I just called the UN. They said they have issued a statement and a council will sit tomorrow over the issues. Call if you can too. +1- (212) - 963 - 1234
Somebody must stand trial for this. I don't care how long it takes. Someone must be held accountable. If not by domestic criminal law, then by international criminal law. This bloody impunity has to end with our generation. #EndSARS#LekkiMassacre
Nigerian Army has now officially denied any involvement in the killings via their twitter handle.
The next move is for Buhari, Sanwo, FG and Lagos to all issue denials, declare the setting up of panels/probes into it, and say they are “shocked”.
Nigeria is a predictable movie.
No current political office holder should return in 2023. NONE! If you are an elected officer (whatever party) and you witnessed tonight's #genocide on peaceful young protesters in #Lekki & you don't turn in your resignation in solidarity, just make sure you don't plan on 2023.
Your Excellency @jidesanwoolu could you please declare lawyers as essential workers in Lagos state. For the constitutional rights of Lagosians to be upheld at this time, arrested persons require access to lawyers. As it stands, lawyers are unable to move during curfew.

One thing I’m realizing over & over again is that many missing persons in Nigeria are just languishing in Nigerian prisons. Their families do not know where they are.
Prison reformation is something that needs to be done like yesterday #ENDYOUTHPROFILING
They are shooting at Lekki Toll gate!!! The curfew started at 4:00pm!! Some people have gone home but some others could not go back to their respective houses again because of the impromptu announcement!! It’s a sit in!! Why are they shooting??? Why???? @jidesanwoolu#EndSARS
I have a motion to that effect. Voters registration should be a continuous exercise and not the fire brigade approach 3 months to elections that disenfranchises people. However, the House does not have the power to ORDER them. We can urge them. We can also investigate them.
I like alcohol but I do not support serving alcohol at any protests. Asides all the other obvious reasons, if you get arrested and you’ve been drinking at a protest, things become a little tricker in getting you legal aid. #EndSARS
