The attacks, shooting, and killing of innocent #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate plaza by security operatives on Tuesday has been condemned by popular Nigerian journalist, Babajide Otitoju.

The shootings which occurred after the Lagos State government had declared curfew as part of measures to curb the escalating violence in the state has continued to attract wide reactions and condemnations.

Nigerian politicians, statesmen, celebrities, individuals, civil society organizations, and even international personalities have all called on the federal government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately order the security operatives to stop attacking the protesters.

Adding his voice to the calls, Mr. Otitoju in a statement on Wednesday via his Twitter account, noted that the attack on #EndSARS protesters is unjustified and has caused shame and shock.

He wrote: “There can be no justification for shedding the blood of protesters. It is a sad day and I am patently shocked and ashamed that this happened in my country.”

Meanwhile, Naija News reports that TVC News station, owned by former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was attacked on Wednesday morning, October 21.

The TV station was set on fire a few hours after peaceful #EndSARS protesters were shot at the Lekki Toll Gate by security operatives

Jobless youths

My heart is broken

I am more ashamed of being a Nigerian, nothing to be proud of in our government.

So shameful

I'm so sad and hearthbroken

There can never be any justification for that barbaric act. It was a crime against God and humanity.

So saddening quiet all right but your likes were asslicking the government for so long despite all its impunity and lawlessness? To bad!

Such a failed government. This is something that should have been addressed properly without escalating to this level.

Your oga have hand inside

You think igbos are joking when they call Nigeria a zoo?

May the souls of those massacred by buhari's fulani regime rest in peace.
United, we Middle Belters and Southerners stand! Together we will end buhari's Satanic regime.
#EndNigeria

The number of people who now suddenly know that the shooting of unarmed protesters can never be justified is staggering

I know how many times the killing of unarmed IPOB and innocent Shiites came up on Journalists hangout and this same Jide Otitoju brushed them aside as if it is a normal thing in Nigeria.

Its very unfortunate that it took ENDSARS killing for many Nigerians to finally realise that the shooting of unarmed protesters is never justified, no matter what they are protesting for

The young Man is absolutely on point!
There is no Justification of anykind for such Babaric and Wicked act on Unarmed Citizens carrying out a Harmless Protest..

I saw Pictures of youths shot on the head, knee etc. it sends Chills to the heart..

The Federal Government Failed its Citizens!
The Nigerian Army Failed its People it was Meant to Protect!
LASG Failed its Beloved People!!
Double Shame on you All!

There are Consequences for our Actions and that is what we are seeing today..

Having said this, I Call on the youths to please Sheath their Swords and angers!!
When 2 Elephants Fight, it's the Ground that Suffers!

Destruction of things and Places will not Bring Solutions..

Let's go back to our Peaceful Mode and put heads together , so we can Map out the way Forward..

To Err is Human! To Forgive is Divine...

Please don't be unfortunate oooo. What manner forgiveness are you talking about? After killing innocent people? Buhari's generation yet unborn will never know peace.

My heart is broken

October 20 2020 will forever be remembered by Nigerians who witnessed the barbarism of the army
