Outrage as dictionary defines “Desmond Elliot” as a foolish person
Nigerians, especially celebrities have expressed displeasure as regards the ways and manners entertainment fans are dragging Desmond Elliot across social media platforms.
Desmond Elliot, an actor and Lagos State lawmaker, has been a subject of heavy social media attacks following his call for the regulation of social media last year (2020).
Nigerians, during the #EndSARS protest utilized social media to coordinate what remains the largest protest in the history of the country. However, it was tarnished by the activities of some hoodlums that took the opportunity to vandalize and destroy a lot of state owned properties.
Desmond Elliot in his attempt to criticize the destruction, called for the regulation of social media and erroneously referred to protesters as “Children”.
