The year 2020 Big Brother Naija winner, Laycon, has once again lent his voice to the raging #EndSARS protest going on in Nigeria.

The newly appointed ambassador for Ogun youths is not keeping quiet on the cry against police brutality by Nigerians.

In a tweet posted on Saturday, October 10, Laycon tells the government that if they deliberately stunt the development of the Nigerian youths so that they can have a ready army of misdirected youths then they will kill the country.

The BBNaija winner later noted that the youths of this land will not allow the politicians. The state he said exists for the youths and nobody else.

In another news, Legit.ng reported that BBNaija star Laycon was named as the youth ambassador of Ogun and a member of the state executive council.

The governor of the state, Dapo Abiodun, shared the great news on his official Instagram page, to the excitement of the reality TV star's fans and followers. He also shared a video with the BBNaija star in the State House receiving his appointment documents. Describing him as the proud son of the state, the governor noted that work has started.

The reality star was spotted with the former governor of Ogun state Gbenga Daniel, the Alake of Egbaland Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo III, and the Ogun state commissioner of police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun during his homecoming to the state.

Some Nigerians, among them gospel singer, Wale Adenuga, kicked against Ogun governor making Laycon the youth ambassador in the state, giving him a house and five million naira. They said it is a misplaced priorities. But on-air-personality, Daddy Freeze, thinks otherwise.

Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS stylised as SARS) is a special unit of the Nigerian Police force that is designed to tackle criminals in the country. But recently it seems like that has been the opposite.

The Nigerian authorities have so far failed to tackle the impunity enjoyed by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), whose brutality and corruption is becoming increasingly brazen, despite repeated pledges to reform the police squad and investigate violations committed by its officers.

Last weekend, the Nigerian police announced yet another ban on routine patrols by SARS and other tactical squads of the Nigerian police, the fourth such ban in four years, amid growing anger over harassment and abuse by officers. SARS actions reached its boiling point last week when it was alledged that they shot a young man to death in Ughelli, Delta state.

Since then Nigerians have taken to their Social Media handles particularly their Facebook and Twitter handles to voice out their Opinion concerning the matter. That is what brought about the hashtag #EndSARS.

It was seconded by many prominent Nigerians and the most notable ones are Musicians Wizkid and Don Jazzy. This has made many Nigerians to voice out their past encounters and ordeals with FSARS in the past.

A Facebook user by name of UZOR ISAAC has this evening taken to Social media to share an ordeal that he had with FSARS 8 years ago. I screenshotted the post and you can view it below:

In summary, he said that he was once confronted by SARS on the way and they questioned him about the Blackberry Bold 4 phone that he was holding, he told them that he is working and that he earns 32k every two weeks. After much interoggation, he told them that he is living near an army barracks and they let him go. He said that the event too place 8 years ago.
