Laycon also continued by saying that Nigerians were not even clamouring for basic amenities, but only asking not to get killed. He said that an end should be brought to SARS as well as police brutality.

He wrote:

“We are not asking for electricity or other basic amenities.
We are simply asking for the right to live. Can we live?
You’re meant to be our protectors. You’re meant to shield us from those than mean to harm us.
But now you torment us. Who is going to protect us from our protectors?
Have you no conscience? Have you no heart? This has gone on for far too long. We are tired and it is time to bring this Injustice to an End. A complete End! SARS Must End and So Must All Forms of Police Brutality.”

The reality star also ended his note by sympathising with people who had lost their lives or gotten injured due to the protests.
