Award-winning Nigerian rapper and singer Folarin Falna, professionally known as Falz, has written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The vocal entertainer has been a strong voice in the ongoing #EndSARS protests and he doesn’t seem to be backing down any time soon.
In the open letter, Falz requested a reconstitution of the governing council of the National Human Rights Commission.
According to him, reconstituting the governing council will be a step in the right direction in the quest for a genuine Police reform in Nigeria.
The letter reads in part:
“REQUEST FOR RECONSTITUTION OF THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION FOR THE DISCHARGE OF ITS FUNCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO CASES OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN NIGERIA,”
“It has been brought to my knowledge via a statement by your Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, that the Federal Government has accepted the 5-point request of the ENDSARS protests presented by well-meaning Nigerian youths.
“Failure to do this would force young Nigerians to believe that the continuous refusal to re-constitute the Governing Council of the National Human Rights Commission is a deliberate attempt to mislead us into thinking genuine efforts are being made at reforming the Nigeria Police, when in truth the opposite is the case.”
