Singer cum politician, Banky W joined his wife Adesua and other Nigerians in demanding for justice over the killing of one Kolade Johnson by SARS officials in Lagos, yesterday, March 31st.
SARS operatives in Lagos allegedly killed a young boy while watching a football match in Lagos, after he was hit by a stray bullet.
According to reports, the sad incident happened Sunday afternoon at Olu Aboderin Street, Onipetesi, Lagos State. The victim was reportedly watching the just concluded Liverpool FC match.
Reacting to the development, Banky W tagged President Buhari, VP Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Ambode and demanded for justice.

This post is for our leaders:
@muhammadubuhari @profosinbajo @akinwunmiambode, @jidesanwoolu,
@aleeygiwa… Dear Sirs, Kolade Johnson, an innocent, young citizen of
Nigeria is dead. He was the only son of a widow, a husband and father.
His only crime was being in the right place at the wrong time… watching a
football match when SARS operatives who allegedly came to arrest
someone, started shooting sporadically. Kolade is not the first innocent
victim of reckless behaviour by SARS operatives, and he will almost
certainly not be the last. It is sickening, frustrating, and unfair.
We
are tired of hearing about victims of police brutality, but never
hearing about the criminal, reckless police officers being brought to
justice. We are tired of screaming and tweeting #ENDSARS while our
innocent young people are being extorted, bullied, maimed and killed by
the very same officers who are meant to protect them. And we are tired
of our leaders remaining silent, incident after incident.
We’re
going to track down Kolade’s family, pray with them and raise money to
assist them through this terrible tragedy. We hope that our leaders will
use this opportunity to ACTUALLY show that they care about our lives
and wellbeing, by tracking down the reckless officers responsible for
this murder and bringing them to justice for their vicious crime.
We
will not let this go. Kolade was innocent and did not deserve to die.
Kolade could have been anyone of us. Please show us that you care about
us. Please.
#JusticeForKolade
PS: Anyone who has the contact details Kolade’s wife and/or Mom, please DM @theofficialeme_ and myself. We must take care of ourselves with or without our Government.
On a very serious note,I’m 100% support of the motion raised by the popular musician Banky W over the killing of Johnson Kolade by SARS officers.Because their delibrate wicked act of destroying lives instead of protection is everywhere in the 36 states not only Lagos.So,if govt and SARS officials cannot amend the operative pattern of the police and other forces,let them be shut down for life.
