Adebowale Adedayo, the popular skit maker and activist, also known as Mr. Macaroni, has appealed for the release of the #EndSARS protesters who are still being held captive three years after the widespread protests.

On Friday, Mr. Macaroni gave a speech in Lagos while leading a peace march in tribute to the third anniversary of the shooting in Lekki, the unfortunate event that put a halt to the #EndSARS protests.

Macaroni stated that the peace walk is being held in memory of everyone who died on October 20, 2020. He said they had done the peace walk and they wanted to walk back but the police did not want them to.

“We don’t want to give them a reason or an excuse to fire at us. We’ve been on this for three years now and we know what they are capable of doing.

“I want to use this opportunity to call for the unconditional release of all those [protesters] that are still in prisons. There are still some protesters who have been in prison since 2020. Lawyers have been on the cases, different shouts every day but till now they are still there”, the skit maker said.

He noted that this walk is a means to renew their appeal to all parties involved for the unconditional release of all detained protestors.
