I really don’t know what this world is turning into. I have a voice so I will use it. Why is police brutality still happening? In Nigeria, there were peaceful protests to end police brutality and reform the police, and to end sars! Why would you kill innocent people for no reason at all?! Including children?! I am even scared just to be at my house because there are killings everywhere and the burning of bridges. Yesterday, Nigerian soldiers opened fire on peaceful protesters. It was so disheartening to watch, the world can’t keep quiet and watch people die like this.
Nigerian lawmakers is this what you all signed for?
How can our president even sleep hearing this news? The fact that people are getting shot while singing the anthem and holding the flag. We care so much but the government has shown again and again that they don’t care the slightest. Innocent people injured and killed simply for asking that their humanity be acknowledged. It’s heartbreaking and it’s sickening. This is why it’s so important to keep fighting and not grow wary. We must demand the respect we deserve and demand it now. Rest in peace to the souls that lost their lives while protesting our cause. I’m praying for their families at this time and I hope we can say their names and keep the fight going.
The unified voices of Nigerians have been treated as a threat to democracy instead of an expression of it. We unreservedly condemn the government’s use of violence against peaceful protests. The responsibility of the government is to ensure that every civilian can safely express their rights and to protect human lives. Rather, from the onset of the #endsars peaceful protests the government has assaulted, harassed, and decimated several protesters through the police and other mobilized agents.
They shot people who were not armed and not violent. These actions are unforgivable and unconstitutional.
Please stay safe. Please stay home.
