British-Nigerian professional boxer, Anthony Joshua has finally lent his voice on the issue of Police Brutality going on in his fatherland, Nigeria.
This is as he expressed displeasure at the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate last night.
The situation has escalated, the violence and killings are horrendous. All because of people saying they want to live in peace?
