BREAKING: Lagos #ENDSARS Panel Admits There Was A Massacre At Lekki Tollgate by Nemere2020: 8:08pm On Nov 15, 2021
The Lagos State Panel on Restitution for Victims of SARS-Related Abuses and Other Matters has admitted that there was a massacre at Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020.

In a 309-page report submitted to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, on Monday, the panel said soldiers shot live ammunition at armless protesters with the intention to kill and maim them.

“The soldiers actually shot blank and live bullets directly and pointedly into the midst of the protesters at the Lekki Tollgate, with the deliberate to assault, maim and kill,” the statement partly reads.

“The soldiers turned back ambulances that were invited to render first aid and assistance to the wounded protesters.”

According to the report, the action of the soldiers agrees with the Merriam Webster’s definition of ‘massacre’ as “the act or an instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty”.

The panel then listed 48 people who either died or sustained injuries as a result of the shooting.

The report corroborates an investigation published by FIJ in January, which revealed that at least 20 people died in the aftermath of the October 2020 shooting of youths protesting police brutality.

RIP to those that lost their lives and I wish good health to those that were injured.
The Lagos government and the Federal government as a whole should be ashamed of themselves for trying to cover up these atrocities and other atrocities perpetrated in Nigeria. The FG should apologize and compensate every individual that got affected in one way or the other. ALL the soldiers that perpetrated these evil acts should also be arrested and be made to face the law.
To those that doubted and even made fun of the protesters, I hope you realize that those protesters risked their freedom and lives for you to enjoy some ounce of freedom you have today? Some were beaten, imprisoned and some even laid down their lives for you to enjoy part of the freedom you have now.
