20/10/20 will go down as one of the darkest days in the history Nigeria following the alleged killings of the peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos.
Recall that an unknown number of persons, murders still unsolved, were reportedly killed by soldiers who shot live rounds to disperse protesters at the toll.
The controversies of the incident are still fresh in the minds of Nigerians who maintain that there was a massacre despite the government’s continual denial that no single protester died during the shootout.
Recall that the government engaged in an exchange with CNN after the international media reported against the government’s position forcing it to threaten sanctions but CNN vowed to stand by its report, demanding counter-evidence from the Nigerian government.
Meanwhile, three months have gone and youths are still demanding justice from the government for the #LekkiMassacre. See tweets below:

Already 3 months yet no justice.
I am not surprised if the Attorney general not the nation could be murdered and as well as a gubernatorial candidate yet no form of justice.— YoungJohnTheResearcher??⚗️?? (@IamRoyalEagle) January 20, 2021
