EndSARS: Sanwo-Olu asked to suspend mass burial for victims' families to identify corpses | TheCable
103 corpsesIn a statement on Wednesday, the coalition said the government should conduct a dignified burial for the victims after they have been identified by their families and loved ones.
“The coalition of #EndSARS protesters and supporters, national and globally are horrified by the planned mass burial of 103 protesters and civilians who tragically lost their lives in the October 2020 state-sponsored violence and murder at the Lekki Toll Gate, and the callous and insincere statement by the Lagos state government in response to the leaked memo approving the contract for the mass burial,” the statement reads.
“#EndSARS protesters and investigative journalists are convinced that many people died at Lekki Toll Gate. The report of the Judicial Panel set up by Mr Sanwo-Olu, established there was a massacre at Lekki Toll Gate, and pages 297 & 298 of the report clearly name nine people that were killed, with four more missing, but presumed dead.
