Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham recently took to her social media page to explain why she showed support for the ongoing EndSARS protest in the country.
The actress shared a story of a friend of hers who was also affected by police brutality. According to Toyin, a very close friend if hers identified as Nike Adekanle was hit by a stray bullet from a police officer as far back as 1996.
The actress noted that Nike was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life after she was hit by the stray bullet in Apata, Ibadan adding that her friend was at the hospital for about a year and the police didn’t bother to check on her nor foot the hospital bills.
Toyin also shared the photo of her friend Nike on a wheel chair and she wrote:“This is my family friend Adenike @nikeadekanle .. She wasn’t born like this, it was a stray bullet from the Nigeria police on the 23rd of July 1996 around 3pm in Apata Ibadan and she was in the hospital for over a year. Not even a call or check up or Bill payment by the police.
{P.s- I had to get her permission to do this }
