Nigerian rapper, Phyno, has accused the Enugu State Government of threatening his life and those of other #EndSARS protesters the the Eastern state.

In a tweet he shared on Saturday, October 17th, 2020, he stated that the Enugu State Government should be held responsible accountable, if anything happens to him and other #EnSARS protesters. Phyno accused Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of poluting the protest with thugs who tried to fight them.

He tweeted:

Enugu! 🗣Today our lives were threatened and we are making it clear that if ANYTHING happens to any single one of us or any protestors, let it be known that it was done by the ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT! @phynofino

The governor came out but refused to speak up and address the protestors, instead he addressed the thugs. The thugs tried to fight us but we maintained peace because we recognized their plan.

We made sure the youth remained calm yet the governor refused to answer our questions! Instead he walked out on us, unapologetically, with the thugs following him. We made it clear that we knew the people he was pretending to address were paid thugs.

As we have been saying: The movement won’t stop! We come in peace as always!
