Nigerian rapper and actor, Falz, has faulted the arrest of popular comedian, Debo Adebayo, also known as Mr. Macaroni, and other #OccupyLekkiTollgate protesters in Lagos State on Saturday.

Some of the arrested protesters were later taken to an unknown destination.

Reacting, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, described the arrest as shameful” on his Twitter handle.

“Macaroni has been picked up, the Nigerian government basically saying they do not want peace ohI am tired of just coping. I am tired of just managing. This is a fu*king shithole we are living in and we simply cannot continue like this.

“They are using this threat of force and violence because they expect that we would naturally fear for our lives, but the life we dey live no kuku get meaning before.”

The other group, #DefendLagos withdrew from the protest, noting that it was in accordance with the government’s directives that no protest should hold.

The #EndSARS Season 2 and #OccupyLekkiTollgate said their action was informed by the decision of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry allowing the Lekki Concession Company to reopen the Lekki tollgate.
