The United States of America has backed the calls for an immediate investigation into the use of excessive force by members of the security forces on unarmed #ENDSARS protesters in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria.
 “The right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are essential human rights and core democratic principles,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said. 
“We welcome an immediate investigation into any use of excessive force by members of the security forces,”  Pompeo said in a statement.
 Pompeo urged Nigerian authorities to ensure that those involved in the dastardly act “should be held to account in accordance with Nigerian law.”
