The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby says he condemns the shooting of unarmed protesters in Lekki and urges President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that lives are protected.

The Archbishop, who is the Chief of the Anglican Church globally disclosed this on Wednesday morning, as the  International Community reacted to videos of protesters getting shot at the Lekki tollgate.

I condemn in the strongest terms the reported deliberate shooting of unarmed protesters in #Lagos and other parts of #Nigeria. 

I have urged President @MBuhari directly to ensure that lives are protected – and I say that again now. 

I mourn for Nigeria. May God save Nigeria.

— Archbishop of Canterbury (@JustinWelby) October 21, 2020
