REVEALED: Nigerian Soldiers Involved In Lekki Massacre Took Eight Bodies To Bonny Camp Clinic
The soldiers had on Tuesday night opened fire on the protesters, killing and injuring many of them.

State governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu, that he knew nothing about the killing and maiming of peaceful EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of the state by personnel of the Nigerian Army, soldiers involved in the operation have now confirmed that they were actually drafted in for the mission on the request of the governor.
many of them.


The army personnel also prevented ambulances from accessing the scene to evacuate those injured to the hospital after opening fire on them.

The soldiers also seized and carried away eight corpses of protesters killed at the scene.

The incident triggered widespread violence across Lagos and other parts of the country, leading to the destruction of public properties.

Shortly after the governor declared a round-the-clock curfew in the state that fateful Tuesday, some persons were captured on camera dismantling the CCTV attached to the toll gate, one of the main convergence points for young Nigerians demanding an end to police brutality and state repression.

Bosch, the company that made the CCTV, confirmed the removal from the toll gate.

Most of the street lighting around the area were suddenly turned off as soon as it was night

Minutes later, the heavily armed soldiers moved into the scene to complete the plan.

By the time sounds of their guns died down, dozens of protesters had been killed.

Though Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu blamed ‘forces beyond our control’ for the attack, while insisting that he had no authority over military engagements, the soldiers involved in the heinous mission have now exposed the truth.

The soldiers, who were deployed from 65 Battalion, Bonny Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos, told some of the victims’ relatives after dumping them at MRS Hospital that they were sent by Governor Sanwo-Olu.

“They came in two Hilux vans with atleast eight bodies. Some were still alive when they returned. They dumped them at MRS Hospital. They told us clearly that it was Governor Sanwo-Olu that sent them,” a brother to one of the victims, told SaharaReporters.

It was, however, gathered that against widespread belief by members of the public, Brigadier-General Francis Omata didn’t command the soldiers nor was there when shots were fired.

He was said to be at home when the shooting occurred and was shocked when people started calling him that soldiers were at the toll gate attacking protesters.

After rushing to the scene and identifying himself, Omata was able to pull back the soldiers.

It was then he discovered that they were from there 65 Battalion, Bonny Camp, which is headed by Lt Col S. O. Bello.

Killing unarmed civilians... Those soldiers have no shame

There are many good soldiers who know the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT; they will blatantly disobey orders and rather be taken to martial court to defend themselves.

Its unfortunate that blood thirsty trigger happy soldiers were d ones close by.

Evil men will always give evil orders, but as a soldier u should have sense to know what kind of orders you follow even if it costs you your life

...and that is how the devil played the governor into killing her citizens.
Indeed Jimmy was right after all; he needs to be readmitted back.
APC has just lost Lagos.

Sanwo-kpòsí failed. It had to be him who allowed those soldiers to act. Edo state was more intense as at that time but no one was drafted in to shoot them, that rules out the FG.
BTW, where colonel S. O. Bello ?

When will our polithiefian lie end. Pocket of lies everywhere:

**** Since time immemorial, it's always unknown soldiers
**** No one was killed at lekki toll gate
**** The original staff of office of the Oba of Lagos is not stolen but intact
**** The camera at lekki toll gate was not remove
**** The camera was planted at lekki till gate according to our newly certified forensic detective Fashola.

The Oba should hire our new detective to urgently reveal the whereabout of the made in china staff of office.

Until we learn to say the truth nothing will change.
