In a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL), titled “Long, Dark Night in Nigeria – May Justice Prevail.”, Malik said, “So last night was one dark night in Nigeria.
“It was a night in which men of the Nigerian Army who are maintained and sustained by tax payers money opened fire on young, unarmed protesters who were seated at the Lekki Toll Gate, waving the Nigerian flag(s), singing the National Anthem and protesting against and demanding an end to police brutality – #EndSARS.”
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria condemned the killings adding that the act of the army goes against the Nigerian constitution and flag
“Without any equivocation, I condemn the action of the #NigerianArmy and #FGN. It is primitive, uncivilized, unconscionable, dastardly, reprehensible, condemnable, senseless, calous, mindless and barbaric. Indeed, the shameless act of the Army constitutes a desecration of the Nigerian flag and a violation of the Constitution.” he said
He also sympathized with the victims. He said “May the souls of all the #EndSARS soldiers felled by the #NigeranArmy bullets rest in peace.”
Malik called on “the Nigerian government must put an end to all forms of human right violations. It should also remember that those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.”
