"I am heartbroken to see the senseless brutality taking place in Nigeria. There has to be an end to SARS.
"We have been working on partnerships with youth organizations to support those protesting for change. We are collaborating with coalitions to provide emergency healthcare, food and shelter. To our Nigerian sisters and brothers, we stand by you."

Nigeria is currently the most populated country on the African continent with 206 million citizens, according to the latest statistics. For the past two weeks, the nation has been experiencing major unrest with youth-led groups protesting police brutality and the lack of employment opportunities.

These protests were unexpected and sudden to the authorities and many feel that it may well be a sign that the political landscape in the country is set to change.

It was previously reported that a group of Nigerians living in South Africa gathered on Wednesday to protest against the current unrest in the country. The group will be marching to the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria, determined to protest against the injustice despite being so far from home.
