The All Progressives Congress (APC) is running ‘a murderous and oppressive regime as evidenced in the massacre of peaceful #EndSARS protesters in Lagos proves so, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Tuesday.
Recall that the army attacked peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos on October 20, 2020, in an aggressive attempt to dismantle the symbolic stronghold of historic demonstrations against police brutality.
Eyewitnesses reported numerous fatalities from the attack, but the government has run an aggressive counter-campaign insisting no one was killed by security agents.
A judicial panel of inquiry set up days after the shooting finally submitted its report on Monday, November 15, 2021, confirming the claims of eyewitnesses that a massacre happened.
The PDP said in a statement on Tuesday, November 16 that the current government has no regard for life, as it tried to cover up the incident.
“The report of the Lagos EndSARS panel, which confirms the massacre of Nigerian youths in Lekki, has further shown the APC and its government as bloody liars whose hands are stained with the blood of our innocent compatriots,” PDP spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said.
