JUST IN: SERAP Calls For Arrest Of Killers Of #EndSARS Protesters – #LekkiMassacre—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the Socio-economic Rights and Accountabilty Project (SERAP) says it will file a court action against the President Muhamnadu Buhari administration on Wednesday over the latest revelation contained in the report of Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry which confirmed that operatives of the Nigerian Army and Police actually shot at protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.
This was made known by SERAP on Tuesday, seeking a court order mandating the President to apprehend the officials involved in shooting the protesters which led to 48 casualties.
“We’re suing the Buhari administration to compel it to immediately arrest the soldiers and police responsible for the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki-Toll Gate and pay reparations to victims.
“We’re filing the suit first thing tomorrow morning; so please indicate your interest ASAP,” SERAP tweeted.
The federal government is yet to comment on the Lagos panel’s report.
But the Lagos State government on Monday said it will forward the report to the National Economic Council for implementation.
The Army had told the panel that it only shot blank bullets at the protesters.
