Reporters At Large had reported that hoodlums have broken the walls of the headquarters of the Nigeria Correctional Centre (Nigeria prisons in Benin), on Monday, setting inmates free
The hoodlums, after gaining entrance into the prison through the fence freed inmates in the prisons along Benin Sapele Road, near Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) office.
Reacting, the singer in a series of tweets wrote: “After seeing all that’s gone on today I just want to say that from the beginning we have preached that the protest must remain peaceful and Law Abiding and as far as I know we have kept to that! And we will continue to keep to that so the narrative can NOT be switched up on us!
“The people they claim broke into prisons to free convicted criminals, burn police stations to steal weapons, damage police, government, and private vehicles are Criminals and everybody must condemn these acts. They are not part of our movement!
“#EndSars is a peaceful and law-abiding protest that is going somewhere great! And no mischief can scatter it!”
