They are ready to kill.. so to change them you have to be prepared to die #CrimesAgainstHumanity #LekkiMassacre #EndSARS
Somebody must stand trial for this. I don't care how long it takes. Someone must be held accountable. If not by domestic criminal law, then by international criminal law. This bloody impunity has to end with our generation. #EndSARS #LekkiMassacre
