They could have used hot water, tear gas, rubber pellets, blanks, riot shields, even flash bangs… but let it be known our military went straight to live ammunition against peaceful protesters whose only defence was the Nigerian Flag. Let it be know. Today Oct, 20, 2020 Lekki/VI.
Guys do you know how crazy it is? These guys ignored our requests. But they had time to plan this Massacre! From the power outage, to the removal of CCTV from the toll, to the impromptu declaration of the curfew? We think they're incompetent? No, they're wicked! #EndSARS 💔💔💔

#Nigeria military shooting #EndSARS protesters in Lekki — one of few thriving hubs for middle class — signals the government not only doesn’t care for “middle class” democratic and economic aspirations/struggles but actively sees them as a threat
I’m a BBC journalist in #lagos please reach out if you witnessed or have video of this evening’s shooting in #Lekkitollgate at #EndSARS protests. Please follow and DM me. #lekki#Nigeria
Dear 2023
Nigerian government under Buhari @MBuhari and Osinbajo @ProfOsinbajo set soldiers to shoot at peaceful protesters at Lekki toll gate.
We might not be around but we want those around then to not forget.
