#NigeriaMourns: RIP Kolade Johnson
Several lives have been lost to extra-judicial killings by police officers. Kolade Johnson was shot dead on Sunday, March 31st by police officers. After public outcry, President Buhari promised the culprits will be prosecuted.
May 28th has been dubbed the National Day of Mourning and Remembrance for all victims of violent killings in Nigeria. The first remembrance held last year, and we will not be quiet because every Nigerian life must count irrespective of religion or tribe!
Save the date for this year’s remembrance.
