Garri don overswell now. At least, e go last reach December. @Hungerbad I swear

1. Is there any confirmento incontrovertablia to support this screenshot of a portion of a printout?

Answer: Yes

2. Assuming this sensational headline is true, specifically who carried out the massacre?

Answer is down in the conclusion portion of the report.

3. On who’s order(s) was this order executed

4. Did this order require any other approval from any other ranking uniformed or civilian of officer of government?

5. If yes to (4), was this approval sought? and

6. Was this approval from (4) received?

7. Amongst the most individuals listed from nos. (2 - 6) is there any immunity clause applicable to any of them?

8. If found guilty of any discrepancies, to what length is the state ready to prosecute this case?

Please, lets endeavour to read from page 281 to 309 of the report. It might cause serious distress as I personally shed tears uncontrollably. It will be hard but lets just read as it’s a duty we owe the murdered.

In our next class, we shall be addressing the following:

“Why is there no mention of who it was that ordered the DPO of Maroko Police Station and the 2 Abi na 3 sef, Army officers that led officers to massacre unarmed Nigerians at Lekki Toll Gate?”

I will ask this in our next class because, the army and the police will not leave whatever it was that they were doing prior to goan start shooting at unarmed folks when thieves were (and had been at it for some days on end at the time) looting my shop embarassed cry embarassed at Adeniran Ogunsanya Shopping mall, Surulere amongst others across the state. I’ll try to not ask who it was that came up with the idea of blaming the massacred folk for committing this looting. Maybe it’s pure conjecture or propaganda.

One final thing, let us not forget to appreciate the government (both state and federal) and the panel members and all other stakeholders for the sacrifices they must have made to make this most daring but absolutely important process a success.

Please read up or else!

You are worse than an infidel, you guys said no shooting, the panel investigated and confirmed that there was indeed killings, you now turned around and said the names should be provided, the panel have provided the names... Now you are asking if stick or bullet or stone killed them!!, my friend, you are one of the problems we have in Nigeria, may you experience X2 what those innocent souls experienced forever and ever.

What are the names of those who died? What did they die of? Military ammunition , local Dane gun or crowd stampede? The report does not provide these answers. We should base our information on facts, evidence and not emotion / bias.

ENIGMATIC2023:
10. WHETHER THERE WAS A MASSACRE AT THE LEKKI TOLL GATE ON
OCTOBER 20TH 2020?

A. The atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters,
while sitting on the floor and waving their Nigerian flags, while singing the National
Anthem can be equated to a ‘massacre’ in context.
“A massacre has been defined as the killing of multiple individuals, which is
considered to be morally unacceptable especially when perpetrated by political
actors against defenseless victims.”—Wikipedia
B. The Panel considered whether what took place at the Lekki Toll Gate on the 20th
October, 2020 was a MASSACRE. According to the learned authors of MerriamWebster Online Dictionary, one of the meanings of MASSACRE is ‘the act or instance
of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances
of atrocity or cruelty.’
C. Against the above ‘contextual’ definitions, the Panel considered the following evidence
before it:
1. The EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate were defenseless members of the
civil populace, youth and young adults;
2.
Both the Lagos State Government and indeed the Federal Government
were well aware of their status, objectives and the nature of their
protest;
3.
The presence of protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate did not threaten the
territorial integrity of Nigeria and could not be considered as a civil
insurrection to warrant the intervention of the Nigerian Army;
4. Some top officials of the Lagos State Government met with the youths at
the Lekki Toll Gate around 12-1pm of October 20, 2020, seeking
selected representatives to discuss an urgent matter with them with a
view to persuading them to leave the Lekki Toll Gate;

5.
Officers and soldiers of 65 Batallion of the Nigerian Army, led by Lt. Col
Bello, left their base with blank and live ammunitions to confront and
disperse youths holding only their national flags, with live bullets;
6.
The soldiers actually shot blank and live bullets directly and pointedly
into the midst of the protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate, with the
deliberate intention to assault, maim and kill;
7.
The soldiers turned back ambulances that were invited to render first
aid and assistance to the wounded protesters;
Uncontroverted Evidence
8. The Panel finds that the Nigerian Army had exited the Panel at the time of
the testimony of the EndSARS protesters so that their testimonies and
evidence were largely uncontroverted through contrary evidence from
those accused of shooting, especially the Nigerian Army. The only witness
of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier-General Taiwo admitted that he was not
personally present at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.
9.
The Panel finds that the cross-examinations of the EndSARS protesters by
the Lagos State Government, Lekki Concession Company and the Nigeria
Police Force did not impeach the direct evidence of the eye witnesses,
whereas the evidence of the Lagos State Government, the Lekki
Concession Company and the Police came from witnesses who stated that
they were not at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.
Evidence Of Coverup
10. It was alleged and corroborated that the soldiers had their vans parked at
the Lekki Toll Gate and removed as many bodies and corpses of the fallen
protesters which they took away with their vans. One of the protesters who
was shot and taken for dead, Olalekan Sanusi, who eventually escaped to
narrate his ordeal and experience stated that 11 corpses were in the van,
where he was placed in and presumed dead. Miss Dabira Ayuku also
corroborated the above by stating that she saw about 7 dead bodies placed
in one of the military trucks at the Lekki Toll Gate on the night of 20th
October, 2020

11.
It was alleged and corroborated that soldiers picked bullet shells on the
night of October 20 and policemen followed up in the morning of
October 21 to pick bullet shells.
12.
Several unidentified bodies were removed by security agencies and
LASEHMU (Lagos State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit) and
deposited at various hospital mortuaries in Lagos State.
13.
Three (3) trucks with brushes underneath were brought to the Lekki Toll
Gate in the morning of October 21st October, 2020 to clean up the
scene of bloodstains and other evidence.
14.
There was abundant evidence before the Panel that the Lagos State
Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) indicated in its Twitter handle
that it had effectively cleaned up the Lekki Toll Gate scene immediately
after the incident of October 20, 2020.
15.
The denial of ambulances by the soldiers, which could have assisted in
the prompt and effective treatment of injured protesters, was cruel and
inhuman and it contributed immensely to the large number of deaths
and casualties on the part of the protesters, especially those from the
Lekki Toll Gate.
16.
The Panel finds the cases of death or injured protesters as credible and
uncontroverted.
17.
The Panel finds that most EndSARS protesters and victims of the Lekki
Toll Gate Incident of October 20, 2020 were largely unwilling to be
identified in public for fear of persecution or harassment by the security
agencies and the government generally. Immediately after the protest,
there was palpable fear that the Army and Police were visiting hospitals
to ‘finish up’ the protesters to the extent that some of them could not
return home immediately. Some of the protesters received threats and
some were being trailed by unknown persons.

May everyone involved in this massacre and atrocities know no peace nor his/her generations to come. May those who denied it or tried to cover it never have listening ears at their time of predicaments and May sorrow overwhelm them and theirs like the breath they take!

According to the following excerpt from the report of the Lagos #EndSARS Judicial panel, the Lekki Shooting of October, 20, 2020 was a massacre.




AMONG THE NAMES OF SUPPOSED LEKKI TOLL GATE CASUALTIES. HERE IS ONE-

The young man who granted Punch newspaper an interview on the 'killing' of his 'brother' at Lekki Toll Gate is listed by Lagos State government as 'DECEASED' in Number 46.

Also, a painstaking search on the Facebook revealed majority of those listed as casualties have no profiles to their names.


Presumed Dead?

No sunname ?
No relatives?
No friend?
No address?
Which hospital treat them before confirming them dead?

Presume dead??


These people spent lagos money enjoying themselves in hotel without investigating every names mentioned

The heartless zombified brainless people that said there was no massacre should burry their faces in shame.

In a sane clime, the moderator who was among those that claimed nobody died should be suspended indefinitely.

How a sane person would believe that the always trigger happy Nigeria soldier will go to such a place as Lekki Toll Gate that day and not shoot anyone is shocking.

Like, these are people we know. We have heard things they do. We have seen them do things.



There are few reason people join the military.

For some, it's a family trade.
For some, it's because of their joblessness.
For some it's because they love to serve.
For some, they just need legal means to kill people.
Many Nigeria soldiers are in the last category.

So anyone who tells you that our military men will go to Lekki and not kill anyone also fall in the last group even though he/she is not serving yet.

They're all bloodsucking demons.
Helinues kept preaching like he was paid to,that nobody was killed..he kept preaching every day.

Who's that mod?

Dont get me wrong.

Seun should modify the topic of the thread cos nothing in the report he showed up there suggests that the report specifically called it a massacre. Leave emotions out of this. i am not saying there was no massacre.

The Panel phrased it in such a way that it was not expressly called a massacre but they tried to dance around it. That is still unfair



The essence of the panel was to establish if there was truly "a massacre" which happens to be the bone of contention .... finally the report out, and it as being established unarmed citizens were killed, with the level of your education do you need the panel or liein mohammed to call it "massacre before you know what massacre is, what happens to discretion and whoever think otherwise should pls re-define massacre.
