Rihanna Shows Support For #EndSars Protesters Following Military Attack

The unexpected happened during the #EndSars protests in Nigeria, specifically at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos. Military men reportedly attacked the protesters, shooting shooting sporadically at unarmed citizens.

Nigerians took to the streets to protest against Police brutality, their rogue activities, unjustifiable murders, and corruption.

Couple of American celebrities including Lil Baby, Trey Songz, Big Sean and more have lent their voices in support of the Nigerian youths. Recently, Tiwa Savage called out Beyonce, urging her to react to the issue.
