But not everyone is impressed with her bravery, especially members of the LGBTQ community and allies.

As Nigerians on Twitter retweeted Aisha Yesufu's iconic photo and praised her, gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi dug up old posts where the social activist was being homophobic.

Resharing Aisha's tweet, Bisi Alimi wrote: "To many Aisha Yesufu is a hero! I understand that, but to me and people like me, she is nothing but a raging homophobes who is developing strategy to eradicate homosexuals in the north.

"Yes #EndSARS but I will not join in hero worshiping Aisha."
