Reacting in a series of tweets, Falz condemned the police and government for using force on peaceful protesters.
His tweet thread reads;
”Macaroni has been picked up’
”The Nigerian government basically saying they do not want peace oh
”I am tired of just coping. I am tired of just managing. This is a fucking shithole we are living in and we simply cannot continue like this
”They are using this threat of force & violence because they expect that we would naturally fear for our lives, but the life we dey live no kuku get meaning before”
