Super Eagles striker, Victor Moses has dedicated his first goal for his new club, Spartak Moscow, to Nigeria amid the unrest in the country.

The 29-year-old who joined the Russian outfit on loan from Chelsea after a stint with Inter joined a number of footballing stars to lend a voice to the #EndSARS protest against police brutality in his home country.

Moses, after getting on the scoresheet during Spartak’s 3-1 victory over Krasnodar on Saturday, took to his official Twitter account condemn the alleged killing of protesters in Lagos.

Recall that soldiers attacked #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on Tuesday night, with reports claiming that about 15 persons were killed in the process.

Whilst there were no bodies found, the Army has denied involvement in the attack, claiming the video was doctored.

However, the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, did not deny the presence of the military at the scene but stated no one died as a result of the attack, adding that powers beyond his forces were responsible.

Speaking on the issue, Moses said that no Nigerian deserves to be killed exercising his/her basic rights to protest.

“Brilliant win today and delighted to get my first goal for the club. I dedicate my goal today to the people of Nigeria. Enough is enough. Nigerians have the right to protest and not be killed for it. #PrayForNigeria”

 

Moses has now made two appearances for Spartak Moscow since he completed his loan move to the side from Chelsea.
