Who ordered the shootings?
Exactly 20/10/2020 government massacred the blood of the innocent and till today, nobody has been blamed, nobody has been pointed out to have ordered the shooting of those people who were killed at the Lekki Toll Gate.
It's been one year since the Lekki Toll Gate massacre, a black day in the history of Nigerians that can not be forgotten easily because it opened the door of sadness to some families.

The life of the leaders of tomorrow was cut short because the government who till today have refused to accept that they ordered the shootings murdered these souls in cold blood during the Endsars protest.
It was an innocent Endsars protest that turned into a massacre of souls. They were protesting to save their lives from being sniffed out of them by the government officials sent to protect their lives called SARS but ended up being massacred for speaking up about the evil that was going on in a broad daylight.
They were killed for exercising their fundamental human right and the protest ground was turned into a bloodbath ground, it was no longer a ground where people stood to speak for their rights as humans and that of their families, it turned into a ground where people shed their blood, lost their lives while others cried for the lost soul.
It's 20/10/2021, a year since their death and not much has changed. The families still weep and we are yet to know who ordered the shootings that led to the death of so many young Nigerians who came out for an innocent protest. A year since that incident and those who committed this crime have not been brought to justice for the death of those innocent souls that were sniffed out their bodies without any mercy.
They were not with guns but were shot by guns by the same hands that swore an oath to protect their nations no matter what. We would never forget this history in a hurry.
20/10/2020, a day smile turned into sadness, tears turn into blood, the bright sky turn into darkness. It's was indeed a memorable day. A year Nigeria and Nigerians wept blood because of the brutality of the innocent.
They committed no crime but were slain and butchered like an animal.
Rest in peace to the heroes the Nigerian Government murdered in cold blood. My condolences to their families.
It was a gory sight where lawful citizens are protesting against police brutality, injustice and generally, bad governance.
To have shot live bullets at protesters in this 21st century is a big blow to our nascent democracy.
The protest started on 8th October, 2021, and exactly three days into the protest, the government ordered a shoot at sight order which led to the killing of promising leaders of tomorrow.
To mark the day, groups of social activists around the country a staging a new phenomenal protest around the Lekki toll plaza. It will be by continuous car horn.

Hi evegrace,

It is quite tough for me because I partook in the protest on several occasions and narrowly missed that day because I was ill. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I did go. It is sad knowing that the government does not regard the lives of the people who they govern. It is sad that those who lost their lives during the shoot-out will never get the justice they deserve. sad
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. Kindly share your post on other social platforms using the #endsars tag. Let's continue the conversation
I believe God had planned that illness to spare you from that evil, it's sad that the only strategy our government could propose to settle the atmosphere was killing their own, it only shows how shallow their thinking is, this set of government has failed us
Our government never takes blame for any wrong action, they're not remorseful as long as their agenda was fulfilled. This day will never be forgotten, and the heroes will always be remembered
