I stand with my brothers and sisters in Nigeria! You gave me the name #Oluseyi and you are my family🙏🏿 We are many members but ONE BODY! May the God who balances all scales bring justice and peace to #Nigeria#ENDsars#ENDpolicebrutality#liVe#GodHealOurLand🙏🏿
We are on own. America has elections coming. UK is dealing with an underpaid PM and Brexit, the rest of the world is dealing with different kinds of protests on their own. And they know this.
There is no calvary.
We are our own calvary.
We are it!

At least 10 protesters have died in Nigeria at ongoing protests against police brutality. An effort to reform the police unit from SARS to SWAT appears to be little more than a rebranding exercise. @StephanieBusari reports https://t.co/cqaUAiT198

In Sept. 2016 we released a report detailing how SARS - a police unit created to protect the people has instead become a danger to society, torturing its victims with complete impunity while fomenting a toxic climate of fear and corruption. #EndSARS https://t.co/0p7l8YTczS
In June 2020 we released a report the detailing the shocking and complete failure of Nigerian authorities to bring an end to the gross human rights violations perpetuated by SARS. #EndSARS https://t.co/WWpMl6hfao
In Dec. 2009 we released; “Killing At Will” - a report on how hundreds of people are unlawfully killed by the police in Nigeria every year. Our findings show that some people die because they fail to pay police officers a bribe. #EndSARS https://t.co/OWpiSC1kqY
