Activist and anti-police brutality campaigner, Segun Awosanya popularly known Segalink has pulled out of the #EndSARS protest.
The social activist, who mainstreamed the campaign against police brutality in 2017 and has been at the forefront of the protest, said it has been hijacked for other purposes.
He tweeted: “All efforts to talk sense into the arrowheads, who are mostly abroad and the few in their high estates have proven abortive. I believe everyone is matured enough to face the consequences of their actions.”
He added in an interview: “Staging coordinated attacks on prominent reform advocates and then using a credible advocacy’s campaign to raise funds through an unregistered NGO, threatening the integrity of our nation and gunning for youth insurrection in the name of #EndSARS. Is this even sane?”
His withdrawal was seen as a betrayal for some of the #EndSARS protesters and they immediately began to insult him, forcing him to clear the air.
“We won’t stop being there for ourselves Distinguished. The #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG Advocacy lives on. The aberration playing out before our eyes is what was disowned,” he said.
