'Buhari Doesn’t Want Peace", Falz Reacts To Mr Macaroni’s Arrest

Nigerian rapper and actor, Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana, has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari over the arrest of popular comedian, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr. Macaroni, and other protesters at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State.

Recall that operatives of the Nigeria Police Force had arrested no fewer than 19 protesters, including Mr Macaroni, Juwon SanyaOlu, and one Comrade Dimeji at the Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday.

But in a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Saturday, Falz described the arrest as shameful behaviour and oppression of Nigerians.

According to him, the Nigerian government had shown they don’t want peace by using threat on citizens.

He wrote: “What is this shameful behaviour? Are these people insane? Citizens are peacefully protesting and you are arresting.

“How is this supposed to solve the problems that they have already caused?

“Macaroni has been picked up, the Nigerian government basically saying they do not want peace ohI am tired of just coping. I am tired of just managing. This is a fu*king shithole we are living in and we simply cannot continue like this.

“They are using this threat of force and violence because they expect that we would naturally fear for our lives, but the life we dey live no kuku get meaning before.”
