  Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), says the families of #EndSARS protesters killed by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate are afraid to speak out because they “understand the environment under which we operate”. He spoke on Wednesday at an ‘#EndSARS Zoom Meeting Global’ hosted by Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore. At the virtual meeting monitored by The PUNCH, Falana urged Nigerians and the international community not to believe the explanations offered by the Nigerian Army on the Lekki shootings. The Nigerian Army, after an initial denial, yesterday, admitted that its operatives were at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday, October 20, 2020. The military authorities also claimed they were invited by the Lagos State Government, noting that they acted within the rules of engagement. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, however, said the army has “a history of lies, fraud and deception” while making reference to the Shiites incident of December 2015. Falana said, “Nobody should beli...

  It could be recalled that just two days ago, the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) made a press statement condemning the killing of Mr. Ejike Okeke a student of IMT by a stray bullet from a careless security agent.  In that statement, we had called on the state governor and the father of Enugu state students to help secure justice for the dead student and compensate the bereaved family accordingly.  Is it not then worth commendation that the governor Ugwuanyi led administration has immediately swung into action, dispatching government delegation to pay condolences to all bereaved families of the endsars protest and initiating investigations geared towards identifying perpetrators of these crimes?  The state government has also gone further to demonstrate proactiveness by setting up a panel on victims of Endsars protest, to investigate and ascertain peculiar cases surrounding every victim of the protest and report for urgent governme...
