Nigerian music star, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has voiced out his displeasure over the death of two protesters earlier on Saturday in Osun State.
Two people have allegedly killed after some hoodlums who infiltrated #EndSARS protesters attacked the state governor’s convoy.
Oyetola had joined protesters on Saturday, walking with them from Alekuwodo area to Olaiya junction in Osogbo, promising the protesters that their demands would be looked into and that he supported their peaceful protest.
Reacting to the incident, Davido called out Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, saying someone from governor’s shot one of the protesters.

“Oyetola you have failed the people of osun under your watch thugs attacked peaceful protesters !!!
“There is no amount of intimidation that can subdue the ideal whose time is ripe,” Davido tweeted.
