“The protesters didn’t ask for war, just for a better Nigeria” – Chelsea’s Antonio Rüdiger reacts to #LekkiGenocide

Chelsea defender, Antonio Rüdiger has reacted to the recent unlawful shooting and killing of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate on Tuesday night.

In his post, the sportsman said he’s shocked how the situation has escalated after he had put out a statement last week condemning police brutality in Nigeria.

He also said the situation in Nigeria has nothing to do with democracy as he noted that it’s more like a military rule which according to him is a violation of human rights at the highest order.

He wrote, “After my short statement about Nigeria already last week I’m now even more shocked about how the situation there has got more and more out of control. This saddens me so much. This has absolutely nothing to do with democracy.

It is more like a military rule and it’s a violation of human rights at the highest order. President@mbuhari and the Nigerian Army, stop killing peaceful young protesters. Stop killing the people you are supposed to protect.

The protesters didn’t ask for war, just for a better Nigeria. #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria #EndSARS”
