Tinubu-Led Nigerian Government Must Disclose Identities Of EndSARS Protesters Due For Mass Burial – Amnesty International (AmnestyNigeria) | Sahara Reporters
The Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Isa Sanusi, made the demand on Monday in a statement obtained by SaharaReporters while reacting to a contract document on the mass burial by the Lagos State Public Procurement dated July 19, 2023, and addressed to the Lagos State Ministry of Health where it was indicated that the mass burial contract was over N61 million.
“They must also carry out transparent coroner inquests and autopsies on the 103 #EndSARS victims and publish their identities and the circumstances of their deaths. “All those detained because of their role in the #EndSARS protests must be immediately released. The Nigerian authorities must also ensure that victims and their families are provided with access to justice and effective remedies, including adequate compensation.”
It stated that “In October 2020, an on-the-ground investigation by Amnesty International confirmed that Nigerian security forces opened fire on thousands of peaceful protesters, who were peacefully calling for good governance and an end to police brutality, killing at least 12 protesters at Lekki toll gate and in Alausa.
