A group of protesters have called for an end to black brutality in the United States of America of George Floyd.

The group took to the streets of Lagos under the heavy rainfall to protest the killing of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin

According to the group, the killing of Floyd is another grim example of how black lives have been disregarded by the state and their affiliates

Reacting to the killing of Floyd by Chauvin and the growing protests in the streets of various states of America, the Black Lives Matter Movement in Nigeria (BLMMN) defied the heavy downpour in Lagos in condemnation of racism against coloured people in the US.

Speaking on behalf of the group, convener, Josephine Okpara said an end must be put to “white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes”.

Okpara expressed disgust at the manner blacks are being dehumanised, describing it as “uncharitable and a gross disservice to our intellectual sense of existence in the world”.

She said the killing of Floyd is another grim example of how black lives have been disregarded by the state and their affiliates.

The BLMMN expressed total solidarity with the global community in condemnation of the indiscriminate killing of black people.

“Today, the numbers are increasing daily with many George Floyds gone unnoticed. For how long can we continue to watch as many others are cut down in their prime just because of the colour of their skin?” Okpara queried.

Okpara said that their thoughts and prayers are with the families of those that have lost their lives by the shenanigans of the US government who have failed address this menace that has indeed put black people all over the United States of America at risk.

She urged President Donald Trump and everyone in government to take up the challenge of making “Black Lives Matter now and forever in the US”.

“We are in solidarity in Nigeria. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those that have lost their lives by the shenanigans of government in addressing this menace that has indeed put Black People all over the United States of America at risk,” Opara added.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Floyd was killed by Chauvin on Monday, May 25, by Chauvin after the police officer handcuffed and trapped him by pinning him down with his leg on his neck for more than eight minutes.

Following his killing, protesters have stormed streets of the US and other countries in demand for justice for late Floyd.

    NO ONE ESCAPES KARMA AND IF THEY KNEW THAT REALITY THEY WOULD DO BETTER AND MORE LOVING THINGS WITH THE LIVES THEY LIVE. WE ARE BEARING WITNESS TO THE EFFECT OF EVIL WORKING AGAINST GOOD. THE UNFORTUNATE PART IS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THESE ACTIONS BUT MANY WHO DONT.. MAY BLACK MELANIN PEOPLE FINALLY CDOME TO ONE ANOTHER’S UNIFICATION AS WE ARE EXTENDED FAMILY FROM THE TIME OUR ANCESTORS WERE KIDNAPPED AND BROUGHT OVERHERE, FROM THE TIME WE FOUGHT AGAINST ONE ANOTHER AND ASSISTED IN THE KIDNAPPING, FROM THE TIME WE SPIED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE BROUGHT US HARM. WE ALL ARE CONNECTED WITH THE WATER AND THE BREATH LIKE THE UMBILICAL CORD FROM THE MOTHER TO THE BABY. WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THROUGH TEACHING OUR CULTURE AND TRAINING OUR YOUTH THE SKILLS OF ARCHITECTURE, FARMING, SCIENCE ETC. AND LEARNING THE SPIRITUAL WAYS OF OUR ANCESTORS. LOVE IS THE SPIRIT OF OUR CREATOR. LET US PLANT AND GROW IT AND SERVE IT…
