A magistrate’s court in Abuja has ordered the police to investigate the senior pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi; former Super Eagles star Kanu Nwankwo; music star Davido and 47 other Nigerians for allegedly promoting the #EndSARS protests.
The order issued by Hon. Omolola Tolulope Akindele, Presiding Chief Magistrate II, Abuja, followed a request by human rights activist, Kenechukwu Okeke.
Okeke, in a criminal suit filed before the court, alleged that the defendants acted in a manner “with intent to assist in the promotion of an unlawful assembly under the guise or composition of #EndSARS.”
He alleged that the defendants used Twitter to instigate “some riotous and tumultuous persons” who destroy his property, adding that they must be brought to justice.
In granting the plantiff’s request, the court wrote a letter to the Police Command in the FCT to investigate the 50 people within two weeks and give a report for “proper adjudication”.
Others on the list of those to be investigated are Aisha Yesufu, Joe Abah, Kiki Mordi, Feyikemi Abudu and Damini Ogulu (Burna Boy).
Others include Folarin Falana (Falz), Debo Adebayo (Mr Macaroni), Maryam Apaokagi, Peter and Paul Okoye, Innocent Idibia, Bankole Wellington, Tiwa Savage, Michael Ajereh, Ayo Balogun (Wizkid), Ayo Sogunro and Deji Adeyanju.
