20-10-20: Nigerians Remember Victims Of Lekki Massacre
Many Nigerians have taken to different social media platforms to reminiscence over the shooting of some peaceful EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos State.
While some expressed optimism that the investigation carried out by Cable Network News, CNN would bring the perpetrators of the shooting to Justice, others said they were disappointed that no one has been brought to book yet.
One of the leading voices during the EndSARS protests, FK Abudu noted that a month ago today, people who were protesting peacefully, singing the national and waving their flags, were attacked, injured and killed.
However, Abudu stated that Nigerians would not forget the victims of the Lekki Massacre adding that she hopes they will get justice.
Meanwhile, the Minister of information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed had on Thursday described the report by CNN as one-dimensional and as such that lacked balance.
Mohammed stressed that CNN should be sanctioned for publishing the report.
Reacting, CNN insisted that the report was carried out after thorough research over the Lekki shooting.
