#EndSARS: Adekunle Gold, Simi & Reekado Banks Join The Campaign

Nigerian singers, Adekunle Gold, Simi & Reekado Banks have joined the #EndSARS campaign on social media.

The singers shared their nasty experiences with the Special Anti Robbery Squad operatives.

According to Simi, the operatives pointed guns to her and her friends for laughing.

People are not supposed to be afraid of the people that are supposed to be looking after us. A couple weeks ago, at almost midnight, my friends and I had a gun pointed at us for laughing. For laughing.
Their boss had to talk him down! Pointing a gun at 3 ladies because of your insecurities is incredibly frightening! Policemen need to be mentally evaluated and checked before being handed guns. And they need to be accountable!! Otherwise, they can get away with anything.she said

Adekunle Gold also narrated that SARS operatives arrested him without a cause and extorted some amount of money from him.

I have experienced the brutality from some power drunk #SARS police officials as well. Hoping the govt can act swiftly on this one.
I’ll never understand why a police officer will forcefully arrest you and take you to the nearest atm to withdraw your money for them. Robbery!
They’ll go through your phone and be looking for the international calls you made, because you have to be a fraudster to call your loved ones abroad. This Rubbish needs to stop.

Why government job? Here are 5 businesses to startup in Nigeria.

While a majority of the Nigerian population are forcing their way into the public sector to meet ends, a lot of opportunities are dieing down, and remain untapped in the country.
