Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo has pleaded with the UK Government and United Nations to help the people of Nigeria after protestors were killed on the streets of Lagos.
Angry demonstrations have been taking place in Nigeria for two weeks as citizens speak out against brutality from a now-disbanded section of the police called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
It has been reported that up to 12 people have been killed and others wounded after soldiers opened fire in the city's Lekki district on Tuesday, and Ighalo is among a high-profile group of sportsmen to have spoken out on social media.
