Following the approval to reopen Lekki Tollgate by Judicial
Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos State government to investigate the
October 2020 Lekki shooting incident, many Nigerians have taken to Twitter to
protest that those who carried out the alleged shooting of innocent citizens
must face the law before Lekk tollgate can be reopened.
The #OccupyLekkiTollGate which is another wave of protest
against injustice and government’s silence over the Lekki shootings is
scheduled to kick off on 13th February 2021, according to Twitter sources.
The nine-man panel returned the control of the tollgate to
the Lekki Concession Company, the operators, on Saturday.
The company, through its counsel, had been praying the panel
to allow it to take over the plaza for repair and insurance claims since
December 2020.
Over the last four months, an outpouring of support for
Nigerian protesters has played out on Twitter, with various hashtags, but
predominantly #EndSARS. Speaking against the reopening of Lekki tollgate where
a countless number of youths were said to have been shot by security
operatives, human right activist, Omoyele Sowore, wrote on Twitter:
Other Twitter users also called for justice for those who
were killed during the EndSARS protest Below are some Tweets:

After killing our brothers and sisters at Lekki toll gate, they want to give the former Chief of Army of staff Buratai immunity by appointing him Ambassador.

Re-opening of Lekki Toll Gate is the govt saying "forget it, that one has passed". But what they don't know is that youths are determined to get justice.
