UN Asks FG To Investigate Attack On EndSARS Protesters In Lekki by Amotolongbo(f): 3:00pm On Oct 21, 2020
THE UNITED NATIONS (UN) HAS CONDEMNED THE ATTACK ON #ENDSARS PROTESTERS BY SECURITY OPERATIVES AT THE LEKKI TOLL GATE IN LAGOS STATE.

António Guterres, UN secretary-general, in a statement by Stephane Dujarric, his spokesman, asked the federal government to probe the incident and bring the perpetrators to book.

Some protesters were reportedly killed and several others injured on Tuesday night after security operatives opened fire on protesters agitating against police brutality.

Guterres noted that the UN is abreast the situation while calling on the government to bring the unrest to a stop.

“The Secretary-General is following recent developments in Nigeria and calls for an end to reported police brutality and abuses. He condemns the violent escalation on 20 October in Lagos which resulted in multiple deaths and caused many injuries. He expresses his condolences to the bereaved families and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured,” the statement on the UN website read.

“He calls on the Nigerian authorities to investigate these incidents and hold the perpetrators accountable.

‘The Secretary-General urges the security forces to act at all times with maximum restraint while calling on protestors to demonstrate peacefully and to refrain from violence.

“The Secretary-General encourages the authorities to swiftly explore avenues to de-escalate the situation. He reiterates the readiness of the United Nations to support national efforts towards finding a solution.”

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state, had earlier claimed that there were no casualties in the attack.

He, however, later confirmed the death of one person at Reddington Hospital.

The governor also denied any involvement of the state in the incident, blaming it on “forces beyond his direct control”.

The United Kingdom parliament has also said it will consider a petition asking the country to sanction the federal government for human rights abuses over the #EndSARS campaign.

As of Wednesday morning, the petition has garnered over 133,000 signatures — less than 24 hours after it was created.

How can FG investigate FG? Or the UN is feigning ignorance of all the events leading to the shooting ystdy evening? What about the thugs being dropped off in govt hilux vans in Abuja ystdy to attack peaceful protesters?

Let's not deceive ourselves.AU, US, UK, UN, The Commonwealth etc needs to place severe sanctions on the Buhari government for all these senseless bloodshed & killings since none wants to be accountable for all these atrocities by security agencies.

Are what we asked too much?

What was the Protest about?

The people asking government to stop brutalizing & killing innocent citizens

What was their response?

Govt kills the innocent citizens who are asking govt to stop killing innocent citizens

And somewhere, to someone, this makes sense

When the dust settles I hope we can continue to speak up and defend our rights.

-Never pay any fee for police bail.

-Never pay any extra fee for government services already paid for.

We need to resist each other from extorting and abusing each other.

Let the new crop of politicians that will emerge learn that we are not existing at their mercy.

You do your job and we keep you in office, or you mess up and we sack you.

It is very evident, that the APC government did not learn from the sack of PDP.

Buhari happen to be the greatest hypocrite who learnt nothing from all that has transpired over the past decade.

About time the government is called to account. Over time I have noticed President Buhari thinks much about the International Community especially because that’s the fora where he comments on National affairs. I’m in the hope he listens and restructures the country to have six geopolitical regions and a weak Centre at Abuja- reduce the cost of governance by slashing the sinful allowances of the legislature.

For many days, I watched the protests. I followed with keen interest on the streets of Twitter and IG. I felt so much hope in my heart that change is finally about to come to Nigeria.

Then this....

My nation's army fired live bullets into groups of peaceful protesters whose crime was simply asking for change. People seeking an end to the mindless killing of their brothers, sisters, children and friends by the dreaded SARS.

What is the value of a Nigerian life?

In a democracy, our own government treats our requests like the ranting of a recalcitrant child. How can the penalty for breaching a curfew be the death penalty

My heart bleeds, I am angry! I feel helpless and shocked!

Which way, Nigeria? God, please help my country. We are tired!
