19Days After, Nigerians Demand Justice For Innocent Unarmed Protesters Killed At Lekki Toll Gate

Following the October 20, 2020 shooting by security operatives at protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos State which left many people injured and a yet to be confirmed number dead, Nigerians on social media have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.

The aggrieved Nigerians said they were appalled by the use of “force, intimidation and manipulation by (the) government and security agencies” to disperse peaceful protesters.
