The Nigerian state has not been shy of massacres in recent memory, notably the alleged killing of a yet to be ascertained number of protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, a tragedy largely blamed on Buhari’s government for giving the authorization for the Nigerian Army to engage peaceful and unarmed protesters with live bullets.

More recently, the slaughter of 43 rice farmers at Zabarmari village has further posed question marks on the Buhari led government, particularly with regard to the competence of his service chiefs and security apparatuses in tackling the rising tide of insurgency and banditry in Northern Nigeria.
Sowore, who has for a long time sought to overrun Buhari’s government with waves of protests under the aegis of the Coalition for Revolution (CORE), has now cited several massacres within the last few years and blaming these unfortunate events on the unwillingness or inability of Buhari’s government to protect the lives and properties of Nigerian citizens
