Mourning the young girl, Toyin
Abraham, Kemi Afolabi abd Tiwa Savage caption their post thus:
toyin_abraham: What do we call it
when police men who are supposed to be protectors of lives are the one taking
lives? My hearts are with the parents of Tina and I am committed to supporting
them in my own little way. I am impressed with the swift response on arresting
the erring cops but please let it not end there. Police as an institution must
show that it will no longer condone this act of lawlessness. Nigerians must
feel safe within Nigeria.
tiwa savage: Over the seas and right
on our doorstep, there is so much evil in the World ... kaduna killings, SARZ
brutality, black lives matter, so many of us dying. So many that we don’t even
hear about because they don’t have a hashtag. Today has been a horrible day 💔.
kemi afolabi: These past days my
heart has been heavy with the killings and injustice happening everywhere.
There is no way you come online without having to behold sad and unfortunate
stories. From the massacres in kaduna, To the 16 years old Tina waiting to
write WAEC whose life was cut short by trigger happy police men.
The racism in America and Indian to
say the least, the death of our Igbo brother who was killed in Indian because
of claims of theft! Ahmaud Aubrey, George Floyd and so on.
