The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for victims of SARS-related abuses and other matters on Monday presented its report which revealed that 11 protesters were killed at the Lekki Tollgate on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.
Four persons were declared missing while 24 others were injured that night.
Recall that in October 2020, young people across Nigeria took to the streets calling for disbanding an abusive police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and for ending brutality in a movement tagged #EndSARS. Security forces responded with excessive force, including gunfire, which resulted in death and serious injuries.
