Rapper Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz the bahd guy, who is one of the leaders of the #EndSARS memorial procession on Thursday to mark the second anniversary of the deadly protest has declared that the #EndSARS protest has never been a political movement.

Falz, who was part of the #EndSARS protest of the last two years said the movement had no affiliation whatsoever with any political party.

He explained that demonstrators only came out because they had seen his announcement to come out in honour of fallen heroes at the Lekki tollgate shooting, adding that there was no form of campaign material because the movement is strictly pro-social justice.

AN24.net understands that the lawyer-turned-singer said “we are here because justice has not been done. Those people that committed those gruesome crimes on October 2020 have not been punished. Nobody has been brought to book. Why? Because they continue to deny, let me say attempt to deny that these things happened.
