"This is a national hero and these people truly deserve those awards President Buhari was giving to those people few weeks back. But no one in power seems to see it that way. He freaking lost a leg for the country."
@Ada_Kabadi1
"Don’t forget that one of the Presidential candidates asked “What were they doing there?” No empathy, No remorse!! Vote wisely my people."
@dan4matic
"Oluomo speaking for Tinubu said no one was shot, no one was injured, no one was killed. This injustice must end, this wickedness must stop, this devilish act must stop."
@_justinkaycee
"Yet some folks called #LekkiMassacre fake &laughed over the pains of the victims. At least a survivor is here as an evidence, what about those that died which our government denied?"
@_McOatt
"They claim not to have shot us. They claimed Switch’s video was photoshopped. The blood of our heroes is upon them."
@dumabichukwu
"And some are still denying that it happened . O God give us in this country a heart of flesh . Remove our stony hearts."
@OnwukaGold
"Yet some claimed nothing happened. What a country."
BREAKING: We have been teargassed by men of Nigeria police, youths at Lekki tollgate raise alarm
Officers of the Nigerian Police Force have reportedly shot teargas to disperse youths commemorating the memorial of the #EndSARS protest at Lekki tollgate.
The memorial rally was organised to mark the second anniversary of the #EndSARS movement. Earlier in the day, security operatives took over the Toll Gate ahead of the procession.
The drive/walk-through procession was announced by entertainer, Folarin Falana aka Falz the Bahd guy, on his Instagram page on Wednesday.
According to a flier shared by Falz, the procession will mirror the first anniversary, where citizens drove, and walked through the tollgate to remember the victims.
