Nigerians, on Twitter, are currently using the hashtag #JusticeForTina to demand for the arrest of the police officer involved in the killing of Tina.

GWG gathered the following tweets:

We all need to demand #JusticeForTina

All she did was stand at a popular junction and she was shot by a Nigerian Policeman

It could be anyone of us, and we will not stop until we have a reform of the Nigerian Police Force

I don't want to mind my business and still be shot

Tina is someone’s child.

It's not my child.
It's not my sister..
It's not my relative…
So nobody cares!

It's this "It's Not My Mentality" that will be our doom in this country…

Imagine if Tina was the child of a politician…the NPF would be on heat now

Something has to be done!#JusticeForTina

When a child is born, the parents envisions a long and prosperous life for them. Sadly the Nigerian police have sworn to be evil and killers. It’s bullshit. The murderers of tina should be made to face the law this is one death too many. #JusticeForTina pic.twitter.com/cMhpANVT5w

The protection of the community against injustice and the encroachment on right by others against social disturbances is the responsibility of the state through its agency- the police. The brutality and injustice has reached its peak. Time to speak up! #JusticeForTina pic.twitter.com/WjVx452Qo5

This is just heart breaking??.
But honestly things will never change if all we do is Twitter trends . This isn't the first time and sadly won't be the last one.
Maybe a physical protects will send some messages. RIP Tina? #NigerianPoliceMoreDeadlyThanCorona #JusticeForTina pic.twitter.com/FB6aPhZOeY

The most annoying part about trigger happy policemen is the fact that when the time actually comes for them to use their guns on the real criminals like armed robbers, they are nowhere to be found. They’ll flee. It’s always to flex for innocent civilians they know #JusticeForTina

#JusticeForTina
The hope of a future, the dream of a better tomorrow and the fullness of life gone with the wind in the hands of a trigger happy police man. Shame on a system that cannot protect its own. pic.twitter.com/uZe74Vl2m5

Breaking curfew is not a crime punishable by death but you choose to shoot someone for it and ended up killing an innocent girl. We cannot allow this to go unanswered #JusticeForTina

The Police shot and killed a 16 Year old girl Yesterday and no news outlet have reported about this. The black race is now the most endangered race in the world. Being black is now all it takes to get killed.

Aren't @PoliceNG, @rrslagos767 sick of your men killing innocent Nigerians every now and then?

Aren't you tired of covering them up more often than not?

May Tina's killers and whoever covers them up know no peace until justice is served.#JusticeForTina

We not only@m have to deal with police brutality in the West, in our motherland too, we have to deal with it? #JusticeForTina

Is there something about being a policeman and killing unarmed innocent citizens all over the world?

Sad, sad, sad ?

She was 16 years old, she had her whole life ahead of her. Like several others brutally murdered by the Nigerian Police Force, Tina was innocent and didn’t deserve to die. #JusticeForTina pic.twitter.com/4ehnKGPFWP
