The incident had generated an uproar, within and outside the country.
In a tweet on Tuesday night, Clinton lent her voice in support of those who had condemned the action of the soldiers.
I’m calling on @mbuhari and the @hqnigerianarmy to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters,” she tweeted.
There are reports that some of the protesters died in the incident but we cannot independently verify this claim.
