#LekkiLies: Reactions at the tail of US report over alleged killings

Mixed reactions have trailed the reported killings of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate which the United States (U.S.) Department of State said wasn’t true.

According to the report, titled 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices-Nigeria the US explained there is no verifiable evidence on the reported killings of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, last year.

Although Amnesty International insisted that people died of gunshot injuries, the US report stated that accurate information on fatalities resulting from the shooting was not available.

Reacting to this development, embittered Nigerians have taken to social media to vex their anger, thereby defending Dj Switch who was one of the few that recorded the event live.

Moreso, with a total number of 21,000 tweets, Nigerians kept the hashtag number one on the trending section of the microblog.

My grandad used to say that it's takes more than the politicians to destroy a nation, the people also play their part

So DJ switch is now a liar ? What we see live on her page is a lie also ? People didn’t die ? Those who died are chickens ?
The fact that some people are sponsored to trend #LEKKILIES actually buttress the point that Nigeria is far from being set free

Only a dukkard will read the US report and conclude #LekkiMassacre didn't happen. They mentioned security forces firing at civilians. Has the Nigerian Army agreed to that? Is it US that will tell u how many casualties?
