The Minister of Youths and Sports, Sunday Dare, has reacted to the tweet by singer, Naira Marley, on his plans to lead an #EndSASRbrutality protest on Tuesday (today).
Recall that we had earlier reported that the “Issa Goal” singer, on his Twitter tweeted about his plans to lead #EndSASRbrutality peaceful protest in Lagos.
Reacting to his tweet, the Minister appealed to him and other youths to shelve the protest as their grievances regarding the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad and police brutality are currently being addressed.
Dare tweeted: “I urge you and other youth not to embark upon any protest.
“Your grievances are being addressed at the highest level of government.
“As the Minister in charge of youth I know this is an issue that must be tackled. Government is doing just that.”
Meanwhile, Naira Marley was yet to respond to the Minister’s appeal as at press time.
