Nigerian rapper Phyno, has accused the Enugu state government of threatening his life and that of other #EndSARS protesters today, October 17.
In a statement shared on Twitter, Phyno stated that the Enugu state government should be held responsible should anything happen to Kcee, Flavour and any of other protesters in Enugu.
Phyno accused Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of sending thugs who tried to fight the protesters. However, Phyno says they came in peace and that the movement wouldn’t stop.
He wrote;
“Enugu! Today our lives were threatened and we are making it clear that if ANYTHING happens to any single one of us or any protestors, let it be known that it was done by the ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT!
Today, our peaceful protest in Enugu from Ogbete Market to the Enugu State Government House was going well until we reached the government house. Along the way we noticed a group of thugs joined the protests
The governor came out but refused to speak up and address the protestors, instead he addressed the thugs. The thugs tried to fight us but we maintained peace because we recognized their plan.
We made sure the youth remained calm yet the governor refused to answer our questions! Instead he walked out on us, unapologetically, with the thugs following him. We made it clear that we knew the people he was pretending to address were paid thugs.
As we have been saying: The movement won’t stop! We come in peace as always”
