Popular actor, now member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Desmond Elliot has been attacked by Nigerian youths.

This is coming after the lawmaker who represents Surulere 1 referred to protesters as children during his statement at a plenary session.

Reacting to his statement, Nigerian youths comprising celebrities have taken to social media to lambast him.

They wrote;

@Davido: “Desmond Elliot just destroyed all the precious childhood memories he gave us in movies.”

@sa_vvy_: “So Desmond Idiot thinks in the next five years there’ll be no Nigeria, not because of our murderous leaders or the high rate of poverty, but because of social media. that man has lost the plot.”

@chukkusmiles_: “If Desmond Elliot had the fear of God and respected those who lost their lives at the #LekkiMassacre we won’t be here. Such a shame.”

@Drolufunmilayo: “People died. But Desmond is more angry about online “curses” against their killers.”

“People were massacred but Desmond is more angry about the Oba Palace. People were murdered but Desmond is more angry about social media. Dear young Nigerian, I hope you now know your enemies.”

@Chlemchi: “How old is Desmond Elliot to call young people children? This is the illusion of political office in Nigeria. It makes one think they are infallible.”
