On Tuesday night, Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos where unarmed youths have been protesting and demanding an end to police brutality turned to a killing field.
Blood of innocent Nigerian youths were spilled by soldiers.
There is pain in the land. Below are some reactions:
Dr. Joe Abah: “There is absolutely no justification for killing innocent citizens in the #LekkiMassacre. The government should focus on apprehending hoodlums that have tried to hijack the protests, not killing peaceful citizens that were holding the national flag & singing the national anthem.”

Reno Omokri; “Unarmed, peaceful protesters were singing the National Anthem and General Buhari’s soldiers still shot them? Buhari has lost legitimacy. How can you rehabilitate killer Boko Haram and devastate peaceful protesters and still expect to dominate in Abuja?”
Dipo Awojide; “Those young peaceful protesters did absolutely nothing to be slaughtered like that. Shame on you president Buhari. This is what you will be remembered for.”
Joshua Ubeke; “How do you shoot at unarmed protesters in one place? They were just situated in one place and not destroying anything. Tinubu was calling people last night to clean his name. We should not allow that man to escape. He should be ready to finish what he has started.”
Oyimzy Bred; “The NBC issued a memo to the media on their code of conduct on protest reportage.
The CCTV at Lekki toll gate was disconnected, the Lights were turned off & the Nigerian Army moved in, shot and killed protesters.
This was planned & well executed, shame!”
Sally Suleman; “Remember that we sent Ambulances there to pick up victims of bullet wounds and the Ambulance where not allowed in for some time. They delayed medical attention for peaceful protesters. PEACEFUL PROTESTERS!!!!”
Victor Frank; “The fight for a new Nigeria is never going to be easy. But we’ll keep fighting. We’ll never forget our fallen heroes and we can’t stop now too. The government is now an enemy of the people. The Nigerian revolution started yesterday.”
