American music and reality Tv star, Kanye West has joined in the list of foreign public figures who have joined Nigeria in the fight against police brutality. West added his voice to the chorus chanting against the unethical harassment and killing of Nigerian citizens.
The fashion designer advised the Nigerian authorities to listen to the people and act accordingly. In his tweet, he wrote,
“I stand with my Nigerian brothers and sisters to end police brutality, the government must answer to the people’s cries #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria”
The entire #EndSARS campaign has gained recognition from several international bodies and public figures. On Sunday, the Inspector General of Police announced that the police unit has been dissolved and this only fuelled bigger and louder protests nationwide. Protesters have said that they would not relent until there is an executive order from the President. They have also requested an independent body to investigate the officers who have killed innocent citizens and prosecute them.
