Dolapo Badmus wants Ruggedman to make his stance known on the #ENDSARS campaign.
The PRO of the Lagos State Police FOrce, Dolapo Badmus, has reached out to singer, Ruggedman, to advice him to make his stance on the #ENDSARS campaign, known.
According to the PRO, the singer is confusing people with is fluctuation stance between #ENDSARS and #ReformSARS. According to her, he cannot campaign for the end of SARS and its reformation at the same time.
She however, noted that those that are really fighting for the course are doing so outside social media. He cannot eat his cake and have it, she said.
Her words below;
I came across this and I wasn’t surprised! Firstly I didn’t expect @ruggedybaba to tag me having taken into cognisance the fact that in a long while he has stopped tagging me in anything police matter!
However for the fact that my attention has been drawn to this matter by way of tagging…… I need to let @ruggedybaba know that with your hobnobbing with police and seeking attention with officers and men of the police force and making it public by way of postins on social media will send a signal that you have converted from #endsars to #reformsars.
Because it’s expected you might have been made to understand all efforts been put in place by the leadership of the force to reformsars (and of course you have demonstrated that by showing some of the efforts unknowingly to you… example is the branding of the uniform for the department) For you to still come out to say “I stand with #endsars until it is reformed” somehow looks contradictory and confusing!
On the singer’s history with the Police, she wrote;
You will remember vividly that your first encounter with police was when your younger brother was arrested?! You remember I received your call through @9iceofficial Who informed me about the incident and I quickly placed a call across to you and not only was your brother released. All other men randomly picked with him were also released on my instruction to the DPO!
Since then we both agreed we are going to work and we have been working together to curb their excesses until you decided to #endsars (we both know why) but anyway no one eats his cake and have it!!!
If what you stand for is #endsars let’s know and if it’s #reformsars let’s know…… Going forth and back will confuse anyone…. Stakeholders on #endsars are engaging the police to ensure proper things are been done without too much of showing it off on social media!!
My advice to you is that if really your police engagement is not for personal aggrandizement, take it off social media or else it might be misconstrued … No one should get this twister @ruggedybaba and I remain partners in progress, he’s always welcome to partner with us to ensure we get the bad eggs out of the force.
