On Saturday, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen offered support to protesters against police brutality in Nigeria after he scored his first Serie A goal of the season in Napoli’s 4-1 thumping of Atalanta on Saturday.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Lagos, Oyo, Abuja, and other states in the country over the past week to protest against police brutality.

Osimhen, who had fired blanks in his first two league games, scored in the 43rd minute after a brace from Hirving Lozano and a strike from Matteo Politano to put Napoli into a four-goal lead before the break.

After scoring the goal, Osimhen held up a shirt with the inscription “#End Police Brutality in Nigeria” to celebrate his goal.

The 21-year-old also tweeted after the game, “Having accomplished all I thought was impossible for me through GOD, now I know better, time for some limitless goals and desire. GOD is the greatest. We move.”
