Bayo Adedosu, a Twitter user who describes himself as an IT
consultant, has offered a reward of N150,000 to anyone with evidence of
casualties from the Lekki tollgate incident.
Hours before a curfew was scheduled too begin, soldiers had
stormed the Lekki tollgate in Lagos on October 20 where protesters had gathered
and started shooting.
The Lekki incident has received widespread condemnation
within and outside Nigeria.
Although the army insists nobody was fatally injured as
blank bullets were shot into the air, there has been controversy over
allegations of casualties, with organisations such as Amnesty International,
insisting that people died of gunshot injuries.
Adedosu had initially announced a N50,000 reward via his
Twitter handle but later said two people had offered additional N100,000.
Some minutes after posting his initial tweet, Adedosu added that the reward had increased to N150,000 as two people had added N50,000 each.
“You must be ready to prove that you took the pictures, the pictures must have timestamp and be assured that you’re safe. The money has increased to 150k naira with 2 pple adding 50k each. This is not a joke. Let’s put a closure to this debacle today,” he wrote.

This is not a joke. Let's put a closure to this debacle today.
Meanwhile, Oladosu’s offer has generated diverse reactions,
with some users condemning his post, while others are offering to add to the
reward.
“The governor of Lagos admitted that people died and you are
here satisfying your paymasters. It’s very sad sha,” a Twitter user with the
handle, @AdedejiEsq, wrote.
