Popular Nollywood actress, Adesua Wellington has condemned the alleged shooting and killing of one Kolade Johnson by the Lagos Police Command of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), saying she is sick and tired of the abuse of powers by those who ought to be protecting the people.
Adesua who rather than do ‘over Sabi’ just like other Nigerian celebrities who were busy mourning American rapper, Nipsey Hussle, who they barely know or listened to, she dedicated her page to Kolade Johnson. The Wedding Party actress who joined millions of Nigerians to express their anger towards the government and Police said:
“I am so sick of a government that turns deaf ears to the cries of its people,” she said.
According to reports, a stray bullet from policemen attached to the Anti-Cultism unit on Sunday night was allegedly killed Kolade Johnson at Olu Aboderin Street in Onipetesi, Lagos.
It was gathered that the victim Kolade Johnson was seeing the English Premiership League game between Liverpool and Tottenham when the bullet hit him. He died before getting to the General Hospital Ikeja.
An eyewitness said the policemen had stormed the area to arrest a young man having dreadlocks on suspicion he was a cultist.
After picking up their suspect, they started shooting sporadically but one of the bullets allegedly hit Kolade Johnson and died later.
The statement by Adesua which she dropped on Instagram reads:
“I am SO SICK of the abuse of power by SARS.
I am SO SICK of a government that turns deaf ears to the cries of it’s people.
HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE before something is done about this nonsense?
Every other day, we hear stories of how citizens are beaten, killed, robbed, kidnapped by SARS.
If a tree is producing rotten fruit, CUT IT DOWN.
This is Kolade. His only crime was watching football. That was all he was doing when a stray bullet hit him yesterday. A bullet fired by a SARS official. They fled the scene btw. So who do we hold responsible?
He has a son who now has to grow up without a father, all because some idiot was trigger happy.”
