According to reports, the lawsuit was filed by a group of individuals who claim to have been injured or affected by the violence that erupted during the protests. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation and damages from the defendants, who they accuse of inciting violence and promoting hate speech during the protests.
The defendants named in the lawsuit include:
- Pastor Sam Adeyemi, a popular Nigerian pastor and founder of Daystar Christian Centre.
- Davido, a Nigerian musician and entrepreneur.
- Falz, a Nigerian rapper and singer.
- Burna Boy, a Nigerian musician and activist.

- Wizkid, a Nigerian musician and entrepreneur.
- Mr. Macaroni, a Nigerian comedian and activist.
- Naira Marley, a Nigerian musician and entrepreneur.
- Runtown, a Nigerian musician and entrepreneur.
- Mr. Eazi, a Nigerian musician and entrepreneur.
The lawsuit is reportedly seeking damages of N500 million (approximately $1.3 million USD) from each of the defendants, as well as an additional N1 billion (approximately $2.6 million USD) in general damages.
It's worth noting that the lawsuit has sparked a heated debate in Nigeria, with some people supporting the plaintiffs' claims and others defending the defendants' actions during the protests. The case is currently pending in court, and it remains to be seen how it will be resolved.
