Lekki Tollgate massacre: Buhari ordered killing of EndSARS protesters – Omokri alleges
Reno Omokri, Nigeria’s socio-political activist, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of ordering the killing of EndSARS protesters at Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State last year.
Omokri claimed that Buhari ordered the killing of the protesters “out of self interest.”
He based his claim with Buhari’s comment on the protest.
The former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, in a tweet wrote: “To prove to you that Buhari personally ordered the #LekkiMassacre of innocent, unarmed, peaceful #EndSARS protesters, just go and rewatch his June 10, 2021 AriseTV interview, where he accused #EndSARS protesters of wanting to “remove me”. Buhari killed them out of self interest!”
Some Nigerian youths were killed on October 20, 2020 at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.
The youths were protesting police brutality at the toll gate when soldiers invited shot at them.
Despite claims of people killed, the Nigerian government had severally denied wrong doings at the scene, claiming that nobody died.
However, the Lagos State EndSARS panel on Monday submitted its report and described the incident at the tollgate as a massacre.
