Nigerian rapper, actor, and activist Falz has voiced his frustration after reportedly encountering counter-protesters during a demonstration against insecurity and mass abductions in Nigeria.
The protest, held in Lagos, was aimed at drawing attention to the country’s worsening security situation and the continued captivity of kidnapped victims, including schoolchildren and teachers.
However, Falz said he was stunned to see individuals opposing a movement focused on advocating for the safety of Nigerians.
Speaking after the demonstration, the rapper questioned why anyone would resist calls for urgent action on an issue that affects citizens across political, ethnic, and religious lines.
He stressed that insecurity should not be viewed through a partisan lens but as a national emergency requiring collective concern.
Falz expressed particular concern over victims of recent abductions, noting that some kidnapped schoolchildren and residents remain unaccounted for months after being taken.
According to him:
“We stepped out yesterday to protest wors£ning levels of ins£curity and mass @bductions around the country. What was wild to see was that Tinubu and his supporters had rented a crowd of counter protesters the majority of which were women. These women have children. Incase you don’t know why we are out there protesting. The children that were taken from schools in Oyo state, they still have not been found.”
The rapper went on to reference reports of violent attacks in parts of the country, highlighting the human cost of the ongoing security crisis and the need for sustained public attention.
He continued:
“Let me put this in perspective for you. There is a community called Woro in Kwara state. February 3rd into 4th this year, this same year o, by 5:30 pm, !nsurgents att@cked this community, now from 5:30 pm overnight into the next morning, there was a sustained att@ck where they m@$$acr£d people. About 200 people were k!||£d. And do you know how many people were taken away? About a 176 people were taken away. These people are still in c@pt!vity.”
Urging Nigerians to recognise the seriousness of the situation, Falz warned that no community is immune to the threat posed by insecurity if decisive action is not taken.
He added:
“It could be your ch!ldren tomorrow. It could eventually be your ch!ldren, just incase you don’t know what you are doing. This is the £nd of us if we allow this to continue….”
The artist has long been one of Nigeria’s most vocal public figures on social and political issues, frequently using his platform to advocate for accountability, justice, and civic engagement. His latest comments have reignited conversations online about the country’s security challenges and the role citizens can play in demanding solutions.
