Nigerian celebrities including Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz; and pop star, Runtown have joined voices calling for an end to police brutality and extra-judicial killings.
Big Brother Naija Reality Television Stars, Elozonam Ogbolu, and Prince Enwerem are also a part of the protest.
The protest started on Wednesday with youths gathered at Ikeja Underbridge displaying placards and sharing videos and photos using the hashtag #LagosProtests. They vowed to continue the protest for the next three days.
On Thursday, the second day of the protest, the youths besieged Police Headquarters in Ikeja and marched to Lekki Toll Gate.

Also in Abuja, the protesters demanding the reformation of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad besieged the force headquarters.
The campaigners sat on the Shehu Shagari Way, shouting ‘EndSARS,’ while paralyzing vehicular traffic. They also wielded placards with the same inscription.
