The Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos state government to probe October 20, 2020, #EndSARs protest has revealed that at least 11 persons were killed during the peaceful demonstration at the Lekki Tollgate and another four missing but presumed dead making a total of 15.
The report was an incriminating indictment of heightening extrajudicial killings and unprofessionalism by Nigerian law enforcement agents
The report described as atrocious, the maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters while sitting on the floor, waving their Nigerian flags and singing the National Anthem, stressing that the act could be equated to a massacre in context.
The panel stated that 24 sustained gunshot injuries, while 15 others were assaulted by soldiers and police, revealing that 96 other corpses were presented by a Forensic Pathologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Prof. John Obafunwa.
