Autopsy reports of 99 persons reportedly killed in Lagos during last year’s #EndSARS protests were Saturday admitted as evidence by the state’s judicial panel of inquiry.

The panel chaired by Doris Okuwobi also admitted compact discs of all the 99 bodies deposited at the morgues in the state, during the protests.

“I want to prove to this panel that the claim that only three dead bodies were brought in from Lekki is not true,” Mr Olumide-Fusika said.

Autopsy reports
During his testimony in June, Mr Obafunwa, a professor of Medicine, and the Head of the Department of Morbid Anatomy at the Lagos University College of Medicine, said at least 99 persons were killed during the #EndSARS protests.

He added that three persons were killed in Lekki when soldiers opened fire on unarmed protesters at the toll plaza on October 20, 2020.

The remaining bodies were received from other parts of the state including Surulere, Ikorodu, Ajah, Fagba, among others, Mr Obafunwa said.

Lekki shooting
At about 6:45 p.m. on October 20, men in military uniform arrived at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos in three Toyota Hilux vans and almost immediately began shooting into a crowd of peaceful protesters gathered there waving the Nigerian green-and-white flag and reciting the national anthem.

The army which initially denied shooting at the protesters, later admitted that its men carried live bullets that night but only to tackle armed hoodlums who had hijacked the protests.

Ahmed Taiwo, Commander of the 81 Division, Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, told the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry into the Lekki Tollgate incident then that the army went to the tollgate “with both blank and live ammunition"

The official also fell short of saying his men fired live shots at Nigerians on their way “to clear the Lekki, Eti-Osa corridor

Most of the panels are concluding their work which are expected to be submitted to the federal government.

Terrorists are given amnesty, reinstated to better places, revered and honoured.


Protesters are roasted by the groundnuts from ’47s.

A country where youths yearn to “escape” from where they call home.


A country where the same set of people have been ruiling us since inception, only to remember you electorates after four years when they are about to be recycled. That moment, they fill your hands with a single ₦1000 note and it turns to a million in your eyes; blinded by the note, you commit all sorts of atrocities.



You feel the godfatherism makes you Jehovah.

You killed without recourse to.

You torment for a living.


They hire you and hail you for gallantry. Gallantry? None of their children needs gallantry, is that what it means?


You carry woofers and sing their party songs! They buy your destinies with few nairas, yet embezzle what a hundred of your lineage cannot finish in a millennial generation, even if you have to reincarnate into a tank several times.

You become partisan because of the bribe aroma of the legal tender you receive...you don't mind killing your brother.

Where is your peace?

You enjoy the tears of your neighbor yet pray for peace and long life.

You mock Jah

We swim in such foolery because we have no conscience yet we pray for peace and security.


Where is our pride!


Where is the human in us!

Why have we become beasts of no nations making things fall apart even amid we the poor who have our lifelines no longer at ease?


Such Joy of Humanhood.

O mothers of Nigeria? How do you feel to procreate into this den with no Daniels?

I will wipe my tears and assure myself one thing:


Human government can never give you peace.


Human government was dead on arrival.

Man's government has failed!


It has proven we cannot rule ourselves!


How can the imperfect rule the imperfect?

Would it create a good nation?

Oh yes, only imagiNATION.

Lagos #EndSARS panel admits autopsy reports of ’99 persons killed during protests’

---The panel admits compact discs of all the 99 bodies deposited at the morgues in the state, between October 20 and 27, 2020.

By Oluwakemi Adelagun July 10, 2021

Autopsy reports of 99 persons reportedly killed in Lagos during last year’s #EndSARS protests were Saturday admitted in evidence by the state’s judicial panel of inquiry.

The panel chaired by Doris Okuwobi also admitted compact discs of all the 99 bodies deposited at the morgues in the state, between October 20 and 27, 2020.

The Chief Pathologist of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), John Obafunwa, who testified before the panel submitted the reports following an order on June 5 for the post mortem results of all the 99 corpses to be made available.

The documents were contained in two bags.

During the cross-examination, Olumide Olumide-Fusika, legal counsel to some of the protesters, noted that Mr Obafunwa disclosed that the bodies were recovered from different parts of Lagos at the time.

“I want to prove to this panel that the claim that only three dead bodies were brought in from Lekki is not true,” Mr Olumide-Fusika said.

Autopsy reports

During his testimony in June, Mr Obafunwa, a professor of Medicine, and the Head of the Department of Morbid Anatomy at the Lagos University College of Medicine, said at least 99 persons were killed during the #EndSARS protests.

He added that three persons were killed in Lekki when soldiers opened fire on unarmed protesters at the toll plaza on October 20, 2020.

The remaining bodies were received from other parts of the state including Surulere, Ikorodu, Ajah, Fagba, among others, Mr Obafunwa said.

Mrs Okuwobi adjourned the matter until July 13.

There has been a controversy around the casualty figures of the Lekki tollgate shooting since the incident occurred last year.

Lekki shooting

At about 6:45 p.m. on October 20, men in military uniform arrived at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos in three Toyota Hilux vans and almost immediately began shooting into a crowd of peaceful protesters gathered there waving the Nigerian green-and-white flag and reciting the national anthem.

The protesters, mostly youth, were protesting police brutality and asking for reforms in governance.

The army which initially denied shooting at the protesters, later admitted that its men carried live bullets that night but only to tackle armed hoodlums who had hijacked the protests.

Ahmed Taiwo, Commander of the 81 Division, Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, told the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry into the Lekki Tollgate incident then that the army went to the tollgate “with both blank and live ammunition”.

The official also fell short of saying his men fired live shots at Nigerians on their way “to clear the Lekki, Eti-Osa corridor”.

After the incident and the outcry it generated, the federal government disbanded the notorious SARS unit known for human rights abuses and asked states to set up panels of enquiry into cases of human rights abuses by the police.

Most of the panels are concluding their work which are expected to be submitted to the federal government.

The headline is misleading.

There were 99 bodies from 4 days of violence spread across the state. The Chief Pathologist who submitted his report said only 3 out of the 99 bodies were from Lekki and that out of the 3, only one had bullet wounds.

So some people at the panel challenged his claim that only 3 were from Lekki and he was then asked to produce the full autopsy reports of all 99 bodies for further examination.

So in the article that was posted by the OP, a lawyer representing the protesters is telling the panel after receiving the autopsy reports that he would prove that more than 3 were from Lekki. And notice the pathologist never said they were from Lekki Toll Gate.

I know people are eager to prove that people died at the toll gate but the OP is jumping the gun here with his headline. Nobody has confirmed any 99 bodies from Lekki Toll Gate “massacre”.

Most of the panels are concluding their work which are expected to be submitted to the federal government.

This is trying to obfuscate the report and evidence on ground. There is no dispute that people got killed round the state during endsars protest from various causes including hoodlums attack, robbery, traffic accident, lynching of policemen, shootout between hoodlums and policemen etc.

The contention remains the shooting of protesters at Lekki toll gate by soldiers with one DJ switch saying she personally carried 15 bodies, 38 claimed by CNN or 78 claimed by alleged eye witness. All these appears phantom and unproven
Let's even say

Even if 99 chickens or dogs get killed, there will be far more evidence than what you folks have provided for your Lekki lies massacre

I still maintained that Nigerian government and its security agencies gruesomely killed its citizens and desperate attempts have been ongoing to cover up but we all have a supreme God all of us will be answerable to on the day of judgement.

Multiple documentaries (including the army 's disjointed and incongruent testimonies @ the #EndSARS panel of inquiry) have chronicled the dastardly role played by the Nigerian army(that said it was not trained to expose BH sponsors or fight same) in these killings including the gruesome incident on 20-10-2020 @ Lekki Tollplaza.

As for all the BMC, mummified zombie supporters of this accursed government, you will all have a taste of the pudding before you exit this earth since a fat slavery is better than lean liberty and choose to be a wellfed slave than a hungry free man.Karma is a bitch

No amount of emotional outbursts can wish a massacre into being. The panel of enquiry has been sitting for months and have heard testimonies from so many people. Up till now, there is nothing that points to a massacre at the Lekki Toll Gate.
