American singer, Janet Jackson has thrown her weight behind the protesters against police brutality in Nigeria, saying the youths are brave.
Recall that in the late hours of yesterday (Tuesday, October 20, 2020), some soldiers, according to reliable reports, stormed the tollgate protest ground, and shot indiscriminately at the peaceful #EndSARS protesters.
As seen on videos making rounds on the internet, the peaceful protesters begged for the shooting to stop as they were harmless, but in what looked like an aim to kill for the soldiers, they continued regardless of the lives at risk.
In her reaction to the incident, Jackson admitted that Nigeria is a great nation, but with the Lekki Tollgate onslaught, it’s evident to her that some persons have brought shame to the country.
While heaping praises on the peaceful #EndSARS protesters, the music star prayed to God for justice and liberation.
Her statement read: “To the powerful people of Nigeria, especially the young, brave, future leaders who have stood fearlessly in the face of corruption and greed. I stand with you.
“For all those who refuse to remain chained to another generation of suffering, I pray to God for your justice and liberation.
“Enough is truly enough!!! Nigeria is a land of love, beauty, culture, and pride but those who have chosen to murder and brutalise have brought shame to this great nation. Your time is up. Nigeria, I pray for you and I love you so much.”
