I’m proud of, and support the youth in Nigeria who are taking a stand to end police violence at home. Enough is enough. You can’t inflict the same crime you’ve been hired to protect against. #Ozugo! #EndSARs ✊???✊? pic.twitter.com/Lo3JHzmukF

The “disbanding” of SARS is step 1. This has happened before. We have to build a form of community safety that actually makes Nigerians feel safe. Let this be a battle that’s part of a larger movement against corruption to demand a government that truly serves us ??#EndSARS

It’s easy to tweet and say some stuff that the ppl want to hear but thats not all that really matters what really matters is what is going on behind the scenes and what someone is actually “DOING” to help make the changes we need. Big up everyone doing their part.❤️
