EndSARS: Police makes no arrest as pro-Buhari protesters hit Abuja’s Unity Fountain, claim Lekki massacre is a hoax by sweethoney12(f) : 8:06 am |
A group of pro-Buhari protesters has converged on the Unity Fountain in Abuja, saying “nobody died at Lekki tollgate†in Lagos. The protesters who were conveyed to the venue on a bus, held up placards stating,â€#EndSarsProtest; Lekki shooting was a hoaxâ€, and â€Nobody died at Lekki tollgateâ€. Okpokwu Ogenyi, leader of the pro-government protesters, said the EndSARS protesters were mobilised to blackmail the Buhari administration. “We shall no longer keep quiet while unscrupulous elements are trying to blackmail the Buhari government,†he said. Some of the protesters said they did not know why they were brought to the Unity Fountain, TheCable reported. Hadisatu, one of the protesters, said she did not know why she was brought to the protest venue, but that she had gone to pray and was brought there after he prayers. When asked if she was paid to be there, she said, “it’s when we go that we will be paidâ€. Also Joy, another protester, said one Miss Bello asked her to show up, adding “I don’t why I am hereâ€. On October 20, 2020, soldiers reportedly opened fire on protesters campaigning against police brutality at Lekki tollgate in Lagos. 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 â€phantom massacreâ€. Nigerians poured into the streets in Lagos, Abuja and other places today to mark the first anniversary of the EndSARS protest. Police, Wednesday, arrested several peaceful and unarmed EndSARS memorial protesters for marking the first anniversary of the alleged massacre at the Lekki Toll Plaza. No pro-Buhari protester was arrested at the Unite Fountain, we gathered. Via TheCable
