The #EndSARS protest slated for Thursday, October 8, 2020, is currently being held from Lekki toll gate opposite Oriental Hotel to Onikan and Appeal Court through the Nigerian Law School, Lagos.

Both Falz and Runtown, who vowed they won’t back down on the #EndSARS protest, counselled the protesters not to be violent as they engaged security operatives who attempted to disrupt the protest.

In an Instagram live chat on Thursday morning, Falz, son of human rights activist, Femi Falana, said on his way to the protest venue: “No backing down. We move. The police are already there, waiting for us but we are not here to cause trouble. It is a peaceful protest. Coming through.”
