Global celebrities such as Jidenna, US activist Opal Tometi, actors Danny Glover and Kerry Washington signed a petition addressed to Buhari to free the prisoners.
The letter read: “As people who have supported the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States and throughout the diaspora, we cannot be silent when similar atrocities take place in African countries.
“We demand respect for the Nigerian people, especially as they engage in their constitutional right to protest grave injustices,”
”As President of the world’s most populous Black republic, you assume a leadership role on the global stage. Nigeria matters.
“We expect nothing short of care for your people and concern for the reputation of your country. As Nigeria is a major powerhouse for the continent of Africa, you must know, President Buhari, that your response has exponential implications for the continent and the African diaspora.”
