Iretiola Doyle has condemned the Nigerian government for deploying armed policemen to discourage unarmed protesters from carrying out a peaceful protest, yet doing nothing to armed bandits who wreak havoc in the country.
Armed policemen and soldiers clashed with unarmed citizens yesterday, August 5, as they set out to begin the planned #RevolutionNow protest. During the clash between uniformed men and citizens, Nigerians were teargassed and one photo purportedly showed a man shot in the leg. Some protesters were also arrested and taken away in a Black Maria.
Also, prior to the protest, Omoyele Sowore – the organiser of the Revolution Now protest and former presidential aspirant – was arrested by the DSS and is still in custody.
These, combined, created tension in the country and has been the topic of most conversations.
Reacting to the chaos, actress Iretiola Doyle tweeted; “It doesn’t matter where you stand politically, you have to admit (at the very least) that it’s a curious case when a nation deploys its security apparatus against unarmed citizens while armed bandits roam free; killing, stealing and destroying at will.”
Her tweet quickly went viral and she soon shared a follow-up post that reads: “For the avoidance of doubt and for those who still choose to intentionally misconstrue my words; let me make it abundantly clear: I am not PDP, APC or any of the P’s. I am NIGERIAN – Yoruba by birth, Northern by assimilation and Igbo by association.”
Utterly pent content, Really enjoyed looking through.
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!
