Popular singer, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun aka
Wizkid has revealed that he was once
brutalized by the police.
He opened up on his experience in an interview
with Capital Xtra’s ‘The Norte Show’.
This is coming following the nationwide
#EndSARs protest in Nigeria some weeks ago
with which the singer was actively involved.
He said,
“Police brutality is a serious situation back
home in Nigeria. It has been 60 years of
political injustice, nepotism, madness and
corruption at the highest level.
It is sad that my son is about to be 10 years
old and Nigeria is still going through all these
madness. If I didn’t speak up or use my voice,
then I would be a coward. I will continue to
speak about things that affect people in their
daily lives.
I had been a victim of police brutality before I
became popular and I know it still goes on.
That needs to end. We deserve good
governance in Nigeria.”
