Nigerian staff of the American embassy in Abuja took the knee on Monday; June 8 to show support for the Black Lives Matter protesters.
Protesters are demanding justice for George Floyd and other black victims of police brutality in the US.
The embassy posted a photo of its staff going down on one knee and wrote: “Today at the Embassy, we joined together in 84 seconds of silence in solidarity with those at home and around the world protesting the murders of George Floyd & others. We sincerely hope that all of us will learn from this episode & use it as inspiration to create a better world.”
Recall that earlier in the month; the embassy had warned its citizens against visiting its consulate office at Walter Carrington Crescent in Victoria Island, Lagos, over a planned protest against the killing of George Floyd.
