#EndSARS; Falz Joe Abah, others pull out of discussion on Police brutality
As the #ENDSARS protest against Police brutality, extortion, harassment and extrajudicial killing of Nigerians continues, hip-hop artist, Folarin Falana, populaly known as Falz and public policy expert Dr Joe Abah on Friday backed out of a town hall meeting set up by the federal government.
CRIMECHANNELS gathered that the town hall meeting, organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, was to discuss and recommend possible solutions to the country’s policy system and a reform of the Nigeria Police Force.
However, Folarin Falana, took to the micro blogging app, Twitter, where he vehemently stated that he won’t be attending the town hall meeting.
His tweet reads, “I will not be on this panel, I was given false information. Plus there is no need for all this, please!! The agenda is clear #5for5 #SARSMUSTEND.”
Few minutes later, Abah announced his withdrawal from the visual event after Falz said he would no longer participate.
“Following Falz’s withdrawal from this event and the absence of more youth voices, I will regrettably no longer be moderating this event,” Abah tweeted on Friday.
It is unknown if the meeting will go as scheduled by the government as they aim to persuade thousands of protesters in different parts of Nigeria to leave the streets.
