British-Nigerian professional boxer, Anthony Joshua has finally lent his voice on the issue of Police Brutality going on in his fatherland, Nigeria.
This is as he expressed displeasure at the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate last night.
The situation has escalated, the violence and killings are horrendous. All because of people saying they want to live in peace?

However Nigerians were angry he waited this long before commenting on such an important issue.
See reactions below ;
You are a failure. We tagged you repeatedly and you chose to ignore. Your silence was loud and we heard it. Which middle ground now? After they have opened fire on unarmed civilians? Lol.
History will remember you for this.— PT Favour Okunade (B.PT Unilag) (@Favygaint) October 20, 2020
Did I just waste my time & data on this wrabbish? Olorun Anthony Joshua, whoever you’re fighting next will be as strong as Samson & Achilles, him go burst your eyes & that your mouth you’re using to talk your nonsense. Agbaya

@gnwalor ;
What support exactly is he talking about ? For two weeks now this protest have gone on, where was your voice of support until they started massacring our innocent youths.

You said a lot and at the same time said nothing at all.
@ij_caramel ;
Ekaro oo, we’ve come this far without you, so we’re good without this poetry you’re presenting.
