However, on seeing the allegations being trended online, the reality TV star came out with a post to debunk the news saying it’s false.
Trikytee noted that he has been out on the street of Lagos every other day protesting with well-meaning Nigerians adding that he would not shortchange himself by asking for payment.
Trikytee tweeted; “I have seen tweets going round about me requesting for money to support the #Endsars protest with my people in Bayelsa. Firstly that is not true and a lot of people can testify that I have been in support of this protest both online and offline.
“As a Nigerian youth I am passionate about the movement to #EndSars and #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria. There’s no way I would want to sit out the protest even when my management has requested I tone down. Why would I want to shortchange myself by asking for payment???
“The news making rounds online is completely false and should be treated as such. I am for a good Nigeria and an end to police brutality. I have been out almost every other day in Lagos protesting alongside concerned Nigerian youths. #EndSARS”
