There have been recent reports of harassments and killings of young Nigerians by security forces and officers over the issue of cybercrime investigations and this ugly trend is taking a negative toll on citizens of the country especially as it is done with so much impunity by the these so called police officials under the guise of the law.
Many have begun to frown at the frequent occurrence of this recent ugly trend as it has called for concern even among big celebrities and political personalities.
Wizkid, a multiple-award winning singer, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for wishing Donald Trump a “quick recovery from COVID-19” amid the security tension in Nigeria.
On Thursday, the US president and Melania, his wife, tested positive for the killer disease, prompting “get well soon” messages from leaders across the world.
Buhari had joined the bandwagon on Friday after he wished Trump and his wife “quick and full recovery from COVID-19.”
Amid the outrage that ensued due to the alleged killings and brutality of citizens by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Wizkid took to his Twitter page to pour out his annoyance on the president.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer slammed Buhari for paying attention to happenings in the United States while Nigerians lament various encounters of brutality, abuse and harassment by SARS operatives.
“Donald trump is not your business! Old man! Police/Sarz still killing Nigerian youth on a daily! Do something! Nothing concern u for America! Face your country!!,” Wizkid wrote.
In another posts, the 30-year-old ‘Fever’ crooner demanded the scrapping of SARS while also calling on Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor, to take action against the alleged extrajudicial killings and harassment of youths by the police unit.
The fact that a prominent celebrity such as WizKids has lent his voice to speak out on behalf of the young Nigerians going through this ordeal is something that would draw the attention of the federation’s authority to see the urgency involved in this crazy killings and senseless abuse of authority by members of police officials when it comes to genuine investigations of citizens over cybercrime
