LEKKI MASSACRE: A day We’ll Never Forget, Can Sanwoolu, Lai, Garba, Fashola And Others Bury Their Heads In Shame?

LEKKI SHOOTING: THAT WAS A MASSACRE!

LEKKI MASSACRE: A day We Will Never Forget, Can Sanwoolu, Lai, Garba, Fashola And Others Bury Their Heads In Shame?

Can Jide Sanwoolu, Lai Mohammed, Garba Shehu, Raji Fashola and others asking “where are the bodies?” honourably bury their heads in shame now that the submitted #EndSars Panel report has shown that there was indeed a massacre? 

Everyone knows there was a massacre; it is a living truth that is incontrovertible. The authorities are equally aware that the tragedy that occurred at Lekki Tollgate October 2020 was a mindless massacre. They masterminded the evil just to break the undying resolve of protesting youths yearning for a country that respects human rights and social justice.

Lagos #EndSARS Panel Recommends Dismissal Of Soldiers, Policemen Deployed To Lekki Toll Gate Over Killings

Now that the youths have been vindicated, will the authorities truly implement the recommendations of the Panel? Will the APC government ever apologize to young people and admit that its dirty hands are full of blood and the spirit of the slain innocent is crying bitterly in heaven for vengeance?

Given that the #EndSars struggle was a major reason why Twitter was banned, would the Buhari regime truly apologize and lift the thoughtless ban with immediate effect? Would the Buhari regime place itself in the witness box and answer questions over the fatal murder of courageous Nigerians exercising their fundamental rights to protest and freedom of expression and association?

For there be true peace in Nigeria, those massacred must get justice. Now that the truth has been corroborated, consequences must be meted out against those found wanting. And that will start from President Muhammadu Buhari, the very Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces. No justice, no peace.

We will never forget.
