Nollywood stars Uche Jombo and Alesh Sanni have berated the victims of Lekki teargas at Mohbad’s candlelight procession.
On Thursday evening, a candle night was held for the late upcoming singer at Lekki Toll gate, which had in attendance several celebrities.
After the event, while many left for their various homes, others staged a protest for the deceased, which led the police to disperse the crowd with tear gas.
Berating them, Uche Jombo pointed made note of how the procession ended at 8 pm and the crowd was asked to return home, yet many remained adamant, staging protests at Tollgate.
Questioning why the sympathizers left for Toll Gate after the instruction, she urged Nigerians to do better.
“So candlelight vigil for Mohbad finished at 8 pm and some people went to toll gate why? I saw that tear gas video and thought it was at the vigil. It was after sometimes as a people we can overdo things”.
Joining her, Alesh also noted how the crowd was asked to go home since the protest was canceled.
He added that Nigerians love to do too much atimes.
He wrote:
“You guys missed the point of this whole thing!!!! This is Candle Night and not Protest!!
The initial walk that was supposed to replace the Protest was canceled just becos of something like this…
This is candle night and not protest!!!
I said it.. we do too much ,,, why abeg”.
