Five months after the terrible massacre melted upon the youths of Nigerians by the soldiers for demanding an end to police brutality, Twitter users called on the government to reveal those who ordered the incident.
Recall that there has been a string of controversies concerning who ordered the shot that killed scores of people in the Lekki Tollgate on 20, October 2020.
However, using the popular hashtags, #EndSARS and #LekkiMassacre, the young Nigerians are asking why nobody has been prosecuted for the murder of innocent protesters whose only crime was seeking a better Nigeria.

Moreso, the Lagos state government initially denied that anyone died in the October 20, 2020 shooting, only to later admit that two deaths. However, an investigation showed that well over 20 people at the protest scene died while scores were injured brutally.
As more evidence confirming that the soldiers shot at protesters at Lekki Toll Gate resurfaced, the Nigerian Army pulled out of the investigative panel set up to look into the incident. The Lagos Judicial Panel Panel of Inquiry and Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Lekki Toll Gate Incident also suffered a credibility blow after Rinu Oduala, one of the youth representatives and arrowhead in the protest, renounced her membership.
Rinu cited “undue intimidation of peaceful protesters” and the panel’s decision to re-open the Toll Gate where the shooting took place.

The person who ordered the #LekkiMassacre is a Nigerian like us. He still breathes oxygen like us. He still receives love from his family yet he terminated the future of scores of Nigerian youths. It has been 5 months and it will remain evergreen in our hearts.Who is that person?
