Shock and dismay has spread worldwide after scenes of police brutality in Nigeria went viral.
Already deemed #BlackTuesdayNigeria, the globe has watched on in horror as innocent, peaceful protestors were shot dead by officials in Lekki — simply for demanding the end of SARS (a forceful and corrupt police division).
Now, a growing of names – including Rihanna and Nicki Minaj – are uniting as one voice with Nigerians to call for the end of the violence.
See what they had to say below…
Rihanna
“I can’t bare to see this torture and brutalization that is continuing to affect nations across our planet! It’s such a betrayal to the citizens, the very people put in place to protect are the ones we are most afraid of being murdered by! My heart is broken for Nigerian man!! It is unbearable to watch! I’m so proud of your strength and no letting up on the fight for wha’s right! #ENDSARS”
