US rapper Kanye West has joined a growing list of international celebrities speaking out in support of large protests against police brutality in Nigeria.

“I stand with my Nigerian brothers and sisters to end police brutality, the government must answer to the peoples cries #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria,” West tweeted Monday.
Celebrities including singer Trey Songz (real name Tremaine Aldon Neverson), former professional footballer Rio Ferdinand and “Star Wars” actor John Boyega are also among those showing support to those protesting the disbandment of a controversial police unit in the West African nation.
The protests in cities across Nigeria came after weeks of outcry online from young people in the country over claims of kidnapping, harassment, and extortion by a police unit known as the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS.
Demonstrations continued after the Inspector General of Police announced Sunday that the unit was being disbanded and its officers redeployed.

]]> Nigerians protesting the brutality of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, a unit under the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, have raised over twenty million to fund the ongoing protest. 

One of the protesters with the Twitter @fkabudu took to her page to give details of money contributed and disturbed for the purposes of food supplies, emergency health support and donation to families of dead victims during the protest. 

SARS has been accused of extrajudicial killings and assault on youths over the use of luxury items.

“EndSars” began as a largely online movement, trending internationally on social media and gaining the support of figures including the footballer Marcus Rashford and the actor John Boyega.

Many of those marching in Lagos and cities across Nigeria have been in their 20s and 30s, protesting for the first time and spurred by personal experiences of or connections with abuses by the security forces.
