END POLICE BRUTALITY IN KENYA, NIGERIA AND USA-LUPITA NYONG’O

Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o is the latest celebrity to join the fight to end police brutality in Kenya, Nigeria and USA.

Nyong’o took to her official Instagram account, to post a video and message in support of the movement to end the special anti-robbery squad SARS. She also condemned the shooting and killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki tollgate, “I echo the declaration of the people in Nigeria to end police brutality and the call for their lives to be valued by the leaders of their nation.

Last week, the world saw this call answered with the wounding and murders of Nigerians in Lekki. I so badly want the end of this kind of violence and abuse of authority for Nigeria, for my own country, Kenya, and for the country I live in now, USA.

It seems that this is the resounding battle cry of 2020 across the globe, to have police powers re-evaluated, their organizations held accountable and systems rebuilt to serve the people.

I support the fight against political interests that have no interest in the rights of the people. #EndSARS”
