Nigerian celebrities are trooping in on Twitter to lend their voices to the #EndSARS campaign.
They joined thousands of Nigerians online who are calling for the abolition of the police unit called SARS.
The unit has been accused of several human rights violations especially of young Nigerians who are seen carrying laptop computers.
The latest social media trend is as a result of a video that surfaced online on Saturday showing an innocent Nigerian shot dead by a police officer in Delta State.
See tweets below from Donjazzy, Olamide, Falz, Teni, FireBoy, Tacha, Mercy Eke, Erica, Skales, Paul Okoye (Psquare), Uche Jombo, Toke makinwa, Tiwa Savage, Daddy Freeze and more celebrities speaking out….
I'm a father more than an entertainer, so I feel the anger of parents and youths calling on the Govt and @PoliceNG to #EndSarsNow Those who are meant to protect us shouldn't put our lives and property at risk. @MBuhari @NGRSenate @femigbaja do something now!

We're tired of “one day it go better”, we're tired of all your promises for a better Nigeria, our tired is tired. You can’t keep quiet while our young ones suffer in the hands of those who are meant to protect them, @mbuhari @jidesanwoolu #EndSarsBrutality #EndSars

I can drive a flashy car, wear funky clothes and any hairstyle I want!
It’s my right and it’s 💯 legal.
Harassment on the other hand is NOT legal, neither are police brutality and extortion.
This is the witchery that thrives when a system fails
