runtown had called the protest on Sunday as many Nigerians lashed the Federal Government and police authorities for failing to rein in operatives of FSARS who have been accused of harassing, extorting, maiming, and killing Nigerian youths.
The artiste accused the government of insincerity in ending the atrocities.
He wrote, “This has gone long enough and now we MUST take action! I’ll be leading a protest to #ENDSARS on Thursday, October 8th 2020.
