Pressure mounts on ECOWAS Chair, Akufo-Addo to speak on violence in Nigeria

Pressure is mounting on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to speak out on the ongoing #EndSars and #EndPolicebrutality protests after force was reportedly used against the protestors.

Several reports said protestors had been killed in the Lagos on Wednesday night, scaling up not just the disaffection against the Nigeria government but the silence of Ghana’s president who is also president of the West Africa sub regional body ECOWAS.

Several Nigerians and Ghanaians including high profile musicians, broadcasters and actors have taken to twitter to express their misgivings over Mr Akufo-Addo’s long silence on the issues happening in the oil-producing West African nation.

Actress Yvonne Nelson in a tweet said “Where is the AFRICAN UNION (AU) ? where is ECOWAS?? West african leaders, where are you??  speak for the people of NIGERIA! AFRICA AND THE WORLD IS WATCHING”
