The planned protest by Nigerian popular musician, Mr. Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2face has been cancelled, according to the singer.
Mr. Idibia had called a protest to be held on the 6th of February against the Federal government who he believed was not doing its primary duties for the citizens, coupled with the changes and hardship experienced since the assumption of office by President Buhari-led government.
The Nigerian police had warned that it wouldn’t allow the protest to hold citing security challenges.
