A throwback video of controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola also known as Portable, demonstrating during the #EndSARS protest two years ago has surfaced online.
Portable had taken to the streets with thousands of Nigerians to protest against police harassment and brutality.
The old clip which was shared via Instastory on October 20, 2022, the day of the EndSARS and Lekki shooting memorial, sparked reactions from Nigerians who found it interesting because at the time he was still an up-and-coming artiste.
Portable talked about how authorities need to stop stereotyping the youths as he stated that he is not into internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo).
The musician held a placard which read; ‘End SARS’, ‘End Police Brutality’, ‘Soro Were’, ‘Soro Soke.’
Watch the video below:
Recall that the security operatives stationed at Lekki tollgate have fired teargas at youths having a walk-through at the Lekki Toll Gate in commemoration of #Endsars protest that happened on October 20, 2020.
Remember that the drive/walk-through procession was announced by entertainer, Folarin Falana aka Falz the Bahd guy, on his Instagram page on Wednesday.
According to a flier shared by Falz, the procession will mirror the first anniversary, where citizens drove, and walked through the tollgate to remember the victims. Part of the banner read, “#EndSARS Memorial 2.0 procession.
In memory of those who were killed on October 20, 2022, and those we have lost to police brutality, we will walk and drive through the toll gate, blast horns, sing and chat in unison through the toll gate, and wave our flags.”
However, on Thursday, security operatives took over the Lekki tollgate and were seen firing teargas at protesters this morning.
