SAN FRANCISCO, October 19, (THEWILL) – Nigerian singers, Chinedu Okoli and Chibuzor Azubuike popularly known as Flavour and Phyno, respectively have accused the government of Enugu State of threatening their lives over their involvement in the ongoing #EndSARS protest.
THEWILL reports that the singers led the protest against the operatives of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) on Saturday in Enugu.
The protest turned sour after a heated exchange started between the singers and the governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as he addressed protesters at the government house.
The singers alleged that the governor employed thugs to scuttle the protest saying that he did not address the issues raised by the protesters before he walked away from them.
“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.
“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,” they said in a social media post.
