Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has stated that the barracks of the soldiers who opened fire on protesters at Lekki toll gate have been identified.
Speaking when he appeared as a guest on ARISE TV on Monday, October 26, Falana, said the Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 And Beyond (ASCAB) has been able to trace the barracks where the soldiers came from.
He said;
The President was likely to have been told, soldiers were ordered so I want to believe that’s why it was not addressed and they said it was a rumour but I think the facts are emerging now, that indeed soldiers went to Lekki, indeed they fired at protesters and indeed some of the protesters at least two have been officially acknowledged to have died from gunshot wounds.”
He said ASCAB would establish an independent panel of inquiry to investigate the October 20 shooting of protesters at Lekki toll plaza.
