Seun Kuti, a popular Nigerian singer and son of Late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti has claimed that the Nigerian army and police force were created to kill black people and protect Western interest.
This is coming amidst widespread protest against the activities of SARS officers in the country.
Speaking during a Live session on his Instagram page, the singer shared his thoughts about the #EndSARS campaign which has regained prominence in the last few weeks.
Seun Kuti stated that some rich Nigerians and celebrities at the forefront of the campaign all have policemen they use to oppress fellow citizens. He further stressed that the Nigerian army and police were created to kill black people and protect Western interest and nothing has been done to change that.
