Protesters in Benin prevent singer Harrysong from passing roadblock, asks him to sing for them

Harrison “Harrysong” Okiri, a popular singer, was recently stopped from driving through a barricade set up by #EndBadGovernance protesters in Edo State.

A video posted on social media shows Harrysong getting out of his car to plead with protesters who were blocking a major road in Benin City, Edo state, but they refused to allow him pass.

The protesters demanded that the ‘Reggae Blues’ singer either join the protest or turn back, despite his attempts to persuade them to let him drive through.

While he was talking to the youths, one could be heard requesting Harrysong to come and perform his songs for them because he was already present.
