Global rights group, Amnesty International, has revealed that at least 12 Lekki protesters were killed at the Lekki tollgate plaza and at the Alausa areas of Lagos State, adding that the security agents hid some of the corpses of the protesters.

 

It said since the #EndSARS protests began, 56 people had been killed while 38 of them were killed on Tuesday alone.

Amnesty said this in a statement on Wednesday titled, ‘Nigeria: Killing of #EndSARS protesters by the military must be investigated’.

The statement read in part, “An on-the-ground investigation by Amnesty International has confirmed that the Nigerian Army and police killed at least 12 peaceful protesters yesterday (Tuesday) at two locations in Lagos.

“The killings took place in Lekki and Alausa, where thousands were protesting against police brutality as part of the #EndSARS movement.”

AI stated that evidence gathered from eyewitnesses, video footage and hospital reports confirm that between 6.45pm and 9pm on Tuesday, October 20, the Nigerian military opened fire on thousands of people who were peacefully calling for good governance and an end to police brutality.

Country Director of Amnesty International, Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, said the soldiers had only one intention, which was murder.

The statement further read, “Witnesses at the Lekki protest ground told Amnesty International that solders arrived at about 6:45pm local time on Tuesday and opened fire on #EndSARS protesters without warning.

“Eyewitnesses at the Alausa protest ground said they were attacked by a team of soldiers and policemen from the Rapid Response Squad Unit at about 8pm, leaving at least two people dead and one critically injured.

“Opening fire on peaceful protesters is a blatant violation of people’s rights to life, dignity, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Soldiers, clearly, had one intention – to kill without consequences.”

AI said it received reports that shortly before the shootings, CCTV cameras at the Lekki tollgate, where #EndSARS protesters had been camped for two weeks, were removed by government officials and the electricity was cut – a clear attempt to hide evidence.
