Who gave the Lekki Shooting Order? is a big question still steering at the face of the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Government till today.
The events that occurred on October 20th, 2020, at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, Nigeria, will forever remain etched in the minds of Nigerians and the international community. The brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters by the Nigerian military resulted in the deaths of several unarmed civilians.
The question on the minds of many is: “Who gave the order for the military to open fire on peaceful protesters?”
The Nigerian government initially denied that any shootings took place, but eyewitness accounts and video evidence proved otherwise. The government later admitted that soldiers were present at the Lekki Toll Gate, but claimed that they were only there to enforce a curfew that had been imposed earlier that day.
The Nigerian military has also denied that they opened fire on protesters, claiming that they only used blank bullets and that no one was killed. However, forensic evidence and eyewitness accounts suggest otherwise.
The Nigerian people are demanding answers. They want to know who gave the order for the military to be deployed to the Lekki Toll Gate and who gave the order for them to open fire on unarmed civilians.
The government has promised to set up an investigation into the matter, but many Nigerians are skeptical that justice will be served.
The Lekki Lagos Nigeria killings have sparked international outrage, with many countries and organizations calling for an independent investigation into the matter.
The United Nations, the African Union, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have all condemned the violence and called for those responsible to be held accountable.
In conclusion, the events that occurred at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20th, 2020, were a tragedy that should never have happened. The Nigerian people deserve answers, and those responsible for the deaths of unarmed civilians must be held accountable.
The international community must continue to put pressure on the Nigerian government to ensure that justice is served. Only then can Nigeria move forward and heal from this tragic event.
