Multiple award-winning American singer, Rihanna, has taken
to her verified Twitter account to lend her voice to the #OccupyLekkiTollGate
protest.
The singer simply wrote on her Twitter account, “Peaceful
protest is a human right!! #EndSARS.”
This was in response to a tweet by the verified Amnesty
International Nigeria Twitter account, which stated, “Amnesty International was
informed that several protesters were arrested and have been detained. Several
sources, including video evidence, tell harrowing stories of widespread use of
torture and other ill-treatment against detainees. #EndSARS
#LekkiTollGateProtest.”
Rihanna also showed solidarity to the protest by retweeting
another post by Amnesty International Nigeria, which read, “Nigerian
authorities must: #EndSARS — Immediately end the violent police crackdown
against peaceful protesters; — Immediately release all the people arrested
solely for exercising their rights to peaceful protest. #Lekkitollgate.”
