A lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, has filed N10bn fundamental rights suit against the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen.

Tukur Buratai, and 10 others over the shooting at #EndSARS protesters at Lekki tollgate in Lagos.

In the suit before the Federal High Court in Lagos, Ogungbeje is urging the court to declare that “the brutal shooting and killing and use of brute force against unarmed, defenceless and peaceful protesters/Nigerian citizens engaging in the #ENDSARS peaceful protest on October 20, 2020, at the Lekki tollgate was “illegal, unlawful, undemocratic, oppressive, wicked and unconstitutional.”

Ogungbeje wants the court to compel the defendants to “immediately pay N10bn compensation to the all the victims of the mindless shooting and brutal killing at Lekki tollgate.” Apart from Buhari and Buhari, also joined as defendants in the suit are the Federal Government, the Nigerian Army, Chief of Defence Staff, Inspector-General of Police; Nigeria Police Force; State Security Service; Director-General, SSS; Lagos State Government; Attorney General of Lagos State; and the Attorney General of the Federation.All rights reserved.

Is the court that will sit over this case on Nigeria or outside? This is a case of no need as far as Nigeria and our political gladiators are concerned.

Your case and claims will die natural death on arrival except the identities of the mortals are known and identify by the relatives. Don't forget that autopsy must be conducted and findings on d corpses reveal. Prepare to establish your case wit d right witnesses & exhibits

Lol 😂 😂 😂 this country nawa 🤭 😂

They should resign and be prosecuted.

What is ₦10bn compare to the soul that are lost. All these lawyer self, they are part of problems in the country. We want the perpetrators to face world criminal court.

lawyer I hope u will ask ur principal (EndSARS protesters) to also take care of the family of the six police men that they killed and also those at the hospital.. what is good for those that are said to have being killed by the Amry is also good for those police men.

Meanwhile, follow 4 follow if we ain't friends on twitter EndSARS WE MOVE ✊

I swear 10bn is too small for the victims... It should be raised

10bn can you buy life with that? EndSars

Suing the government won't bring back the young and strong youth of Nigeria that were publicly murdered in cold blood What we want is justices for them, the people who ordered the killing should be brought to book and should pay for their wickedness peridot! EndSARS

10bn for what? That's not JUSTICE people need to answer questions, some people needs to resign, fire and prosecuted. Pls let's be led

10bn is to small to compensate, the government needs to feel it in their guts, make it 80billion

We don't need their money, they will face the law and go to jail.

Can N10bn bring back life's ? No. First Buratai and buhari needs to resign and prosecuted for mass murder. This country should be nobody is above d law...then later run you can talk on how to compasate the families of thoes that were murder grusomely

The family of the victims needs to be properly compensated. They deserve it. Go give them accolades
