TECHNOCRAT MEDIA NIGERIA
ABUJA – Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says there is no proof that any protester was killed at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos state in October 2020.
On October 20, 2020, men and officers of the Nigeria Army reportedly opened fire on protesters in an attempt to disperse them, but some were allegedly killed and wounded in the process.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday monitored by TECHNOCRAT MEDIA, Mohammed described the event at the tollgate as a “phantom massacre”.
He said, “Today marks the first anniversary of the phantom massacre at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, which was the culmination of an otherwise peaceful protest that was later hijacked by hoodlums,”
At earlier press conferences, I had called the reported massacre at the toll gate the first massacre in the world without blood or bodies.
“One year later, and despite ample opportunities for the families of those allegedly killed and those alleging a massacre to present evidence, there has been none: No bodies, no families, no convincing evidence, nothing,”
“Where are the families of those who were reportedly killed at the toll gate? Did they show up at the Judicial Panel of Inquiry? If not, why?”
