Feminist Coalition, a group of gender rights activists, says it is now expanding its campaign against police brutality to include a call to restore the dignity of homosexuals, transgender and other non-conformist groups in Nigeria.

“Our communal fight to #EndSARS is inclusive of the LGBGTQ+ community who are also harassed, assaulted and killed by police,” the group said on Twitter Sunday evening. “They deserve the same justice we seek & even more so, as they are also a target of the law. You can’t be what you fight against!”

LGBTQ+ is widely defined as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer and others.

The comments came days after Twitter’s Jack Dorsey recognised the group as the face of the ongoing campaign to end police brutality in Nigeria. The police special anti-robbery squad, which sparked the movement, was abolished on October 11 amidst uproar.

But Nigerians have continued their agitation, demanding investigation of decades of rights abuses and compensation for victims.

On Sunday afternoon, Segun Awosanya, a rights activist who began the campaign to rid the country of police brutality in 2017, withdrew his participation in further protests, saying those leading it are becoming increasingly dangerous with an insurrection plot being introduced to the campaign.

Mr. Awosanya quickly criticised the coalition as shifting the goal post on Sunday evening, declaring their “agenda” as “dead on arrival.”

My Admonishment is that for us to attain Victory, there is Need to be Focused. There is Need to Avoid Distractions..

Whatever we do should be Guarded by Morality and Fear for GOD. We are a Nation that Fear GOD irrespective of Religion and Belief.

The No Leadership Movement has proved to be Excellent! As there is no Shepherd to Strike for the Sheep to Scatter..
.

Let's not allow For Distractions. There is no Room for Homosexuality/ Lgbt cause in Nigeria as a Country.
Let's Fear God so we don't spoil and Destroy this Noble Protest.

Lastly and Most Important! We are in the Very Endtimes!
Do not be Carried away by Events and ignore the Preparation of your Soul..
HARPAZO is upon us..
The RAPTURE is upon Us..
Don't be a Careless Soul..
Be Reconciled to GOD through JESUS!
Because No Matter what we do Here on ERth!
If you Miss Heaven! You Have Wasted your Life!

So in your words, police brutality against queer folks is okay?? God supports it

You should also be condemning police brutality against armed robbers and yahoo boys.

Let us not let the west cunningly introduce the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Nigeria

There is no Room for queer in Nigeria.
Carry your Abomination to your Home..

The Protest is Injustice against Nigerians . Male or Female.

That's all!

Sometimes I wonder how graduates emerge from universities. Intolerance will blind them to scatter this protest and fight themselves which is what these people want. They're fighting for the lgbts that have been brutalized as well. They are not fighting for it to be legalized or something. They are trying to involve everyone in this protest which is quite wise of them if they want the protest successful. They want everybody out In protest against SARS. A lot of nigerians are unable to comprehend.
Just watch as with this my simple logical comment one "olodo graduate" will come and come me gay. Too many dull graduates

HuntSon:
Honestly i didnt even see where they said they wanna legalize LGBTQ in Nigeria.

They want everyone to join the protest but want police to continue brutalizing a selective few. How does it make sense?

Nigerians saw a tweet saying “LGBTQs also have a right to protest against police brutality” but decided to read it as “we are now fighting for LGBTQs, no more End Sars” how does that make sense?

Oppressing others while fighting for oppression at the same time

manuelreports:
Funny but true this protest was initially sponsored mostly by Lesbians, Gays and Yahoo boys but right now it has gone beyond that.

Obamaofusa:
LGBT OR WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELVES SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY ARE AGAINST GOD.We beg you all to leave and allow sane people to protest.

NO TO LGBT.LGBT.....what arant balderdash!!!!!

HuntSon:
Nobody said they wanna legalize LGBTQ through the protests, calm your intolerance down!

They're simply saying they shouldn't be sidelined or shouldn't have the right to protest cos of their sexual orientation!

HuntSon:
It's not even okay to brutalize and kill a perceived fraudster without proper evidence, investigation or court charges! Take a look at how it's done in other countries, the hushpuppi case for example!

The protest includes all Nigerians that has suffered police brutality but the intolerant ones are now saying LGBTQ shouldn't be among, that's it's okay to brutalize them

sbaks:
I'd rather have a honest gay woman or man rule me than a straight oppressor. If gays sponsored a protest like this to alleviate suffering and bring in the best to this suffering country, I think they are better off than all the straight people who have ever ruled (that's if up to 20% of these rulers and politicians that brought the gay law are straight sef. )
Youths want a change but they must learn to be logical and to "always" choose the "lesser evil" (gay isn't evil though because you hurt no one). If they fail to be logical as to always choose the lesser evil, they'll be outsmarted anytime. How can you be logical? By choosing never to be biased. Where your mind is free, you'll understand things better. You'll be logical.

Obamaofusa:
They can wait for the end of this protest and come out for their protest then.

To me,LGBT is all about Satanic traits which are well imbued in a lost soul.

HuntSon:
Asin the minds of the oppressors are even a reflection of the mind of an average Nigerian!

They wanna be the oppressors but not the oppressed!

sbaks:
Huntson just watch as intolerance would make nigerians turn their anger towards gay folks and fight themselves. Scattering everything. At the end, the politicians would have succeeded in conquering them. Insensitive nigerians. These feminists are right. Join hands with all. Fight insecurity.
Intolerance of every form (whether religious, tribe or sexuality) is what always separates us. This is what politicians always use too in order to achieve their aim "divide and rule". These feminists are wise.
Truly women think smarter than men
