Billionaire daughter, Temi Otedola has finally broken her silence on the ongoing #EndSars protest in Nigeria.
She revealed that it took her so long to speak on the issue because she needed to fully research and get her facts before jumping on the train.
She stated that she is deeply saddened by the situation and called for the leaders to take action immediately.
Her tweet reads,
I’ve been taking the last few days to fully research on the topic of #PoliceBrutalityInNigeria, I didn’t want to jump on a hashtag before understanding the stories of the victims… + I’ve been deeply saddened at the fact that history continues to repeat itself.
From Chinedu Meniru to Augustina Arebu, Ifeanyi Ozor to Ekene Isaac Mgbe, whether in Lagos or Ughelli, COUNTLESS innocent lives have been lost over the years, and the Nigerian people have had enough.
I think this reflects that we are not learning from history & after every outrage we go back to Business as Usual!!! This time it must be different!! Our Leaders both In Government, The Police & the private sector must come together to act NOW #EndSARSImmediately.
