Now this is how you represent Naija style. This Aunty ate and left no crumbs 😀 #KingCharlesCoronation
- Have you been stopped by any SARS officials in the last two days? Comment where and when, if yes. Thank you.
- Delighted to announce that I have been promoted to CNN's Senior Editor for Africa. It's been 6 years living in Lagos, creating a new bureau, editing, and creating impactful content. Looking forward to doing much more and changing the African narrative along the way...
- I am being tagged on the most atrocious videos of police brutality from the protests. It is evident that there is no intention to change the status quo. I am investigating and trying to get the story out there. Keep sharing them. My DM is open. Stay safe #SARSMUSTENDNOW
- I was supposed to be on @questCNN yesterday talking #SARSMUSTEND but that crazy storm last night blew out our connection and we couldn’t go live. We’ll be back. Keep sending your stories. I am reading the DMs. See you at the protest.
- Where are you protesting today? I want to hear from folks outside of Lagos and Abuja too. We want to share your stories. #EndSars #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria
- Dubai turned the Burj Khalifa green when it struck midnight in Nigeria. A major branding win. #HappyNewYear2021
- There's a video that I can't get out of my mind. Someone is filming police rounding up young boys in Ogbomosho. They mentioned the name Akeju. Only to see now the name Akeju among the names of the dead. Is this the same person? How did he die when he was arrested alive? DM me.
- I am being tagged on reports that armed men took people away from their homes overnight in Lagos. Please DM if you have more info. Only DM if you have concrete information, not from WhatsApp or others on this app. Thank you.
- Does Nigeria have a missing person's register? The stories in my DM are frightening and harrowing. People have been through so much. The resilience and the capacity to pick up the pieces is both inspiring and heartbreaking.
- Police are clamping down heavily on the few protesters that turned up. We saw some beaten with sticks and their posters confiscated. One young man who said he was an observer was taken away in a Black Maria. #Lekkitollgate
- I was at the #EndSARS Lagos protests today. People looked out for each other and handed out food and water. Police were around and mostly kept away from the crowd. Sadly not the case in Ogbomosho, Abeokuta & Abuja with arrests, one person dead and teargas and live rounds used.
