Afro-pop star, David Adeleke popularly called Davido has bemoaned the painful hijack of the peaceful #EndSARS protests by hoodlums who unleashed chaos in some states in the country.

The musician’s statement comes as a reaction to the recent chaos, which led to lootings and vandalism in Lagos and other states in the country.

Speaking on his official Twitter handle on Sunday, Davido opined that “We need a country where there is law and order for us to make any real change.”

He also pleaded with the hoodlums to “Please stop” with their destructive acts that have seen business and police stations looted and burnt.

“It is painful that what started as a peaceful protest has been hijacked and turned into complete Anarchy, in total disrespect to those that lost their lives during the Peaceful protest. This is def not the way to honour those that lost their lives while protesting peacefully.

“What is there to gain from burning and looting private businesses that provide employment to our own people?? Or burgling or burning houses belong to innocent citizens?! Or burning Buses that our own people depend on for transport to go to work and go about their lives???

“Why burn police stations, when one of our demands was better police welfare and training??? Please stop stop stop stop! It all makes no sense whatsoever !! If you know anybody partaking in this, tell them to stop!!”
