Super Eagles and Napoli forward, Victor Osihmen has joined the growing number of youths protesting against police brutality in Nigeria.

The forward was on target for Italian outfit Napoli when they hosted Atalanta in a Seria A game on Saturday. He scored in the 30th minute and used the opportunity to brandish a white shirt with the now popular “#EndPoliceBrutality” hashtag.

The match would later end 4-1 in favor of Napoli who are now fourth on the table after four league matches.

Napoli coach  Gennario Gattuso had nice words to say about the Nigerian forward who joined his side at the beginning of the season from French side Lille.

“Osihmen is a player who is giving us many game solutions. The way he moves scares teams against us. I’m happy for the goal.”
