Veteran America singer Janet Jackson has reacted to the #EndSARS campaign in Nigeria.
The music star has praised “brave Nigerian youths” for their courageous fight for a better nation.
In a statement released via her Instagram page on Thursday, October 22, 2020, the twenty-two times Grammy award winner said she is praying for Nigeria as it faces these turbulent times.
Janeth Jackson, younger sister of the late Michael Jackson, criticized those who turned the peaceful movement into a bloody affair on Tuesday by killing unarmed protesters, saying that they have brought shame to the nation.
“To the powerful people of Nigeria, especially the young, brave, future leaders who have stood fearlessly in the face of corruption and greed,” she addressed. “I stand with you. For all those who refused to remain chained to another generation of suffering, I pray to God for your justice and liberation.
“Enough is truly enough!!! Nigeria is a land of love, beauty, culture, and pride but those who have chosen to murder and brutalize have brought shame to this great nation. Your time is up. Nigeria, I pray for you and I love you so much #EndSars #LekkiMassacre #EndPoliceBrutality.”
