Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia has joined activists across the country are marking today, May 28 as a national day of mourning over the widespread and incessant killings in Nigeria. Several states including Benue, Taraba and Zamfara have been hit by persistent violence caused by Fulani herdsmen and others caused by armed bandits.
Tired of the federal government’s seeming inability to curb the violence, activists took to the streets of Lagos and Abuja to draw attention to the state of affairs in Nigeria, with the hope that more urgent and effective action will be taken.
Other notable Nigerians supporting this campaign include Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Mathew Hassan Kukah and Co-founder of BudgIT, Oluseun Onigbinde.
Below are pictures from the ongoing protest.
