The 2016 US president candidate and former United States secretary of state, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton has warned the Nigerian President and the Army to desist from killing unarmed #ENDSARS protesters.
Hillary Clinton was reacting to several reports and videos circulating over the internet which clearly captured the genocide at Lekki Toll Gate Lagos State.
The peaceful #EndSARs Protests which started few days back with the aim of putting an end Police brutality and bad governance, turned bloody on Tuesday 20th October 2020 after the Nigerian army opened fire on the Protestersa at Lekki Toll Gate.
Few were reportedly killed while many sustained various degrees of injury. From the video clips circulating on social media, Nigerian youths were seen singing ‘Nigeria’s National Anthem’, when soldiers opened fire on them.
However, having been informed about the protests and the killings therewith, Hillary Clinton wrote via her verified Twitter handle:
“I’m calling on @mbuhari and the @hqnigerianarmy to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters. #StopNigeriaGovernment”.
