Lupita has lent her voice concerning the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria as she calls for the leaders to value the lives of their citizens. She becomes the latest celebrity to publicly condemn the Lekki shootings while also sharing the video of the massacre via her twitter page.

She wrote alongside the video;

“I echo the declaration of the people in Nigeria to END POLICE BRUTALITY and the call for their lives to be valued by the leaders of their nation.

“Last week, the world saw this call answered with the wounding and murders of Nigerians in Lekki. I so badly want the end of this kind of violence and abuse of authority for Nigeria, for my own country, Kenya, and for the country I live in now, USA.

“It seems that this is the resounding battle cry of 2020 across the globe, to have police powers reevaluated, their organizations held accountable and systems rebuilt to serve the people. I support the fight against political interests that have no interest in the rights of the people. #EndSARS.”
