Rapper Skales blasts Buhari’s aide for failing to speak against police brutality

Rapper cum singer, Skales has harsh words for President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad for his failure to comment about police brutality suffered by innocent citizens.

Skales took to social media to slam Bashir Ahmad saying he had no feelings concerning the plight of Nigerian’s despite growing up in the Northern part of the country just like him.

The furious rapper even went ahead to wish that the presidential aide and his family members experience what Nigerians face in the hands of overzealous policemen who harass innocent citizens in the name of carrying out their duties.

However, Bashir Ahmad in his characteristic manner replied the caustic comments by Skales when he wrote thus; “Part of the price of being a public servant; anyway, I wish my family, your family and family of every Nigerian well. As you prepare to release your new single, all the best! #smile
