Lekki Massacre

by Lekki Solidarity
Nigerian military opened fire on peaceful citizens.
Nigerian military have opened fire on totally peaceful protesters that are blocking a toll gate during anti police brutality protests. From a CNN article “ One witness at the protests, Akinbosola Ogunsanya, said the shooting began after the lights were turned off at the Nigerian city's Lekki tollgate. "Members of the Nigerian army pulled up on us and they started firing," he said. "They were shooting, they were firing straight, directly at us, and a lot of people got hit. I just survived, barely."Ogunsanya added that barricades on either side of the scene were blocking ambulances.

Another witness, Temple Onanugbo, said he heard what he believed were bullets being fired from his home nearby and that the sound lasted "for about 15 to 30 minutes."

Speaking to CNN from the scene of the shooting, Onanugbo said he saw "multiple bodies laying on the ground," when he arrived to help those injured.” #lekkimassacre #endsars
