Tuesday night, the 20th day of October 2020 was called Black Tuesday because of what many believe to be the killing of peaceful protesters at Lekki toll gate.
DJ switch was showing live feeds and many celebrities were reported to have been killed. With the sound of gunfire at the background, there was no reason not to believe what they were saying.
As a result of that news, it was termed the Lekki massacre. Those who heard the news were stunned. Reaction began to pour in and without thinking the GTB, ZEnith and Polaris bank close to the venue were reported to have been set ablaze.

Not satisfied with that, they proceeded to the toll gate and set it ablaze. All of that happened that same night. By the next day many other buildings and businesses were to go down.

First let us start with the definition of what a massacre is, the Oxford dictionary defines it as "an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people." Usually at the end of a massacre, dead bodies litter everywhere and there would be enough blood on the ground to leave trails of the events that had happened there.

Even though the dust at Lekki toll gate is yet to settle, only the following facts can be ascertain.

1: Earlier inn the day, some security camera were removed, however, the governor says only the etag barcode scanners and not CCTV cameras were removed.
2: The lights were turned off
3: Soldiers arrived at the venue just before dawn
4: Soldiers asked protesters to go home and started shoot (the question is, did they shoot to kill or shoot to scare?)
5: People got injured (So far no evidence of injury from gunshots, the injuries could have been as a result of the ensuring stampede)
6: The injured people were taken to the hospital
7: The governor immediately went out to visit the hospital and undertake an on-the-spot assessment to determine the immediate and remote cause of the incident
8: The governor in a state wide broadcast came out to state that no one died as a result of the shooting. He would later come out to say that one person died at the hospital as a result of the complications in the injuries he had.

Those are the facts as I remember them. Next are the fiction or fake news

Fiction or fake news No. 1: That there was a massacre.
Verdict: Massacre will result in a blood bath, in a place like lekki, it cannot be hidden

Fiction or fake news No. 2: Eniola Badmus dies as a result of the shooting.
Verdict: She came out herself to debunk the news

Fiction or fake news No. 3: Then there was a picture of a lad carrying a lady wrapped in the nation's flag
Verdict: It turned out to be a drama acted on independence day titlled "Heal Our Land Ooh Lord" acted by NCCF Akwa Ibom (I would love to watch it if anyone has a link to the drama)

Fiction or fake news No. 4: Many other images of dead people with names
Verdict: Many of those people have come out themselves to say that not only are they alive some of them claimed not to have even be there that night

Fiction or fake news No. 5: Soldiers were shooting directly at protesters
Verdict: This is the one that I wanted to verify as much as possible, but the video that I watched was of soldiers shooting into the air. I haven't found any other video showing otherwise. And let's think of it, if those shots were directed at the protesters, there would have been real massacre because the protesters would have had no cover because of the way the toll gate is. With the number of gunshots heard, Protesters would have been falling one by one. So far no concrete evidence to show or confirm that was what happened other than the commentary of people who were probably exaggerating, emotional or trying to blow their sense of self-worth out of proportion.

Fiction or fake news No. 6: Pictures of dead people covered in Nigerian flag
Verdict: Many of those pictures were pictures of dead people from other incidents and not at the Lekki toll gate. Some of them showed that they happened during the day whereas anything "Lekki toll gate massacre" would be at night.

The reaction after that unverified news has left Lagos wondering, What Really happened?

In all of these, let us all appeal for calm. #Endsars does not mean we should destroy the few legacies we have.

WHAT ARE U SAYING

WAS THE PROTEST PEACEFUL??
IS IT LEGAL TO DEPLOY THE MILITARY THERE ?

another political jobber. pls do not engage them. it is called gaslighting

what Jide and the government is doing through the fake news and lies is called GASLIGHTING
Gaslighting: is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes, including low self-esteem. Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's beliefs.
Jide can deny all you want but the struggle has just begun.
they should be ready to kill us all
Nigeria must be better

Hmmmm who found that word

Who have time to respond to this useless thread.

Thank you my brother. Truth will always prevail.


Let's pause & think. Did @jidesanwoolu
lie? Did anyone die at the protest ground? Where are the dead? Where are their families? Were there shootings? Yes. Injured? Yes. Massacre? No! Did we fall for a lie that gave room for the destruction of Lagos?

How come you never mentioned the wounded people?

If soldiers shot into the air, why do we have injured Protesters with gunshot wounds?

Clearly noted in fact point No. 5 & 6

mrsage:

THis issue need to be clarified for real.
Yes, there was shooting. Wrong move.
But was there a mass killing as the media hyped it?
The evidences are still sketchy even almost 48 h after.
I fell for it, big time if it was a ruse.
I shed tears that night .

Thank you very much for your unbiased submission.


First off, protesting in the night? Big red flag. I mean, which legitimate cause is being agitated for in the night? It doesn't make any... sense.

Secondly, if people have died as a result of the militarys' gunshots, it would almost be impossible to hide evidence. Not in a place like Lekki.

Where are the corpses?

It (fake news) spreads fast because people want to imagine the scenario acting out real, so they kind of imagine it and so they believe it to be true, which would fuel justified wanton looting.

One hoodlum that night is probably going, "ah ah, they are shooting, hmm, so they must have killed somebody"

It's just the human way of justifying what it would otherwise have done. Even if the massacre happened, it is to be expected. If you put your life on the line for Nigeria or any country, expect to poof at anytime.

I didn't not for a second.

Are you minding the barggar.

mrsage:

Is there not a difference between wounded and massacred?


Massacred = Multiple deaths

Wounded = You are still alive.


I don't think it's just fake news, education is part of the problem.

Who paid you?

edoairways:

Who paid you?

Like, are you being willfully stupid or what?

Who paid me to believe there was no massacre? Absence of facts.

Show proof bro. Let's see the proofs you have got that there was a massacre. Stop believing empty talks.

This is the case of Delphidus and Julian the Emperor. Delphidus accusing another person about what he couldn't prove.

"Oh, illustrious Caesar!" he said, " if it is sufficient to deny charges, what will become of the guilty?” to which Julian the Emperor replied, “If it sufficient to be accused, who can be innocent?”

You are the paid propagandist. Believing hook, line and sinker without a shred of proof.


Besides, does military clampdown, if at all there was killing, warrant the slew of lawlessness and wickedness perpetuated by these so-called miscreants?

Thank you so much for your submissions.

I fell for it big time but was surprised when the very next morning, watching Arise TV correspondent at the sceen of the incident, I never saw any blood on the ground that you'll ordinarily see in a massacre(mind you, Lekki is tarred not bare ground), and even when there was a drone view of the particular area. That was when it occurred to me that it was all social media fake news.

Yes, there were injuries, but death, I doubt very much.

Now my question is this,
Why are people blaming Gov Sanwo-Olu knowing fully well he had no authority over the army. These same people never blamed Gov El Rufai when the army killed over 350 shites in Kaduna or nobody blamed Abia state Gov when this same Buratai took Operation Crocodile smile to the east to kill people. Why are they now blaming a Gov who identified with the protesters and also took their letter to the president who did nothing? Why blame a Gov who made sure no police harrassed the protesters.

2. Why the planned attack on Asiwaju Tinubu?
I am forced to ask this particular question because we all know Asiwaju has been demonized by a particular section of the country since GEJ lost the 2015 presidential election.
They don't know planned attack on Asiwaju's companies will not directly affect him but the thousands of Nigerians employed in those organizations. The ripple effect of this destructions are that million will go hungry very soon.

Thank you for the write up. It was all ataged. Nothing happened at the toll gate. I advice that those behind the drama should be fish out and punished seriously

I didn't believe it even for a micro-second.

48 hours later and still no names or photos of the massacred victims.

Still don't know anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who was massacred.

DamnaDamnall these fake news peddlers.

Even the so called celebrities are the worst people in this crisis.

Chasing clout and recognition. Posting fake news without verification.

All this is rubbish.

It is much much much easier to mention the names and identities of the dead who were "massacred" than giving us some tutorials on cameras and gadgets.

Just save yourself all the trouble and give 2 names.

Ogbeni we can decipher that you are an E-Thug. If you like try and speak subtly or try and carry out irrational analysis, we know what you are.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/10/20/nigerian-security-forces-use-live-fire-to-disperse-protesters

This is a link to Aljazeera posting videos taken by various people showing the soldiers shooting at the protesters.

There are also numerous livestreams showing people with bullet injuries. We also have numerous confirmed eyewitnesses that have said soldiers killed protesters and packed some corpses to destroy evidence.

I don't need to post 1 billion links, the truth is out there for those who want to see it. It's only deranged people and paid agents that are still contesting the massacre at this point.

Soon satellite videos of the massacre will be released, even then you people will still contest it but we all know you are all deranged.

Darkeness will never win over light, the people will win this battle and liberate this country and there is nothing you E-Thugs will do about it.

UbongCR7:
Thank you for your submissions.
I fell for it also.
But from happenings of the following days, it appears the events were exaggerated.

There was no massacre.

If the soldiers were aiming at protesters, death toll wouldn't have been here.

Now, people have brought the angle of soldiers taking dead bodies away but we haven't seen anyone that has come out to say his brother is missing from the lekki shoot out?

The thing is, people are very emotional at this point and I won't want to argue with emotional beings at all.

Let them be
The clarity that comes with hindsight will catch up with all of them.

Well said..

Truely alot of folks including those abroad fell headlong for these fake news. May God judge all those behind this.

I also blame the Security personnel for 'falling for this trap' by not acting with utmost care & professionalism.

Something that Hillary Clinton n United Nations fell for and you are talking...
