Hello everyone,
As you may know, for the last three weeks Nigerians all over the world have been peacefully protesting against police brutality in their country.
We are also aware of the emotional toll this can have, particularly, on Nigerian students in the University. Hence, we wanted to inform you of the support services the University offers:
#EndSARS#EndPoliceBrutality#EndBadGoveranceInNigeria
On the 20th of October 2020, the Nigerian government ordered army tanks to shoot at peaceful protestors who were protesting against the constant police brutality faced by Nigerian citizens.

This has supposedly been going on for years. However, lessons barely received by students.
@sheffielduni made no attempt in publicising this video on main platforms as well. Again, everything right on paper but never in action.
