The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), will soon commence the investigation of Wizkid, Davido, among 48 others, over their roles in #EndSARS, the nationwide protest against police brutality.
This development came as a Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja, ordered the Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to launch an investigation into 50 notable persons who promoted the #EndSARS movement.
The order was given by a Magistrate, Omolola Akindele, sequel to a criminal complaint filed by an activist, Kenechukwu Okeke.
Aside from Wizkid and Davido, other celebrities to be investigated are –Burna Boy, Falz, Mr Macaroni, Yemi Alade, Taoma, Banky W, Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy, 2Baba, amongst others.
In his complaint, Okeke alleged that during the riot, his properties were destroyed and the defendants who promoted the #EndSARS protests must be brought to justice.
Following the filed complaint, the magistrate gave the police two weeks to investigate the matter and send a report for proper adjudication.
A letter written by the court registrar which was addressed to the commissioner of police, read in part: “I am directed by the Presiding Chief Magistrate II, his worship, Hon. Omolola Tolulope Akindele, sitting at Chief Magistrate Court 2, Wuse Zone 6, FCT Abuja, to write to your office to investigate the above-mentioned case and report back within two weeks for proper adjudication of the case.”
