‘Stop killing young protesters’ — Hillary Clinton tackles Buhari
Hillary Clinton, former US secretary of state, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the killing of #EndSARS protesters.
Soldiers had invaded the Lekki toll gate area of Lagos earlier on Tuesday, shooting at unarmed protesters.
The incident had generated an uproar, within and outside the country.
In a tweet on Tuesday night, Clinton lent her voice in support of those who had condemned the action of the soldiers.
“I’m calling on @mbuhari and the @hqnigerianarmy to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters,” she tweeted.
I’m calling on @mbuhari and the @hqnigerianarmy to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters. #StopNigeriaGovernment

There are reports that some of the protesters died in the incident but TheCable cannot independently verify this claim.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has ordered a probe of the shooting
Our reports are mostly lopsided. When these young boys burnt police facilities and killed officers everybody seem to like it calling it bravery. Alike to say when hen is pursuing dog it receives accolade but what if the dog turns around to pursue the hen it becomes a Human Rights issues. May God judge us all.
If you know the use of “Agent Provocateurs” you’d understand that these were purposely sent out to do exactly what was done for an excuse to kill peaceful protesters. All of a sudden jail inmates break loose; all of a sudden irate mobs break out in areas isolated from where the organized peaceful protests were going on and shown pictures of hoodlums burning police stations, something that didn’t happen in those years of June12 rallies and protests! My take, govt sent out those agents and told to go to utmost extreme so they may be justified in whatever dastardly action and to have reactions such as you have shown.
