Some Nigerian youths were saved from the hands of policemen who were trying to extort them
They were accosted by the law enforcement officers around 1.30am Fortunately for them, Davido drove in and saved the day
In the early hours of Sunday, October 11, 2020, singer, David Adeleke who is popularly known as Davido, has helped save some Nigerian youths as he rescued them from the hands of policemen who were extorting them. It was gathered that the police officers unlawfully profiled the youths and as it is reported to be their custom, jumped in the younger ones' car then they started manhandling them.
The law enforcement officers were said to be asking for a ridiculous amount of money from them and as luck will have it, Davido who was nearby came to their rescue and intervened.
On his intervention, the policemen left the guys and Davido ordered them to follow his convoy as they left the scene.
One of the arrested youths with the handle @mbaise1stborn shared a video from the scene on his Twitter page.
He captioned it: "@davido thanks for saving us tonight from the hungry bastards @PoliceNG you told us you are looking into this issue so what do you have to say about this, if @davidowasnt here to rescue us what would have happened ?
#EndSARS Let’s like and retweet @mrmacaronii @segalink"
He captioned another tweet: "OBO saved us tonight from the hands of sars officers on the island @davido #EndSARS."
Earlier, it was reported that following the disappointing cancellation of Naira Marley's EndSARS protest, aggrieved Nigerian youths who had been eager to hit the streets came out in their numbers to support Falz and Runtown on Thursday, October 8.
The youths were seen with different placards with wordings about the injustice being meted out on citizens by those who should be protecting them. Interestingly, some other celebrities who have been agitating for the end of the special police unit on social media also took time out to join the protest on the streets of Lagos.
