Rapper and actor, Falz, has reacted to escalating killings in Central Nigeria.
The 27-year-old who recently highlighted the problems in the country in his song, ‘This is Nigeria’, spoke in reaction to the fresh attack in Plateau.
The Plateau Police Command on Sunday confirmed the killing of 86 persons in the attacks on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish district in Barkin Ladi Local Government.
It was reported that 50 houses, 15 motorcycles and two vehicles were also burnt down, with the gunmen also attacking Daffo and Kuba communities in Bokkos Local Government of the state.
Falz took to his Instagram live feed on Sunday to lament the frequent killings and attack in the country.
“Attacks every day, killings every day,” he wrote.
The Muslim Right Concern (MURIC) earlier gave Falz a seven-day ultimatum to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video which they labelled as offensive and provocative
However, in an interview with Punch, Falz said the allegations are baseless and absurd.
“There is absolutely no basis for a legal action, I mean, people dance in hijabs all the time in movies and parties.
“In fact, designers have made sportswear that has hijabs, so why are they not saying that is disrespect to the religion? I think it is a baseless allegation,” he said.
