Says No Soldiers Were at the scene
The Nigerian military has denied that its men opened fire on protesters at Lekki Toll Gate.
There was killing of genocidal proportion at the Lekki toll-gate, the convergence point of EndSARS protesters on Tuesday evening.
The incident followed a 24-hour curfew imposed by the governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu yesterday. Most of the protesters were still stuck at the protest ground when curfew began at 4pm. They had a sit-out waving the Nigeria flag and and reciting the national anthem.
But what was a peaceful demonstration became a thing of chaos and uneasiness as men in uniform of Nigerian army moved in with armoured tank and subsequently unleash terror on the protesters killing many in the wake.
Other suffered varying degrees of debilitating injury.
Speaking on the incident while reacting to reports by Saharareporters, the Nigerian army said it had no hand in what appeared to be a premeditated murder.
The security entity also disclosed that no soldiers were at the scene of the pogrom, a claim that is in stark contrast with video evidence that’s in the public domain.
