Who asked for an eyewitness account?

Another nameless, faceless "eyewitness"?

Logical people are simply asking for incontrovertible evidence, the kind that would hold up to scrutiny in a court of law.

We've heard these stories before. Thanks, now provide evidence!

Are you minding these dense cows...

Instead of providing hard evidence they're busy running around in circles.

How can you tell us that you saw bodies of people who were shot dead yet you could not get a single pic yet you all have camera phones with which you were sending out fake info!

Again... to all soldiers involved in the lekki shooting they will die a miserable death.

Their parents , their wife and siblings will cry and mourn over them soon. Cry of sorrow, weeping and gnashing of teeth will never depart from their homes


To their supporters who said no one was killed, their siblings, sons and daughters too will go on a journey of no return.


I don’t know when defying a curfew is a death sentence.

DJ Switch MUST TELL US WHO DIRECTED THE INSTAGRAM LIVE VIDEO_ by Pigo Hedliger.

However Nigerians present this Lekki regrettable and ugly incident , emotions will never take the place of logic. Yes lives have been lost in this protest all over Nigeria & yes there were shootings at Lekki Toll but never a massacre .

However, there have been too many lies about the number of people, & I find this disheartening because even one life lost is bad enough.

No matter how you hate me, curse or call names, it doesn’t change the truth from remaining the truth. Soldiers came to Lekki toll gate and fired bullets in the air for 30minutes, people scampered for safety and there was first degree stampede that night. Over 100 people got injured, stray bullet hit 3 and all of them are still in the hospital while one of them died the next day.

If you can pause and think, the first thing you will ask yourself is. Since they call this a massacre

1. Why was there no single drop of blood at Lekki toll gate the next morning after the shooting and the road is tarred of which you can see everything on the ground.

2. With the bullets we saw on the ground in the morning after the shooting, if soldiers actually fired straight bullets at protesters, don’t you think it’s trailer that will be used to pack dead bodies the next day

3. Let us agree soldiers killed 100people and moved them away. Now ask yourselves, did they come back with water, hypo and buckets to wash the whole of Lekki toll gate? To the extent we didn’t see a drop of blood from what Nigerians termed massacre

4. Let us agree that soldiers killed 100people, moved their bodies away, came back and washed the whole ground with hypo, let’s ask ourselves, what are their names, who are their parents and friends, why haven’t any family in Lagos come out since then to say my children are not yet back from Lekki protest?

If Nigeria does not kill fake news, fake news will kill Nigeria.

Over 20people Nigerians posted their pics and videos claiming they died during the so called massacre have come out to deny and say they are all alive.

99% of pics and videos flying around social media turned out to be fake.

CNN and BBC finally found out most of the news is fake and have retracted most of the pics they displayed initially.

What everyone is now asking is that. Why should soldiers come and fire bullets in the first place, nobody is calling it massacre anymore.

All the noise ended up as lies and hoax. Even the CCTV camera they raised alarm that was removed at the toll gate turned out to be lies.

Those doing the lying are actually doing more disservice to the movement because it casts all else in doubt.

I maintain; you can condemn both the shooting & the lies.

Buhari is not the owner of Nigeria. Do not burn down this country with lies. If we burn down this country, Buhari will retire 2023 and the damages we caused , all of us will still suffer it forever.

Nairalandnigga:
Thank God DJ Switch has finally made a video about what happened that night. For those who didn't watch it, she mentioned two forces; the Nigerian army and the police force. The Nigerian army came first, and when they left, the police force (SARS) continued. Perhaps, reason why there was an increase in the death toll and why the army also denies it.

Now, you may be wondering why DJ Switch and others took the bodies to the soldiers. Let me tell you what happened.

According to Brigadier General Francis Omata, who was alleged as the person who gave his soldiers, the command to kill unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate, he didn't do it.

Francis said he was not the one who gave the order. It was Lt. Col S.O Bello of the 65 Battalion Bonny Camp.

Why his name is being spread about is because when he heard the plot, he rushed to the scene 39 minutes later to pull back his boys.

He had to announce his name to prevent them from shooting him. This was how people got his name and thought he led them. Here is the link below to read this information:


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.withinnigeria.com/2020/10/21/brigadier-francis-omata-clears-the-air-on-lekkimassacre-names-officer-who-led-the-operation/amp/

Yes, the Nigerian Army under the command of LT. Col S.O Bello, gave the command to kill unarmed protesters. Who sent Bello?

Now, the reason why DJ Switch trusted the army enough to lay the bodies at their feet was because of Omata. She thought she could trust him, since he came to stop his boys. So for those wondering, I hope you have your answers.

Now, in her statement, she said the SARS police came later. You know they are still disgruntled about their dissolution and took out their anger on the protesters. They've been killing before, it's not a new thing.

The bulk of the killing, the probable 63 dead youths were killed by SARS, the same people this protest is all about.

And...

They are silencing people from speaking the truth.

I found this out when someone made a post of one of the victims and how he was killed. When I got back to check the post, I didn't see it. I asked the lady, she said they told her to take it down.

Who are they?




Now, let's look at a time line of event since the Lekki Massacre:

Sanwo-Olu wrote;

"This is the toughest night of our lives as forces beyond our direct control have moved to make dark notes in our history, but we will face it and come out stronger." This was by 7:43 10/20/20.

Meanwhile the shooting continued until the next morning. Forces beyond our Governors control stopped him from directing the ones under his control to stop the shooting.

We also heard the military was looking for the survivors of the shooting to kill them off.

This was after Sanwo-Olu wrote,

"There are currently 10 patients at the Gen. Hospital, 11 at Reddington, and 4 at Vedic; with mild to moderate levels of injuries while 2 are receiving intensive medical care."

I believe he made this statement as a means of informing the military where the survivors are since making phone calls might leave trails when investigations begin.



Reno Omokri tweeted on 17th,


"I just got privilege information that there is division in the military about how to handle EndSARS protesters, with Burutai pushing for a Shiite scenario, similarly to the Zaria massacre."

This was on 17th October, 2020. The Lekki massacre happened 20th October, 2020 with the military and SARS hiding dead bodies so they can easily twist the story.





Do you know what these guys are doing?

They want to discredit the Lekki story and they are winning!

These people maimed the Nigerian Youths that went out to protest for a better life, they killed them, and threatened their family to keep quiet.

They are monsters!

You'll be blessed

Let them keep deceiving theirself. Soldiers open fire and everybody that got hit landed in hospital abi, all protesters carry bullet proof go tollgate ba. How on earth will u open fire on people and non droped dead and instead they all landed in hospital. I have always known most Nigerians to be gullible. E no shock me when the government started the social engineering and d masses fell for it and started doubting their sanity. Well i followed dj switch instagram live, lekki killings happened but the figures being dished out by media are fake. About 15 persons died at the gate not 75 by media. Keep supporting dis evil goverment untill their evil hands knock on your door. Follow Ait investigation for eye witness account and correlate it with dj switch witness account and her instagram video. Just be openminded when investigating.

Their fear is if the protest continous it will Expose Their Long Hidden secret in Aso rock and Also Hidden Agendas

we really are being palyed in this country by our leaders

Just came accross a voice recording plus some video today That Really tell that we have been led by an Imposter Since 2017

The Real Buhari has been dead since Febuary 17th 2017 and buried 23th march 2017 at saudi Arabia

They kept this a secret in aso rock that few people knew about, even the death of aba kyari as heard was not covid 19, it was a cover up, they killed him

aisha knows the real truth, vice president knows and also El rufai of sokoto knows cuz they went for buria at saudi arabia. even Tinubu knows to mention but few

Now i believe Knowledge Is Truly Power
yanabasee:
The government got involved......Took the peaceful protest to a different dimensions.....Then asked the vegetable to warn the protesters not to protest again....



I have a feeling that, the people holding this country down to destroy it are the people up north....Why would they assumed that this protest is against their own?

Imagine a Nigerian polishing shoes and walking under the sun for hours.... With all the wealths that we have? No steady light? High cost of cooking gas, High cost of kerosene, high cost of food stuffs...Bad roads, terrible school structures....

Nigeria is so rich that the people in charge are too greedy to let everyone share in their wealth because, they want you to be poor for them to remain rich.


Everyone can be rich....We can work smart and live good lives like every other countries....


We need to kick this people out of office.

The governor of Lagos State Said the CCTV coverage of the area is still intact. I wonder why you lots are not demanding he makes it public so that we can all see what exactly transpired.

No you won't because obviously it's going to indict your pay masters.
