Nigerian Government Condemns George Floyd’s Killing

This gathering is against violence, brutality and racial discrimination. We call for respect and dignity for all races. Never again should we be made to witness what we saw on the streets of Minneapolis, the slow murder of an individual by a uniformed police officer,” Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said.

Mr Runsewe who is also the president World Council of Arts, African Region, said African culture has great respect for the sanctity of human life and detests violence. He said;

“We are joining the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission to ask for justice for Late George Floyd and to propagate the message of peace all over the world.

“We believe that all men are created equal and have inalienable rights among which are rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”
