The Lagos Police Open Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, has clarified why tear gas was shot at nonconformists amid the #EndSARS dedication parade at the Lekki toll-gate on Thursday. Hundeyin clarified that the police let go of tear gas since of the activity building at the toll entryway after the parade stopped.

He said the police had to fire tear gas to scatter the swarm and calm traffic. The PPRO expressed this amid a meeting on Channels TV.

The parade was composed to stamp the moment commemoration of the lives misplaced amid the #EndSARS challenge of October 20, 2020, where security strengths purportedly shot at unarmed, quiet dissidents who met at the toll-gate.

He said, “Everything was going fine until they halted and began laying the coffins on the ground and all. They were doing all these and activity at the toll entryway was building. “We were required to guarantee that there was a free stream of activity within the region since the assertion was that the parade would not halt, that was why we terminated tear gas. After the swarm was scattered, no single canister of tear gas was fired again. “Right presently there’s a free stream of activity within the region and calm has been restored.” Responding to address the dissidents that were bolted up within the dark maria truck, the PPRO said they had all been discharged.

He said, “Some troublemakers needed to breach the peace within the range so they were picked up and bolted up within the van. But after everything had calmed down and the dissidents scattered they were all discharged. I can affirm that we have no one in our guardianship at the toll door now.”

He also said that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will be remembered in history as the first government that sent military officials to kill its citizens.

At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga.

“Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo has condemned the Nigerian government over the killing of unarmed End SARS protesters at Lekki toll gate on Tuesday in Lagos.”

“Sending the military to the streets to kill unharmful protesters because they are protesting for their right is uncalled for.

“Today, 20th of October 2020, you will be remembered in history as the first government that sent the military to kill its citizens.

“I’m ashamed of you guys, we’re tired of you guys and can’t take this anymore,” he said.
