On October 2020, Nigerian soldiers opened fire on unarmed protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos, Nigeria.

From about 6:40 pm, the sound of gunfire rented the air as troops on foot – with vehicles moving slowly behind – marched from Sandfill Bus Stop inward the toll barrier.

Recordings captured the movement, simultaneous firing, and cries of citizens who in darkness chanted the national anthem and waving mostly miniature Nigerian flags.

But the Nigerian Army has denied that it used force that Tuesday night. The Defence Headquarters labeled videos posted on social media photoshopped.

This is despite discoveries of bullets and spent casings. Some collections have been displayed by DJ Switch whose Instagram live broadcast from the scene hit over 160,000 views.

The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) has stated that images and footages showing the charge by military personnel are not fake.

Within 24 hours, America was silent amid global outrage. It was usual for a country with a strong foreign policy. The State Department reacted on October 22, two days after the incident.

The United States thoroughly studied the shooting of End SARS protestors before issuing a reaction on the vicious attack.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denounced the episode and called for the prosecution of officers and men involved in the shooting.
