No fewer than 20 bodies of #EndSARS protesters that were shot dead by the Nigerian Army on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, were secretly moved to the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) mortuary in Yaba.

According to SaharaReporters, the victims of lekki massacre were said to have been moved following postmortem examinations conducted on their bodies at the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

The IDH mortuary is beside the 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital (68 NARHY), a military health facility in Yaba.

It was gathered that moment later some military officials moved to the to area of the protest to complete the plan, and by the time the sounds of their guns died down, dozens of protesters had been killed.
