The Lagos State Panel on Restitution for Victims of SARS-Related Abuses and Other Matters has said that the October 2020 #EndSARS protest at the Lekki Tollgate was not hijacked by hoodlums as speculated in some corners, but ruined by soldiers.

According to the panel, the protest was “very peaceful on all the days, including the 20th of October”.

“In trying to justify the deployment of the army, its principal witness before the panel, Brigadier-General Taiwo, stated that once a protest goes past 2-3 days, it will be hijacked by hoodlums. The panel finds that this proposition was not substantiated. The EndSARS protest at Lekki Tollgate, in particular, was peaceful and orderly and was not hijacked by hoodlums,” the report reads.

“The Panel finds that the mayhem and violence recorded in other parts of Lagos State did not happen at the Lekki Tollgate, so there was no need for any apprehension on the part of the government or the security agencies to seek to dispel that peaceful assembly, with soldiers bearing lethal weapons.”

“The deployment of the Army to Lekki Tollgate on 20/10/2020, in the absence of any reported violence, was totally unwarranted.”

In a 309-page report submitted to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, on Monday, the panel admitted that soldiers shot blank and live ammunition at armless protesters with the intention to kill and maim them.

Guess we’ve all see the Yoruba propaganda I’ve always call out..
blackmailing igbos on top military killing.. with their fellow Yoruba urchins looting carelessly.

So finally no be Kanu instigate .. and no be say igbos wan burn Lagos.

But Yoruba people were busy shouting hoax and blackmailing their superiors.. that’s real hatred

Today instead of celebrating DJ SWITCH... Na mr macaroni Dey front page ..

I salute DJ switch for telling the world what happened in lekki that very night..

Yoruba called her igbo lady chasing igbos agenda of destroying Lagos

Many igbos don’t know their real enemies.. they keep looking North.. while the real enemy keep hiding their hate and violence behind propaganda blackmail and their stupidity

Nosayer:


Please keep quiet sir.....kindly keep your mouth shut.


Death did not distinguish between the Igbos, Yorubas and other tribes that were killed at the Tollgate. Those dead folks are part of Nigeria's future which every tribe shares from.


Right now is not the time to talk about Kanu or any other person. It's the time to face the leaders of Nigeria who see Nigerians as their slaves.


Except your writeup is targeted at Nigerian leaders, you really should shut up.
