President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, have been sued over the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos last Tuesday.

In a N10bn suit filed before the Federal High Court in Lagos, a lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje said he is suing President Buhari, Buratai, and 10 others for violating the fundamental human rights of the protesters. Also joined as defendants in the suit are the Federal Government, the Nigerian Army, Chief of Defence Staff, Inspector-General of Police; Nigeria Police Force.

Others are State Security Service; Director-General, SSS; Lagos State Government; Attorney General of Lagos State; and the Attorney General of the Federation.

The lawyer is urging the court to compel the defendants to immediately pay N10bn compensation to all the victims of the mindless shooting and brutal killing at Lekki tollgate.

According to the suit, the lawyer is asking the court to declare as illegal, undemocratic, oppressive, and unconstitutional the brutal shooting and use of brute force against unarmed, defenseless, and peaceful #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020, at the Lekki tollgate.

Ogungbeje is also urging the court to make an order compelling the immediate prosecution of all the culpable security agents, soldiers, and persons directly or indirectly or remotely involved in the dastardly shooting and killing of the protesters.

He noted that the action of the Nigerian Army violated the protesters’ constitutional “right to life, fair hearing, right to peaceful assembly and association guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Haven't you heard about 3 arms of gov't
Executive
Judiciary
Legislative

Efforts in futile.

Charge and bail lawyer wan cash out. Oloriburuku.

Where are the bodies of the victims? what are their names? Where are their families? Where are the autopsy reports that shows they died from gun shots? The two that died were from blunt force trauma due to stampede.


You cannot go to court with social media fake videos and pictures as evidence. The judge would throw the case out in five seconds.

The lekki audio massacre is one of the biggest scam in Nigeria's history.



I AM DONE TALKING

Lipscomb:
Efforts in futile.

Yea. It is effort in futility because your Sharia Judge will throw it before the prosecuting council is done reading his case.

Don't worry, the Hagues awaits your paymasters.

What were the soldiers doing there in the first place? Quit hammering on the ''massacre" ish.
Focus on this!
Was the so called stampede caused by ghost? If you're in a gathering and hear gunshots, wouldn't you try to escape?
The incidence could have been avoided with a little reason.
Whether two or a million, lives have been lost.

For where? These people they use us dey catch cruise

Unfortunately Politicians succeeded in distracting the protesters, it goes out to show how bastardized the Nigeria system is.

Make I hear word

This case is going no where because the accusers are not represented and how are we going to share the compensation if eventually he wins the case

The soldiers were in their rights to be there because a curfew had been imposed .
