A Nigerian and Minister of Justice, Solicitor-General and MLA for Edmonton- South West, Kaycee Madu has expressed his support for the ongoing #EndSARS protest in Nigeria.
Madu tweeted:
“I support the people of Nigeria as they protest to end police brutality and extrajudicial killings. My own cousin Chrisantus Nwabueze Korie was murdered by Nigerian police in April 2013.”
Madu noted, “Despite my best efforts, the police would not investigate his murder and did everything to obstruct. I also helped to petition a committee of Nigeria’s National Assembly to probe the killing and report back to the House within a timely manner.”
He stated further that fundamental human rights like peace, security and freedom from police brutality are universal. “The Nigerian government has an obligation to protect its citizens and deliver substantive police reform.
“Edmund Burke wrote that, ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ I encourage all Nigerians to stand up and be heard.”
