Nigeria has been thrown into national protest as youths across the nation have daily taken to streets to protest and demand an end to incessant, unprovoked, brutal killing of young people of the country by the SARS

Nigerians consequently took to streets demanding an end to the dreaded SARS with the protest gaining continental and global support.

Former Chelsea striker and a great legend of the club, Didier Drogba has come out to lend his own support to the #ENDSARSNOW protest.

Drogba who played against Nigeria with Ivory Coast in several international matches and made friends with some of the Super Eagles players voiced his support in his twitter handle earlier on Wednesday morning.
