Today, 20th of January, 2021 is a sad day for many Nigerians as it marks 3 months since peaceful protesters demanding an end to police brutality were shot at, leaving many wounded and over a dozen killed.
The incident has left a sour taste in the mouths of victims, families and Nigerians who watched the horrid incident that took place on a Tuesday night at the Lekki toll gate, Lagos state.
According to videos shared on that night, military men were seen opening fire on the youths protesting under the #EndSARS banner and causing serious casualties. A case of which Nigerian Army authorities have denied on several occasions, stating that soldiers fired only blank bullets in the air.
Today marks exactly 3 months month since the shooting event of October 20, 2020 and Nigerians have taken to social in remembrance of those who lost their lives.

So, this guy won’t be arrested & paraded?
Government can trace protesters & can’t trace a hoodlum? #EndSARS #LekkiMassaccre pic.twitter.com/XFKWZmQd8H

It’s been 3 months since Nigerians lost their lives at the hands of the very people sworn to protect them.
Still, not one person has been brought to justice.
Today we remember all of the brave people at Lekki Toll Gate. May they rest in eternal peace. #EndSARS #LekkiMassaccre pic.twitter.com/F5K3IUd7IB
