The minority caucus of the House of Representatives has called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to order the arrest and prosecution of soldiers who attacked #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate on Tuesday night.

The protesters were attacked by soldiers, who fired live ammunition at them after the Closed Circuit Television Cameras in the vicinity were reportedly removed and lights were turned off. The statement partly read, “As lawmakers and representatives of the people, we cannot accept this gruesome execution of our young ones in their own country by security operatives. Life is sacred and no one has the right to terminate the life of another just because he has the apparatus of state power.

“We, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately order the arrest and prosecution of officers involved in the Lekki killing as well as the withdrawal of soldiers from engaging protesters.”

Anabelmonie Please do we have Reps in Nigeria 🇳🇬, people who cannot challenge the president decisions for once’s. How many times you have called the presidency to order and he responded none?. You people should be ashamed to called yourself Reps. God mercy rebuild Nigeria 🇳🇬 my mother’s land

As far as I am concerned Buhari has the blood of those murderedin his hands and he, his household and all others involved will never know peace again until there is peace Nigeria

Like he didn’t send them!! He is the leader and ultimate responsibility lies with him

This can't be Buhari

Audio news na fake news too o.. you people think we don't know what's up..

🤔..is this is how they function, they send you out to battle, then prosecute you for carrying out the orders.. Ask the right questions, who gave these men the orders

David__Edu Lol prosecute them so they don’t say who gave the order

Reps of sided representation. What do we do with those killed, maimed, destroyed public and private properties, setting prisoners free?

Where is Buhari?

So they are now the patsy. Who gave the order?

You should be impeaching him.

This rep dey tire me, call for his f***ing resignation . Which one is prosecute, prosecute who? On whose orders did they commit it, are we now animals? endsars

The person who gave the commands should be prosecuted. They obey the last order and any refusal will be highly disciplined. But then, would they have shot at their family members if they saw them in the crowd despite what they were trained to do.

We've had enough of his nonsense, Mr. Man if u don't know what to do pls just take that pen and resign

Stop warning him

Someone gave the order... Why should they be prosecuted, when the person that gave the order should be executed? Stop twisting things. EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA EndSars

GoodeyPhyllis These Reps are also clueless. How can they think Buhari will prosecute men he directly or indirectly ordered to shoot unarmed protesters?

And who is going to prosecute him for ordering the massacre. The reps should just shut up, we don't care about their shit anymore. Werey wey dey disguise
