President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that peaceful protesters killed at Lekki Toll Gate will get justice.

Addressing the issue for the first time having been criticized for ignoring the incident in his recent national broadcast, a statement issued by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu on Sunday said President Buhari did not want to speak on Lekki until he has all the facts.

He also assured that following the setting up of a judicial panel of inquiry by the Lagos state government, security men who were murdered and property owners whose assets were vandalized and looted will also get justice.

The statement said: “As the Judicial panel of inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government, one of the more dozen states to do so, starts sitting on Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his full support and optimism that it will assist the nation to give justice to peaceful protesters who lost their lives, security men who were murdered and property owners whose assets were vandalized and looted.

“The President, who said he had all along avoided going into a debate about the Lekki Toll Gate incidents until all the facts are established, appealed to the people all over the country to maintain peace and brotherhood as the machinery of the government and the wheel of justice turn against the perpetrators of murder, arson, stealing, rape, assault and malicious damage to public and private property.

President Buhari reiterated his appeal for calm, brotherhood and communal harmony, telling Nigerians not to turn on each other in hate as according to him, peace, brotherhood, and inter-communal harmony are central to the nation’s ethos.

He said it is important that the police and other security agencies move everywhere to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.

While noting that his administration is working hard through many pragmatic ways to reduce the hardship of the millions of the unemployed, poor citizens and those whose lives have been thrown into disarray by the harsh economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, he warned that resort to widespread attacks and the organized looting and plundering of public and private property in many states are inimical to the public good and stand condemned.

Please these people should update their internet urchins on current issues.

They were trying to be economic with the truth. Even a blind man saw the videos and believed there was killing.
Those innocent blood won't allow them to rest.

Why should they be killed in the first place? No more freedom of expression. So the govt acknowledged that there are peaceful #EndSARS who lost their lives? Perhaps the US team is doing the magic now.After the only refreshing aspect of the Buhari regime is the frankness of it dishonesty.

The president cant feign ignorance of the paid thugs being dropped off in hilux vans to disrupt the peaceful #EndSARS protesters in Abuja.

What about the 65 Guards Battalion Soldiers from Bonny Camp VI that were implicated in the Lekki shootings? If the Army are saying its soldiers were not the ones shooting, then can Mr president explain to the nation who ordered them, resign or get impeached?

We hope so

How long will they continue to hide the killings and those who have died in hospitals as a results of Lekki shooting ... Infact , in that same moment , time, date ...hudlooms were looting and burning police stations at Orile, Ajegunle, Alagomeji.. but these soldiers were deployed to toll gate to go shoot the peaceful protesters... The federal and state govts should be made to pay for all privates damages , they planned it... After they tried to use same thugs to chase the peaceful protesters, it didn't work , they decided to send their thugs for crime so they can have reason to attack peaceful protesters at the Hdqtr of the peaceful protest at Lekki Toll gate.

The US govt closed door meeting put fear and pressure on this goat.

Hahahahhahaha
Seems they haven’t inform them

Lol confused people.

It was disingenuous for d president to claim to have avoided talking about Lekki killings but remembered d desecration of d Obas palace. We are not fools, he only wanted to rub it on our faces that d die na our own and he doesn't bloody care

All I want is Buhari and Burutai to spend the rest of their years in Hague's prison. Duffus!!

Na so

The biggest justice they can get is exposing and prosecuting those who authorised the killings and their collaborators.

Typing...........

Very confused people.

Obviously the killings happened. 'Cos from the Government alone, we've had different claims, from Sanwo-Olu to the military to Buhari. Only a lie has different versions.

Yet some people are here countering it.
