Outrage has sparked online after the death of a Nigerian activist, Toyin Salau in the United States.

Toyin was an active Black Lives protester before her shocking death.

While reacting to Floyd’s death, she had tweeted, “Silence is the best weapon for some but not for me I will not be silenced,”.

The 19-year-old from Tallahassee, Florida was declared missing after tweeting that a man who offered her a ride to church had molested her.

Hours before she went missing, Toyin had revealed in a series of tweets about how she was sexually molested by a black man.
