Nigerian-American music producer, Duncan Daniels has condemned the destruction and looting that marred the peaceful #EndSARS protests in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.
Hoodlums and thugs hijacked the peaceful protests, causing mayhem and destroying public and private properties across the country, including the burning of police stations.
Duncan who is based in the US but of Nigerian descent expressed shock and disappointment that the peaceful protests in several states especially Lagos, turned into a destruction and looting spree after hoodlums and thugs hijacked it under the nose of the government.
Fondly called Dunkishrock, Duncan is the founder and CEO of Dunkishrock Productions. The artiste who participated in the #EndSars protests held in New York, NY, USA, called on “the government to get to the root of it by investigating the incidents and being decisive with the defaulters.
He said, “Investigations should be carried out to trace and track down the perpetrators of these dastardly acts. “It is disheartening that in Nigeria a lot of the masses go hungry daily and undergraduates find it hard to get jobs” he said. “Things don’t work the way it should because poverty levels are high in the country, it is totally unacceptable that citizens still have to lose not just lives but properties as well.”
He strongly condemned the people who went to the Oba of Lagos’ palace to destroy, loot and take away his staff of authority, he urged our traditional leaders to hold politicians and government accountable for their electoral promises made during campaigns.
He mandated the “youth to take more active roles in politics and governance by getting registered for their permanent votes card so they can vote in 2023. Casting your vote is the only way to ensure true democracy and that the right people are elected.”
