Hillary Clinton Urges Nigeria President to Stop Killings

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and the army to “stop killing young #EndSARS protesters”.

Shots were fired on Tuesday at protesters in Nigeria’s commercial city of Lagos, although the army has denied involvement. Videos of the shootings were shared on social media.

Mrs Clinton started a new hashtag for the anti-police brutality protests tweeting #StopNigeriaGovernment:

Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed an indefinite 24-hour curfew saying that criminals had hijacked the protests.
