Former United States’ Secretary of States Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night asked Nigerian authorities to “stop killing” persons protesting against police brutality in the country.
Clinton is one of the few high-profile American politicians that have spoken against the brutality meted out to protesters since demonstrations began about two weeks ago.
Witnesses said shots were fired at the crowd of over 1,000 peaceful demonstrators to disperse them several hours after the authorities had declared an open-ended lockdown in Lagos in the face of protests.
In a tweet on Tuesday night, Clinton lent her voice in support of those who had condemned the action of the soldiers.
“I’m calling on @mbuhari and the @hqnigerianarmy to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters,” she tweeted.
