17 Months After #endsars Shooting, Lagos Govt Resumes Lekki Toll Collection by Mazulu: 12:36pm On Mar 14, 2022
The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has announced that toll collection will resume at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge on April 1, 2022.

Toll collection at the bridge was stopped as young people protested decades of police brutality, profiling, extortion and extra-judicial killings under the #EndSARS banner.

Hoodlums hijacked the protests nationwide, afterwards.

On October 20, 2022, armed soldiers and police officers stormed the Lekki, Lagos venue of the protests and fired live rounds into a crowd of young, armless protesters.

A judicial panel of inquiry set-up by the Lagos State government to investigate the Lekki toll shootings submitted a report that indicted the government, the army and the police, in November of 2021.

The panel also established that police officers from the nearby Maroko Police Station were drafted to the Lekki tollgate to enforce a hurriedly declared curfew and to forcibly disperse the protesters.

The panel also submitted that “there was an attempt to cover up the incident of the 20th of October by the cleaning of the Lekki tollgate and the failure to preserve the scene ahead of the potential investigations.”

#EndSARS activists have been resisting the re-commencement of tolling operations at both bridges (Lekki-Epe toll and Lekki-Ikoyi toll), with a 2021 #EndSARS memorial protest warning against any such moves.

However, fliers are currently being distributed at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, informing motorists that “cashless toll collection will commence at Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge on 1st April 2022.”

The flier also enumerates how to register for a free e-tag sticker in “5 simple steps.”

In its 309-page report submitted to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on November 15, 2021, the panel recommended that the Lekki Toll Plaza be made a memorial site for ENDSARS Protest: By renaming to “ENDSARS TOLLGATE.

“The panel recommends that October 20th of every year, is made a “Toll Free Day” at the Lekki Toll Gate as long as the tollgate exists.

“That Oct 20th of every year be made EndSARS day nationally for the remembrance of our falling youth.

“That for the purpose of restitution, healing and reconciliation, the federal government needs to publicly apologise to the youth for abruptly undermining the protest with their state actors.”

The panel reports that at least 11 people were killed on the night, with at least 24 others sustaining gunshot wounds.

Unofficial accounts say the death toll was much higher.

As usual, Meth youth will always blame Tinubu, I don’t know when Tinubu became the commander in chief to summon the military.

Lekki event is over 17month now and we have no one to come out to tell us about their family that fell at Lekki. #LekkiLies!

But the useless butcher called Obi Pandora personally supervised the massacre youths in Anambla with proven dead but yet he still walk free to this day.

Shinedu, you better go back to your village in Biafla to mourn the Awkusu victims.

I doubt most people will have an issue with them opening this one

But the one on the lekki Epe expressway is the one most people are against them opening.

Pls make sure you are there to deploy it. This time, the enemy if the state will be shot at close range and there won't be any survivors. Lagos will not fall to ipob miscreants.

Princeoflagos how far with your Anambra Asuzu River Massacre Judicial Panel has the report been submitted yet because we are still looking for it



Lekki was a Political Scam engineered by those who failed to win Lagos Elections
Fayose has let the Cat out of the bag and revealed that it was all a gang up against Lagos and Tinubu which he refused to join


No bodies
No relations
No funerals
No Obituaries
No Verifiable identities
Only 1 Confirmed death from a shotgun which was neither a Police or Military Weapon

Lekki Massacre was a Scam used as an excuse to attempt to burn down and destroy Lagos by it's enemies

One non entity even went on Radio demanding for every Govt Building ,Dangote Refinery Muritala Mohammed Airport , Nigeria Ports Authority and all Yoruba assets to be burnt down by his thugs in Lagos but God disgraced them all and he is now in Jail and sending his elders to beg

As if his life is more important than those his thugs Murdered and ate with Egusi Soup and Akpu

People including 2 Traditional Rulers were Murdered,butchered,roasted and used to cook Egusi Soup which the criminals ate with Akpu

Did they protest against this Outrage and Abomination ?

The fake Lekki Massacre Crowd were all missing in action every single one of them !

Even the Pictures of roasted Human Heads,legs and Arms hanging from the Ceiling like smoked meat failed to move them to action
