The singer also expressed sadness over the current state of the nation and sympathised with victims of recent tragic events and their families.

“I’m weak. God please take control. We can’t continue like this. My heart goes out to the victims and family. This is messed up,” he wrote.

Earlier in the week, Nigerian rapper and activist Falz joined civil society groups in calling for demonstrations over the kidnapping of the schoolchildren, adding to growing demands for stronger action against insecurity across the country.
