The Nigerian Army has denied deploying soldiers to attack #EndSARS protesters who assembled at the Lekki Toll Plaza.
Following multiple reports of rounds of gunshots aimed at #EndSARS protesters last night at the toll gate, the Nigerian Army via its official Twitter handle posted series of screenshots of such reports and tagged them “FAKE NEWS”.
Backstory
The protesters have been at the location for two weeks, shutting down the toll gate in a peaceful protest of police brutality, while demanding the scrapping of the notorious unit of the Police, Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS), and a number of reforms in the Police Force.
Yesterday, the Lagos State Government had issued a 24-hour curfew after violence broke out in several locations in the state, as hoodlums hijacked the protest to burn down police stations, assault innocent citizens and destroy properties.

The Nigerian Army is yet to roll out a robust press release to debunk the allegations leveled against the institution.
More details soon…
This is rubbish talk please. I can report to you that we are still hearing gun shots at the toll plaza even this morning of October 21, 2020. So if truly the Nigerian Army don’t know anything about the military massacre at the Lekki toll plaza on Oct 20, why is taking forever to respond to the blood thirsty military that are shooting sporadically even into the morning. All of you will not know peace.
Even with all the video proof?? Lol these people are savages.
So the videos recorded, who are those on the uniform? Are they not Nigeria army? End bad governance nd END Nigeria
