See What The Youths Are Planning To Do Over Reopening Of Lekki Tollgate
iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Some youths have threatened to protest at the Lekki tollgate over plans to reopen it for operations.
This online news medium gathered that the youths have started to mobilize via social media with #RevolutionNow and #OccupyLekkiTollGate trending as number one and three on Twitter.
As of 11 am, some of the youths shared Display Pictures and banners to create awareness about the protest.
Information on the posters showed that the protest is planned to start at 7 am on Saturday, February 13, 2020.
Some of the posters have inscriptions such as “No justice, no reopening”, and “Occupy Lekki tollgate” among others.
iexclusive News Nigeria recall that Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki tollgate had, on Saturday, approved the reopening of the tollgate.
However, four out of the nine members of the panel faulted the report of the forensic experts hired to comb the scene for evidence.
The four members who faulted the forensic report also rejected the application by the Lekki Concession Company, operator of the Lekki tollgate, to take possession of the facility, which had been shut down since the probe of the shootings started.
The four members who rejected the forensic report are the two representatives of the civil society – Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN) and Ms. Patience Udoh; as well as the two youth representatives on the panel – Rinu Oduala and Temitope Majekodunmi.
But the chairman of the panel, retired Justice Doris Okuwobi, and four other members of the panel acceded to LCC’s request to repossess the tollgate.
The chairman was backed by Segun Awosanya (popularly known as Segalink), Oluwatoyin Odusanya (Director, Citizens Rights), DIG Taiwo Lakanu (retd.) (representing the police) and Lucas Koyejo (from the National Human Rights Commission).
One of the campaigners, Omoyele Sowore, tweeted, “No to the reopening of #Lekkitollgate, the perpetrators of #LekkiMassacre must be brought to book.”
This is Nigerians reaction to his tweet;
#RevolutionNow No to #Lekkitollgate if @jidesanwoolu @followlasg are desperate for toll revenue, let them toll @AsiwajuTinubu’s Bourdilon home in Ikoyi, there is plenty of traffic there , they can make a lot of revs from political jobbers trooping in & out #EndSARS #BuhariMustGo pic.twitter.com/Um8AeSfZBU

The ICC,I know, is working on the 20/10/2020 massacre.Nigerians should file petitions to the intending destinations of the ambassador designates to declare them persona non grata,even before they get there.They must face judgement for crimes against humanity.
