The panel pointed out that the manner of the unprovoked and unjustifiable killing of unarmed and peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020, was once a massacre.

“At the Lekki Tollgate, officers of the Nigerian Army shot, injured and killed unarmed helpless and defenceless protesters, except provocation or justification, whilst they were waving the Nigerian flag and singing the country wide anthem and the manner of assault and killing ought to in context be described as a massacre,” the panel stated in its report.

This damning verdict was once launched on Monday after the panel’s more-than-a-year investigation into the allegations of the abuses and human rights violation of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which was once prolonged to cowl the events of the night of October 20.
