POLITICS NIGERIA reports that soldiers on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos in order to disperse the protesting youth.
In an interview on CNN, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had said that the Nigerian Army should be held responsible for the shooting at the Lekki Toll Plaza.
Reacting to the incident, the Nigerian Army said the Lagos government invited its officers to the protest venue to restore order and normalcy. However, the army denied that soldiers shot protesters, describing reports on the alleged attack by the military as fake.
