A group of pro-Buhari protesters who are against the #EndSARS protest has converged on the Unity Fountain in Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the protesters who were conveyed to the venue on a bus held up placards, insisting that “nobody died at Lekki tollgate” in Lagos.
Part of the placards read that: #EndSarsProtest; Lekki shooting was a hoax”, and ”Nobody died at Lekki tollgate”.
On October 20, 2020, soldiers reportedly opened fire on protesters campaigning against police brutality at Lekki tollgate.
While some reports, including civil society groups say some protesters were killed in the attack, the federal government has disputed this account.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information, on Wednesday, described the Lekki incident as a ”phantom massacre”.
Nigerians poured into the streets in Lagos, Abuja, and other places today to mark the first anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.
