Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has thrown his weight behind the fight against police brutality and extra-judicial killings in Nigeria.
The British driver on Sunday shared a photo of him wearing a black shirt with the Nigerian map and EndSARS crested on it.
“We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves and raise awareness of the tragedies happening in the world around us and take action where we can,” he tweeted on his official handle, amplifying calls to end human rights abuses by the police. “The recent events in Nigeria are a human rights crisis.”
At the onset of the month, many Nigerians took to the streets, demanding the scrapping of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) hated by many in Africa’s most populous nation.
The now-defunct unit of the police was accused of human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings, a development which the demonstrators say had been going on for years.
Despite the scrapping of the unit by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Adamu Mohammed, the protesters stayed on the streets, citing similar pronouncements which were made in the past but came to nothing.
Things took a dangerous dimension on Tuesday last week when armed soldiers opened fire on the protesters in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
The shooting, witnesses say, resulted in the death of scores of persons but the Nigerian Army later denied responsibility for the incident.
Human rights organization, Amnesty International, however, put the casualty figure from the incident and another one at Ikeja at 12.
DECENCY3: That's to tell you that something is cooking at the background.
I strongly believe Yahoo Yahoo and Yahoo+ boys including touts a re behind this.
The brutality and killing is there but what happens to reforming them instead of totally scrapping of the department. Is there any provision for replacement for the duties they were performing
I don't support you comment but still i think the rule of law should be able to justify if you are a yahoo boy or not, not the type of ohone you use or the car you drive.
I haven't seen SARS make an arrest in the north or kill a youth for his dressing. What is happening are the SARS ment for the southern people alone na question i dey ask. If not why are we the only ones crying about this?

The fact is, the media don’t exist to inform. For the most parts, their job is to get bums on seats. So they sensationalise and rely on people’s short memories. Some of us won't even remember the wrong and damage this so called people in power did this year when election year is near. We have forgotten the lockdown parletives When is the time to hold them accountable for the way they rules use like sheep's. Tribalism we keep us down and we won't achieve anything .
