By Adekunle Badmus

Singer, Azeez Adeshina Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley has cancelled the #EndSars protest scheduled to hold today Tuesday, October 6.

Following a statement made by the Inspector General of Police, informing Nigerian youths that their complaints on the issues on ground are being looked into, the singer took to twitter to announce the new development.

“We won’t be protesting anymore because there’s a lot of changes being made right now.
As a Marlian we will give them a week to see the changes and if there’s no changes we will start a mass protest” he tweeted.

The IGP’s statement reads;

“The Force is irrevocably committed to changing these narratives and undertaking far-reaching reforms to reposition SARS and other Tactical Squads for better service delivery.

The Orders and restrictions on the operations of SARS and others already issued by the IGP are just the initial steps out of the many reforms planned for the Tactical Squads.

The Leadership of the NPF will work with the Ministry of Youth and other stakeholders, including Youth leaders, youth entrepreneurs, CSOs and others in formulating and implementing consensual reforms.
