Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has criticised the Nigerian Government's proposed military intervention in Niger following a coup in the Sahelian country.

The musician born Damini Ogulu during an Instagram Live session on Tuesday questioned how the federal government plans to invade the neighbouring country with its prevailing fuel subsidy crisis.

Speaking in Pidgin English, Burna Boy said, “Wettin dey sub na? Dem say na War we wan enter like this o [laughs]. Fuel never dey you wan go fight war.

“How you wan reach the battlefield? You go use….Wettin dem dey use that generator now do? Gas generator. E shock me. Wahala no dey ever tire Nigeria.”
