Some of you, it’s only Nigeria you can survive. With your level of brainlessness you cannot survive in an intellectual society.

I said show us one dead person who was killed that day you say dem wan arrest more young people.

Please, of what interest would any one have arresting a corpse of 5 years ago? Because for your mind now you don give excuse!!!

Just look at a brainwashed man who doesn't read news but lives on propaganda because his people are in power.

Oya tell us you are wiser than the governor of the state.

Please shift with your quack reasoning.

Mkpi.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope you benefit from the government directly, if not smh for you

Ooodua:
Till today, one single question has not been answered. Whats the name and image of ONE person shot to death that day?

As if you can do without their protection

Nobody was killed at Lekki Toll gate. Stop romanticising a lie.
In this era of social media, even things that happen in bedrooms make it to social media, let alone the massacre of lots of people. No one body, no one family member, no one social media account of a victim.

tamdun:
Till date nobody reported a missing person abi the victims no get family?

May Nigeria happen to you and your family.

ELERIBU

Ooodua:
Sorry sir, kindly furnish us with ONE name and image of ONE person who was actually shot to death on that night. I will personally visit the family and make a donation. Thanks.

Chop belle full first.

tamdun:
And u think the family won't cry out if there was a missing person? We're talking about a massacre here and no one, no single family reported a missing person

How many families cries have you heard in Nigeria since you were born?




Abi people are not missing in Nigeria before the endsars and after?

tamdun:
Till date nobody reported a missing person abi the victims no get family?

Don't mind these moomoos. They should publish in a newspaper the names and pictures of those that were killed as a honor to their memories.

What happened to the UK?

Ajetunmobi Riddwane, said they have evidences of people killed. Till today, Sanwo-Olu never told us the wife of commissioner that called him, they were shooting at toll gate. Nobody can cover these evidences for ever. People around toll gate saw it all.

tamdun:

who are the people sanwolu is burying with how many millions of naira? Where did they get the bodies?

Ooodua:
End sars protest happened in VI. How does it relate with who was shot in tincan?

Do you have short memory or just trying to be mischievous? The protest happened in many area. Alausa Ikj, iyana ipaja, stadium in Surulere etc.

People were shot in Mushin, tejuosho Yaba etc or are you saying there was no killing? did you even read what the op posted.

ogododo:
On the international stage, the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, in July 2024, ruled that Nigeria violated the rights of protesters at Lekki and ordered reparations. This judgment provided legal weight beyond Nigeria’s borders, affirming the claims of survivors and reinforcing the duty of the state to act.

Human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch corroborated the panels’ accounts, insisting that justice must not be sacrificed on the altar of political convenience.

Loud on paper, silent in practice
If inquiries and judgments were steps toward justice, implementation has been the missing bridge. Five years later, progress is selective at best.

Some states paid partial compensation to victims. In Lagos, hundreds of millions were disbursed, but many petitioners still wait. The National Human Rights Commission confirmed that awards were issued in several states, but the mode of disbursement was elusive.

Where panels recommended prosecution, few cases reached trial. Many police officers named in reports remain in service, reassigned or quietly reinstated. Structural reforms promised by government — community policing, training, and accountability boards — have not yielded visible transformation.


International partners, including the United States and United Nations, continue to urge Nigeria to honour its commitments. Yet, the gulf between recommendation and reality persists.

Open wounds
As the fifth anniversary is marked today, certain unresolved issues remain sharp: families of victims killed or missing, especially from Lekki, are still awaiting credible investigations, autopsy reports, and prosecutions.

Many victims awarded damages by panels have not been paid. Few, if any, security officials have faced trial for the killings.

Also, the dissolution of SARS has not delivered systemic change. Complaints of abuse continue under new acronyms. Protest memorials are still met with arrests and intimidation, suggesting civic space remains under siege. Full panel reports remain unpublished in some states, fuelling suspicion of cover-ups. These gaps leave a sense of unfinished business — of promises made but not kept.

Why justice for victims remains elusive — Lawyers


Some lawyers who played active roles during the protests gave insight into why, five years on, justice for victims remains elusive.

Disrespect for court orders, invitation to anarchy — Edun, SAN
Former Welfare Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Kunle Edun, SAN, describes #EndSARS as “a dark page in Nigeria’s history,” symbolising government disregard for human life and the rule of law.

He said: “The courts gave judgments awarding damages to victims, yet the government ignored them. Disrespect for judgments is an invitation to anarchy — not even a million soldiers can stop it.”

Edun accused Attorneys-General and legislators of colluding with governors to disobey court orders, saying, “We only have civilian rule, not democracy.”

He urged courts to enforce compliance with their orders and advocated state policing to end abuse.
“We need people-oriented policing, supervised by civil society and state Attorneys-General. A Police Force that oppresses citizens has no place in a democracy,” he declared.


Justice for victims remains elusive because of institutional cover-ups — Ufeli
The Executive Director of Cadrell Advocacy Centre, Evan Ufeli, stated that accountability for #EndSARS victims will remain elusive due to “weak political will, institutional cover-ups, and fear among witnesses.”

“Panels make findings, but there’s no independent process to translate them into prosecutions,” he explained. He added that the ECOWAS Court’s Lekki ruling remains binding but unenforced because the court lacks coercive powers.

“Enforcement depends on domestic implementation and diplomatic pressure,” he said.

Ufeli argued that sustained civil society pressure and international engagement are vital to compel compliance.

“Legal judgments alone are not enough; without political will and institutional reform, justice will remain on paper,” he warned.

You wan start ba? Tll the Wale Edun you quoted to go and verify what was the mission of #endsars" organisers high I was included?

We told youths to protest across the nation against police brutality before we knew what was going on Knu maliciously send his misguided foot soldier to Lagos to and burn it down.

The questio is what brought Kanu into our plan?

Is Lagos SARS headquarter?

Is Lagos Nigeria capital?

Why can't he tell his slowpoke foot soldiers to burn own imo or Abia nit Lagos?

Was police brutality only in Lagos?

Those Kanu slowpoke foot soldiers that could not make it to Lagos stopped at Benin and coerced Benin youths into burning down things is that what we planned?

Hello a child who say his father house must burn that child must burn with the house. So pls leave talk....

Five years on, #EndSARS remains a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of Nigerian youths. It showed that citizens won’t stay silent in the face of injustice, but it’s also a bitter reminder of how slow justice can be. The Lekki Toll Gate and other scars aren’t just physical, they’re a call for accountability, meaningful reforms, and a society that truly respects human rights. We must keep the memory alive and ensure the sacrifices weren’t in vain.

Daddyyin:
Who are they killing? Terrorists?

until they nack one of ur relatives or close ones u go know say dem no b terrorist 😒

lol don’t think low have foresight what if your child become a uniform personnel I hope you will have such negativity mind towards your child also lol. Wake up small boy thinking..

toogbasky:
And one blogger said we should show sympathy to soldiers for how the federal government treats them. After 20-10-20, I lost sympathy for all uniform men.

PDPdestroyer:
The only massacre without bodies. The one with bodies floating on Ezu river is not worth remembering

This must enter Guinness book of record. Massacre without bodies, How can none of the families of the victim come out after all this years.

Goddyrichie:
ur fada who tell u say I b east boy oloribu

B'ewure ba boju weyin, a f'epe felepe. Along as you're on this earth and breathing the air, you will experience what you wished me.

They caused it for themselves, Nigeria is not a country you'll protest in!! The government will definitely waste citizens and nothing will happen, best way to live in Nigeria is just be on your own don't expect anything from the government and most importantly never fight the government

Daddyyin:

I don’t wish u anything bad why will I did I know u b4 even though I know u why will I wish u bad just that u people will see truth but won’t say it and you’re d first person that curse ire o

You first mentioned my family in the discussion. I was pointing it to you that Nigeria can’t survive without the military. If not for them, stealing and killing will carry no consequences. Why wish someone bad just to prove a point? Even in United States, there are records or police brutality.

Mindlog:
May the souls of those who were killed in the struggle, rest in peace.

show just one corpse of those killed or d picture?.
Y don't u care about this killing with evidence?

Slickest:
Yes, but when we say it they say we lie

can u show us a corpse or picture of one person that died at lekki?



Y are u not concerned about this corpses killed by obi?

I guess their lives don't matter even when u can see their corpses?

PDPdestroyer:
The only massacre without bodies. The one with bodies floating on Ezu river is not worth remembering

God bless u

Isn't it funny that they care about a so called massacre without corpses but don't care about what obi did at ezu river?

chiagozien:
And you work in all police stations in Nigeria to know this?

oya show us just one corpse of anyone killed at lekki

At least this is the corpses of those obi killed at ezu river, I guess your propaganda doesn't suit u to demand justice for those killed at ezu river?

RaySimran:
In Apapa, I saw a corpse that was refused treatment by a hospital after being shot by port police in tincan. The hospital emergency room was burnt down by angry youths, they've since stop functioning

so y don't u care about evidence of multiple corpses like this if u so much care about just one corpse?
