Nigerian singer and songwriter Burna Boy has released a new song titled '20 10 20'.
The song is inspired by the events of October 20, 2020, in which Nigerian military personal are said to have opened fire at peaceful protestors who had gathered at the Lekki Toll-Gate in Lagos, Nigeria in one of the #EndSARS protests that were pushing for reforms in the police force.
During the incident that attracted widespread condemnation globally, several protestors were killed and many others left nursing bullet wounds.
With the incident still fresh in many minds of Nigerians, Burna Boy decided to go into the studio and drop a song about it.
'20 10 20' is a song that Burna Boy clearly composed and sang with pain in his heart considering he was among the celebrities who took part in the nationwide protests that took place for about two weeks in Nigeria and also abroad.
The song mentions Nigerian President, Lagos State Governor, Chief of Staff and Army Commander who are some of the individuals accused of being behind the shoot-at-protestors order.
