FEM crooner, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido has defended #EndSARS protesters amidst the alleged involvement of the protesters in the jack break that took place in Edo State yesterday.

The singer said the violent acts were perpetrated by criminals who were masquerading as #EndSARS protesters.

He added that the ongoing demonstrations cannot be sabotaged by any group, noting that the criminals that broke into two correctional centres must be condemned.

Recall that thugs yesterday had invaded the prisons in Benin city, setting several inmates free.

Davido who reacted through tweets on his official Twitter handle, said, “After seeing all that’s gone on today I just want to say that from the beginning we have preached that the protest must remain peaceful and Law Abiding and as far as I know we have kept to that! And we will continue to keep to that so the narrative can NOT be switched up on us!

“The people they claim broke into prisons to free convicted criminals, burn police stations to steal weapons, damage police, government, and private vehicles are Criminals and everybody must condemn these acts. They are not part of our movement!

“#EndSars is a peaceful and law abiding protest that is going somewhere great! And no mischief can scatter it!”
