Lekki Massacre: My heart is broken for Nigeria – Rihanna

American popular singer, Rihanna has posted in solidarity with the EndSARS protesters who were killed on Tuesday evening, October 20, by men in Army uniform.

Rihanna Fenty is in tears as she cannot bear to see the torture and brutality that has continued to occur not only in Nigeria but also across the world.

“I can’t bear to see this torture and brutalization that is continuing to affect nations across our planet. It is such a betrayal to the citizens, the very people put in place to protect are the ones we are most afraid of being murdered by. My heart is broken for Nigeria. It is unbearable to watch,” she posted on her social media pages in her reaction to the Lekki Toll Gate shooting.

Rihana, however, praised Nigerians for their courage despite the tough times.

“I’m so proud of your strength and for not letting up on the fight for what is right. #EndSARS,” she added.

Her comments come hours after soldiers reportedly opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate Area of Lagos State.

The Lagos State government has denied involvement in the Lekki Toll murder, noting that it was carried out by forces not directly under their control.

However, 28 people have been confirmed injured with 2 under intensive treatment.
