Given The Same Circumstance, We’ll Repeat What We Did In Lekki, Army by Racoon(op):
The Nigerian Army has vowed to repeat the same action it took at the Lekki tollgate if such a situation arises again.

Soldiers had forcefully dispersed #EndSARS protesters who converged on the tollgate for 13 days.The incident had triggered an outrage, within and outside the country.

The army had maintained that blank bullets were used to disperse the protesters who were out on the streets during the time the Lagos state government imposed a curfew.

When he appeared before the panel set up to probe the incident, on Saturday, Ibrahim Taiwo, commander of military intelligence, 81 division of the Nigerian Army, said given the same circumstance, the army would act in a similar to that of October 20, 2020.

Taiwo had earlier explained that phase four of the military internal security operation, which was deployed in the Lekki tollgate on the night of October 20, 2020, involved the use of both live and blank ammunition.

“A portion of the force will carry live bullets, in case they are attacked. But the soldiers that formed the firing team, who fired, used blank bullets. And that is why you watched the video and saw exactly what happened,” he had said while being cross examined by Olumide Fusika, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

To everyone that voted out good luck Jonathan put your hands on your head and repeat this curse after me. "O Lord, rule my life just exactly as this administration is ruling Nigeria"

.
But I believe Nigeria will come out stronger. It reminds me of this story below
.
A fat man saw an ad that says, "LOSE 5KG IN A WEEK"
He calls and said, "I would like to join!"
The lady at the end of the call replied, "OK, be ready at 6am tomorrow morning.
Next morning, he opens the door and finds a hot babe with shoes, underpants and a shirt saying, "If you catch me, you can have sex with me!" Immediately, the girl starts running.
The guy starts running after her but couldn't catch her. He chased her unsuccessfully during the whole week and loses 5kg. He then asks for the 10kg program.
Next morning at 6, he opens the door and saw even an hotter babe in bikini saying, "If you catch me, you can have sex me."
He loses 10kg that week after another unsuccessful chase. So he said to the lady, "This program is awesome! Let me try the 25kg."
But the lady was sceptical, "Are you sure? Its really tough!"
The man was adamant.
So next morning at the same time, he opens the door expecting to see an unclad babe, but finds a dirty unclad mad man saying, "If I catch you, I will have sex with you!"
That week, he lost 50kg

“The hope of escaping with impunity is the greatest incentive to vice.”-(Cicero)

“As soon as it is possible to disobey with impunity, disobedience is legitimate."-(Jean-Jacques Rousseau).
This is what lawlessness, impunity and lack of accountability can cause.

Imagine the arrogance.This is so shameful, insensitive and utterly despicable of a killer army whose wicked complicit have been unravelled in the Lekki massacre.

They will not kill Bandits or BH but peaceful #EndSARS protesters.Nigeria is gone to the dogs.

Shameful
In a sane country you ought to be stripped of your uniform and rank.

To admit shooting harmless protesters is the greatest act of cowardice, just to show loyalty to man and slain your conscience

This made FP already now. Shameless army. They switched off the lights and denied medical help to victims but will do it again after lying.

Until we stop praying and crying,

Until we accept that government is the problem of Nigeria.

Until the good guys become the good/bad guys

Until the citizens match the government weapon to weapon,

What the Army commander said will certainly repeat itself

In the eyes of a nigerian soldier, a civilian is just a dispensable animal.
