Instagram Comedian, Debo Adebayo popularly known as Mr Macaroni, and Folarin Falana, rapper known as Falz, led an #EndSARS vehicular procession at Lekki tollgate in Lagos.

The duo had earlier announced the procession on their Instagram handles on Tuesday.

“In memory of those who died that day and those we have lost to police brutality, we will: drive through the toll gate from 8-10 am; blast our horns in unison as we drive through and wave our flags.”

The celebrities were joined by some youths who rode in a convoy, waving flags at journalists and security operatives at the tollgate, around 9am on Wednesday.

The procession was in memory of the EndSARS protest which ended controversially on October 20, 2020, where some protesters were said to have been massacred, while the government said there was no killing, claiming soldiers deployed to the scene only fired live bullets.
