The well-known comedian and activist, Adebowale Adedayo, who is popularly recognized as Mr. Macaroni, has demanded the immediate release of #EndSARS demonstrators who remain detained even after three years have passed since the large-scale protests.

In Lagos on Friday, Mr. Macaroni led a peace walk to mark the third anniversary of the tragic Lekki shooting incident, which marked the conclusion of the #EndSARS protests.

During the event, he conveyed, “The purpose of the peace walk is to pay tribute to all those who lost their lives on October 20, 2020. We have done that. We would like to return, but the police are not permitting us to do so.”

“We do not wish to provide them with any reason or pretext to use force against us. We have been engaged in this for three years now, and we are aware of their capacity for action.”

“I would like to seize this opportunity to make an appeal for the unconditional release of all those [protesters] who are still in custody. There are still individuals who participated in the protests in 2020 and have been in detention since then. Lawyers have been consistently advocating for their cases, with different appeals being made every day, yet they remain incarcerated.”

“Through this walk, we are once again urging all relevant authorities to grant the unconditional release of all protesters who are still held in detention.”

Renowned musician David Adeleke, also known as Davido, recently asserted during an appearance on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled,’ that his family plays a significant role in Nigeria’s energy sector by operating four power plants. According to him, these power plants make substantial contributions to Nigeria’s electricity supply.

In discussing his family’s business ventures and personal investments, Davido mentioned his brief foray into cryptocurrency due to its popularity in Nigeria. He also highlighted his family’s involvement in the energy sector, emphasizing their ownership of four lucrative power plants that distribute electricity across a considerable portion of Nigeria.

Additionally, Davido disclosed plans to venture into the restaurant business with his wife, who has a passion for culinary arts. However, he reiterated that his primary focus remains on his music career.

While Davido’s family boasts wealth and investments in the energy sector, some observers may dispute his claim that their power plants supply the majority of Nigeria’s energy needs. The Nigerian government owns most of the significant thermal and hydropower plants in the country.
