Afro-pop music star, Dice Ailes has led a group of #EndSARS protest in Toronto, Canada, saying he alongside the protesters aren’t afraid of dying.
In a series of post on his social media pages, in which he disclosed that he led the demonstration against the lingering police brutality in Nigeria, Dice Ailes expressed satisfaction that Nigerian youths are not timid in the face of oppression.
While charging the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to take responsibility, the music star explained that police brutality is a product of bad governance, and until the incumbent administration take responsibility for extra-judicial killings, wanton arrests and dispossession of properties through physical assault and other intimidation tactics often perpetrated by men of the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), “the fight to end the lingering societal menace continue.”
Dice Ailes said Nigerians have suffered human rights abuse from the police force in the past, adding that the protest will remain a continuum until the incumbent administration fully address the issue of poverty, insecurity, police brutality, amongst other issues Nigerians have since been dealing with.

With this demonstration, Dice Ailes has joined singer Wizkid, amongst other music stars around the world, who have called for the end of extra-judicial killings, wanton arrests, and dispossession of properties through physical assault and other intimidation tactics, often perpetrated by notorious operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a defunct unit of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Although, President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has disbanded SARS; the protest is still ongoing, as many people are still suffering from police brutality despite the action.
