Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the Bahd Guy, has released a tribute song for victims of police brutality.
In the song, Falz decried the excesses of police officers who barked at citizen for trying to assert their rights. A line in the song showed that most victims of police brutality get shot for attempting to explain their rights to a power-drunk policeman who may feel slighted by the effrontery.
Falz said about the song on his tweeter page: “We will never forget the heroes that have been unlawfully slain. This is for them. For every single Nigerian life snatched away unlawfully, we must make sure we get justice.

The song, accompanied with a video showing the #EndSARS protest and descriptive scenes of police highhandedness, has attracted praises from Nigerians, many of whom think Falz is Nigeria’s greatest artiste of conscience.
