1. It was a faithful night at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos, with conditions that were ripe for disaster. A tragedy that shocked the World. On that penultimate night of the peaceful demonstrative rallies, a Twitter user twitted that the Army were on their way to the tollgate,
2. but innocent Nigerian youths maintained their positions. Armed with just placards & our loud voices, singing the National Anthem at the top of our lungs, we thought that those were symbolic, & they would save us. WE WERE WRONG! This is a very Sad Nigerian Haunting Story.. 💔😭
3. Overwhelmed by pent-up anger & bursting from the inside to be heard, we never imagined that the Armed Forces who are meant to protect us, were out for blood. At around 7:45 PM on 20.10.2020, our comrades stationed on the lookout, spotted the Nigerian Army directly ahead.
What do we really want in this country? Remove the bad and replace them with the ugly!
How can anybody defend General Enenche who was part of the false narrative of the deep state/military industrial complex that masked the truth of the #Lekkitollgate massacre?

It is ridiculous for anybody to claim that he was acting on the command of the military HQ. Where was his conscientious objection?
See, ehn, we had a General Ishola Williams who resigned his military Commission for reason that the 1994 coup of Abacha was immoral.

How about my good friend, Col Abubakar Umar Dangiwa who 1993 resigned from the Army over the annulment of the June 12 polls.
These were conscientious objectors. These are the people we seek in the New Nigeria that is POssible.

1. Now that the Lagos State @followlasg Judicial Panel of Inquiry has affirmed that peaceful Nigerian citizens protesting police brutality were massacred at #Lekkitollgate in Lagos a year ago, the individuals in the @HQNigerianArmy and @PoliceNG who gave the unlawful
orders for the extrajudicial killings — as well as those who pulled the trigger — must pay for their crimes with prosecution and punishment.
2. As I said when the news of the killings broke to the world, these are violations of international humanitarian law in addition to
2. As I said when the news of the killings broke to the world, these are violations of international humanitarian law in addition to
national laws. This was mass murder, and attempted mass murder, pure and simple. The perpetrators must not go free, and adequate restitution— which is also within the mandate of the judicial panel — must be made to all the protesters who were murdered in cold blood, injured, or
It is five month today since the October 20 Lekki tollgate shooting that changed the course of the nationwide #EndSARS protest against @PoliceNG brutality and end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) outfit, a notorious unit accused of perpetrating human rights abuses.
Around 6:45 p.m on the 20th of October, 2020 officers of the Nigerian Army besieged the venue of the protest at Lekki Toll Gate, shooting live bullets directly at protesters.

Those young women are still suffering the consequences of all the amazing work they did for #EndSARS.
We all saw it. We were here when it happened.
We saw the people who stood up for us.
FemCo's is crystal clear.
Joey Akan, what did you do on 20/10/20?

We are not talking about something that happened in secret.
We were here watching.
We saw Moe tweet sending ambulances to protests.
We saw her tweet that the Army were preventing the ambulances to reach the injured.
We saw how none of these women slept that night.

That you allow your conscience to be bought over, and black, white just for a few rubles, doesn't mean that that is how everyone else lives.
These women showed integrity beyond measure when we needed it.
They stood up and took the target that would have been on anyone else.

By the time I arrived in court, it was already in session. Just walking in I knew something was different, still feeling stressed out from this morning’s events, now no seats.

So from what I’ve gathered petitioners counsel, Adesina Ogunsanya has complained about that persons have been trailing his clients and names the Federal government, Lagos state government & Lekki Concession Company as perpetrators.

He further accuses him of sharing case details on social media and LG Counsel, Kayode Enitan seconds him.

12:22 pm, Time stamp reads 18:31:58 - we are getting closer. #EndSARS
We are starting to see some activity, in clear view, protestors can be seen, some running away and others trying to create a barrier between them an the military. The atmosphere in the court room just got intense @ARISEtv #EndSARS
12:40 pm - the protesters on the other side of the gate and the military continues to slowly close in on them. I feel a tight knot in my chest 🥺 #EndSARS

Piecing together details of on-the-ground reporting, credible information posted online by citizens, accounts by witnesses and victims as well as information obtained from top military sources, PREMIUM TIMES can now paint a clearer picture of what happened at the #LekkiTollGate.
The conventionprinted media has always been biased against the North and Muslims in Nigeria, and this hasn't changed with the new media. We saw the power of social media in the Nigerian space with regards to #EndSARS and the #Lekkitollgate shootings. Now, 158 Nigerians have been
massacred in #oyigboMassacre but there is no outrage. The killers are the IPOB terrorists, & those that championed the Endsars protest on social media are deliberately not interested in these killings because those Nigerians killed are the endangered species, the Hausas.
Every step describes how hypocritical you lots have always been, and how not ready for a smooth justice system we are in Nigeria, if even murders of 100s are covered for obvious reasons.
We call for justice to be served with no further delay.

I woke up this morning angry at two things;
1. The cowards threatening @AishaYesufu for her fierce demands for a better Nigeria.
2. Senator Ali Ndume's interview on @channelstv over the weekend.
Let me start with the masked scoundrels threatening Aisha.

In 2014, General @MBuhari, @GovKaduna Mallam @elrufai, the former national chairman of the @OfficialAPCNg, John Oyegun, and others were pictured protesting against the @GEJonathan-led govt.

Like the #EndSARS protests of today that @AishaYesufu is visibly part of, they tagged their protests 'salvation rally'. Their goal then was to draw global attention to the hijack of @PoliceNG by the @OfficialPDPNig govt, piloted by Jonathan.

Dear friends, everyday in the last 13 days I’ve written to you daily. Mainly because I felt that my role was to guide young people on how to engage, protest and dialogue/negotiate peacefully.
And Nigeria’s young people emerged; peaceful, brilliant and purposeful on #endsars

Until last night, when the unthinkable happened. At first I thought it was just the predictable deployment of the military to help calm things down, allowing peaceful protests to go on, but ensuring that those trying to perpetuate violence never came close to #endsars protesters.
I was wrong, we were wrong. We may never have the full account of what happened at #Lekkitollgate but the footages we saw painted a horrific image of unnecessary escalations from what could have been an evening of sit-out, while rendering the national anthem peacefully. #endsars
#THREAD: @SenAdetunmbi , HON. PROF. JULIUS O. IHONVBERE AND OTHER @nassnigeria LAWMAKERS DEMAND JUSTICE FOR KILLINGS DURING #ENDSARS PROTESTS.
We the undersigned are legislators committed to setting agenda for progressive laws in Nigeria; initiating progressive laws and speaking against anti-people bills in the @nassnigeria.
We have followed carefully the #ENDSARS protest by young people across Nigeria for the past two weeks and the killings in several cities including Jos, Kaduna, Abuja, Benin and Lagos.
I condemn in the strongest possible terms, attacks launched by the Nigerian military on unarmed young people, who have been peacefully protesting police brutality over the last 12 days as #EndSARS protests.
I am confounded that prior to the sad events at the #LekkiTollGate, the Nigerian Police failed to arrest the weapon-bearing hoodlums who were attacking the well-organized and non-violent #EndSARS protesters.
The condemnable actions of the military risks driving the agitations of the young people underground, thereby making the situation unmanageable.
