According to HM Sadiya Umar Farouq, as a mother, sister & aunt I want to join ongoing calls for reforms in the police force. We need an urgent conversation that ensures the police do their work properly while keeping our young people safe and free from harassment. Young lives matter.

I have been deepIy saddened by the reported loss of lives & wish to call on the police to exercise caution and restraint in dealing with protesters. I also call on our youth to eschew violence as they demand reforms, Sadiya Umar Farouq said.
