Some Nigerians have kicked against the decision of the Lagos
State judicial panel of inquiry to reopen Lekki Toll gate.
The panel, probing the alleged
killing of End SARS protesters at the Toll Gate, approved the reopening of the
Toll Plaza and returned control to its owners, the Lekki Concession Company
(LCC).
However, some members of the panel, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa alongsid other three members of the panel,
Patience Udoh (representing civil society), Rinuola Oduola and Temitope
Majekodunmi (representing the youths) rejected the repossession and the
reopening of the plaza.
Some Nigerians also took to social media disagreeing on the
development.
According to them, the approval proved that justice will not
be served to those that died at the spot.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter:
@AbdulMamud01 “The vote to reopen the LekkiTollGate is the
last nail driven into the coffins of the brave ones who were murdered there on
20.10.20. May their blood continue to haunt the murderers.”
@Theogweofdelta “Lekki Tollgate must not resume operation
until Justice is served. In fact, that Tollgate should not be there anymore.
Abi which kind dirty rubbish I dey hear so?
@Emmanueldaniel “If the youths allow Lekki tollgate to be
reopened, then shame to all of us. Secondly, the blood of the innocent will not
forgive us. They still want their revenge.”
@Thomas Muller “We must stand for what is right this our
Government is trying to ruin the life of youth how can they open lekkitollgate
when justice is yet to prevail. My people we must stand as one.”
@MeStephenchidi1 “Any member of that panel should be
considered as betrayal and part of our killers for peeing on the blood of Lekki
tollgate #EndSARS protesters that where massacred!
Reopening the tollgate is the end of justice to the dead!
@Austinabolade “A judicial panel established by LASG
approved the re-opening of Lekki tollgate owned by (LCC) LASG. Are we expecting
a different outcome?
@Ikebobo1 “This goes a long way to tell us that in Nigeria
the word justice doesn’t exist.”
@Iammajordre “This is insensitive of them. That place should
be considered a memorial site and not a toll gate. Lives were lost.”
@Habeeblah2 “There’s absolutely nothing good coming out of
this rubber stamp Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry! Is this what they are meant
to do? Is this the justice the people clamoured for?”
