EndSARS Anniversary: Mr Macaroni Set For Peaceful Walk

Popular Nigerian Comedian and activist, Mr Macaroni has announced a peaceful walk to commemorate the third anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.

The 30-year-old made this known in an Instagram post on Thursday, where he disclosed that the peaceful walk will honor victims of the October 20 protest at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos.

Recall,  in October 2020, a public outcry for an end to police brutality, extrajudicial killings, extortion and abuse of power, especially by the officers of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) kicked off.

The protest, which started off peacefully, led to the disbandment of SARS by the federal government of Nigeria.

We also walk for all those who have lost their lives as a result of police brutality in Nigeria!!! We walk in peace!!! We will never forget!”
