Joe Biden, former VP of the United States of America, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army to stop killing those protesting against police brutality in Nigeria.
In a post on Twitter, he said, “I urge President Buhari & the Nigerian military to cease the violent crackdown on protesters in Nigeria…The US must stand with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating for police reform & seeking an end to corruption in their democracy.”
An unconfirmed number of persons have been reportedly killed after security operatives opened fire on peaceful #ENDSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of Lagos on Tuesday night.
Scenes of protesters removing a bullet from victims were broadcast in a live video on Instagram by DJ Switch, a popular disc jockey.
Gunfire and sirens could be heard in videos filmed near the toll gate.
