They should release the bodies they took away.. The family needs closure. EndSARS LekkiMassacre

The facts are gradually trickling out.Surely,we shall get to the root of the matter.

I thought their Oga said it was criminals threatening them with travel ban. 🤣

Seriously

I thought their spoke person said it is fake soldiers ,Nigeria we hail thee.

SamuelDUKE1 So why were they lieing at first?

Hmm🤔

We know exactly what we are going to do, just pretend and say EndSARS

The fear of visa ban is the outburst of truth

LouieDi13 Invited by tinubu

And he was lying up and down

OK_KOLLY Forces beyond jidesanwoolu control said he's the one that involve them. People, who do we believe?

Visa ban loading

They killed our fellow youths that are fighting for the betterment of our great nation, their home will never seized from blood flow, Amen.

jidesanwoolu followlasg There is no point denying what you did. Own up and face the consequences.

Daily Trust ur content of the article do not tally with Title. Stop misleading us. Enough is enough

The truth is coming out small small.

Broken its silence or reverse its initial denial? Lies raising lies.😎

Aisha_yesuf Truth is like an oil. No matter how much water (lies) you pour on it. It will surely float on d surface. When you tell a lie, u will keep telling other lies to backup the one you have said before. It will become so large and complicated until u forget the ones you've said before

Aisha_yesuf follow me, No restrictions; no condition! GullienN I follow back ASAP💙

The lies in the statement are numbing. I can't even breathe properly from reading them. The import of the statement is that nobody died at the toll gate or the protesters shot themselves. This country is really a huge joke. The curfew was declared on Tuesday not Wednesday Pls.

akaebube Same Lagos state government that wants to investigate itself

The way they lie without recourse baffles me. Cheei!

After the Army had attempted to deny the entire incident, saying that her men weren't involved. There's nothing we wouldn't see in this part of the world.

What...? We need justice for the Arm force who's lost their lives during the so called endSaRs MOVEMENT

akaebube El o El

They didn’t break silence. They only just downloaded the soro soke app.

akaebube Why is Mr. Jide Sanwo-olu still presiding over the affairs of Lagos state? He should have tendered his resignation by now. Coward.

So why were they denying before? Abi dem no get shame? Buhari government can lie!

Kindly retweet this & I ll follow you ASAP, pls follow me back *We buy used diesel Generator Perkins Cummins Lister Peter's Danyo If you ve any whattsapp the pictures to us for negotiation. We sell used Generators too 12.5kva -2500kva 08038236695

So why the lies in the first place. Their innocent bloods will neva allow u to rest till divine justice is done coz I hv no trust in man’s justice. huntdemdown

What will happen to HQNigerianArmy spokesperson that came on air claiming the online footages were photoshop. He needs to apologize to Nigerians. EndSARS EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA

There was fire at ikoyi link bridge and there was massacre at lekki toll which means nobody can go in and out. How did jidesanwoolu managed to get to the hospital that mid night to check on the injured victims they claimed he gave 500,000 cash to, that refused to collect?

They are coming closer to the TRUTH.

Governors don't control the Millitary

EndSARS End1999ConstitutionNow We move....

God will cause all of you to expose yourselves

We are getting there JusticeForLekkiVictims EndSARS EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA WeWillNeverForget LekkiMassacre LekkiTollGateShooting

Oya jidesanwoolu can you please give a reply to this by the HQNigerianArmy because you said you know nothing about this

Church Agbasa go, do we need to go Native doctor to tell uus who sent them

Who ordered the shooting? And pls provide the bodies for proper burial.

EndSARS ENDBADGOVERNMENT Nigerian should drag Lagos State government to ICC for killing human innocent protesters. I hate rubbish.

Boxed to a corner. Next they'll have to produce the disappeared bodies

I know the Gov will enter Shalaye FC by the way he goes about this issue! You already had a panel in place, why the need to preempt its outcome!

Please someone should explain to me if 'to contain curfew' means the same as' to kill the EndSARSProtesters'. May the blood of the innocent, unarmed youths be on them and their descendants. endbrutality endinjustice Endbadgovernance EndInsecurity

Army too has turn to Police... Too much Lies...... PHOTOSHOP....... INTERVENTION..... NO SHOOTING.... NOBODY DIES..... ONLY TWO BODIES..... NO BLOOD STAINS...... LIES.. LIES... LIES

The Camel's is broken.

We will hear different versions of story, but we all know who gave the order

Yadda zakaga massage din da aka turo maka kafin ka karanta aka goge a kowane social media

Our enemies are here 👇God will punish them..

That's good reaction and timely

We already understand that, but who gave the order for the shooting? That exactly is what we want to know.

Lagos state govt please react. followlasg

ayemojubar Mtscheww

bafem210 And to think that sanwoolu came out and pretended like he didn't know anything about this. My Goodness!

I knew right from the outset that JagabanBullionVan's grovelling lapdog, despicableSanwo Olu had a hand in the gruesome massacre,considering how he repeatedly lied about the casualties. If he's human, he ought to resign & wait for his date with the ICC,for crime against humanity.

adigunojosipe You are wasting your time, the whole world know the truth of what happened at LekkiMassacre

Sanwoolu panicked, called his baba who initiated the call to Burantai, Burantai called in the military with agreement with Sanwoolu to kill his citizens, they agreed on 9pm but Burantai beat him to the time after consulting with Buhari, a man who lives mean nothing to. Hum, nice!

81 division is military police not even ordinary army that they sent.

This leaders nawah. Trading blame,hmmm let see how it ends......

jidesanwoolu said it was forces beyond his power, HQNigerianArmy initially said it was a photoshop video, another story again. Who do we believe here? This guys are confusing themselves not we. Because we know what we want. EndSARS

Then who order the shooting?

jidesanwoolu apa omolomo jaye!! Let hear your own version now! SoroSoke SoroSokeGeneration LekkiMassacre BadGovernanceInNigeria blood suckers. Get ready to move the seat over to Hamzat.lshaofficial make the move now before it is too late. jidesanwoolu killed our children.

Getting closer to the truth,Let them provide the bodies of the fired peaceful protester.

The governor invited them and must answer for it. The person who gave the order and those who shoot peaceful protesters must also be held accountable. Justice must be served on everyone involved in this crime.

But Lagos state govt said he is not aware of the soldiers deployment and he don't know who ordered them, it seems all these people believe Nigerians are foolish

To me 4 pple 2 even agree that there was shootng or massacre it means u buy in 2 this lies being spread without any shred of evidnce 2 support z claim, it means pple must be stupid 2 agree or buy in2 this lies, because how can you believe a narrative which is lacking credibility

Hmmm

Small small.........

jidesanwoolu just set up judicial panel for himself There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed

That’s why I don’t show sympathy over Lagos state government over the incident that happens. Surely either Tinubu or Sanwo Olu Ask army to crush innocent unarmed peaceful protesters at lekki toll gate. They can’t denied it.

Hmmn ..

Tell them óò there bodies most be provided oo, They deserved proper burials LekkiMassacre ForeverInOurHearts

At least for the first time we are hearing names not denials

Tell us how many people you killed. The word 'intervene ' will now be the bone of contention

Normalcy returns to Lekki area of LagosWe are a quality, national, newspaper with credible and dependable information. Yes, I can testify to that, Normalcy has returned back to Lekki toll gate, infact I'm very happy seeing commuters moving free without fucking toll fees. This is what we want, Nigeria should be a place convenient place for her citizens not a hell Obviously the lekkimassacre was supposed to be their smoking gun in this bizarre plot against govt but like all badly written scripts, the loopholes are too much to cover which is why even their Influencers are in a ''Hush Mode''. Otherwise, proofing a massacre is not too hard. ⛔I will FOLLOW Back 💯%⛔
