Flavour, Phyno, KCee fume as Ugwuanyi shuns #EndSARS protesters in Enugu
BY NICHOLAS ABE
Afro-pop singer, Flavour, real name Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli, has raised the alarm over threat to his life and those of his compatriots.
Flavour says if anything happens to him or any other member of the #ENDSARS protest group in Enugu, the state government should be held accountable.
The singer leads the #ENDSARS protest in the South East with fellow entertainers KCee, Phyno, Masterkraft and Zoro.
“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! @phynofino, @ZoroSwagbag, @iam_kcee, @masterkraft_,” he tweeted on his Twitter handle @2niteFlavour.
In a series of tweets, the Ada Ada singer claimed that Enugu State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, refused to speak with the protesters who conducted themselves peacefully.
“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,” he stated.
The singer reaffirmed that the #ENDSARS protest would remain peaceful, concluding, “As we have been saying: The movement won’t stop! We come in peace as always! #NewNigeria #NewEnugu #EndSARS #EndSWAT #EndPoliceBrutality.”
