Following the cancellation of his planned participation in the protest, some said it was because he was arrested and tortured by the Department of State Services (DSS) and others feel it was because he just didn’t want to be responsible for whatever would have happened at the venue of the protests.

But whatever the reason, 2baba spoke out saying he wasn’t arrested by the DSS.

Meanwhile, mixed reactions have trailed the video. Read comments from Nigerians below:
