The curfew was to start by 4pm but was shifted to 9pm by the State Government. By 6:45pm, the Nigerian Army began their maiming of Nigerians. Unprovoked, they fell unarmed civilians for simply calling for EndSARS and EndPoliceBrutality LekkiMassacre will not be in vain.

This video will help. We must EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA ReformNigeria our leaders must be accountable, they have failed us and looted our national wealth, the masses are hungry and angry, no infrastructure, no quality education and healthcare, no jobs for the youth.
