Popular singer, Burna Boy has released a new song tentatively titled, 20.10.2020. He dedicated it to #EndSARS victims.
With the new song, the Afro-fusion star again demonstrated his activism, as he dedicated it to peaceful protesters who lost their lives in the recent massacre at the Lekki Tollgate area of Lagos.
Recall that last Tuesday, October 20, 2020, some armed men in military uniforms were caught on camera shooting at the protesters.
While many people were said to have been dead in the massacre, which had been denied by the military, others sustained life-threatening injuries.
In the new song, Burna Boy who mounted #EndSARS billboards across the country during the protest, documented the dark event.

At the awards ceremony which held on Tuesday, October 27, 2020, the Nigerian music star after his performance of Monster You Made, his hit single in which he featured Cold Play‘s Chris Martin, said his performance was dedicated to Nigerians who lost their lives as a result of the brutality of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a defunct department of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
“This is for Tiamiyu Kazeem. This is for Kolade Johnson. This is for everyone that has lost their lives at the hands of SARS and all kinds of police brutality. End police brutality now and end profiling,” Burna Boy stated at the end of his performance.
