Crotone striker Simeon Nwankwo has shown solidarity with the #EndSARS movement seeking an end to police brutality in Nigeria and comprehensive police reforms.
The 28-year-old striker after scoring against Juventus celebrated by a raising a T-shirt to show his support for an end to police brutality in Nigeria.
Simy’s goal came 11 minutes into the first half after beating Gianluigi Buffon from the penalty spot as Leonardo Bonucci was adjudged to have fouled Arkadiusz Reca inside the penalty area.
Though that goal was not enough to give Crotone the victory they might have dreamt off against the defending champions, it was enough to get them their first point since gaining promotion to Serie A from Serie B.
