On his orders, the troops returned to their Base but suffice to state that, that singular act turned the hitherto peaceful protest into wanton violence and arson, looting, killings as well as destruction of properties. The ensuing encounters over a period of 2-3 days after the Lekki Toll Gate incident between hoodlums that hijacked the hitherto peaceful protest and security agencies led to several death of civilians and security agents. The ensuing riot quickly spread across several States of the Federation with more ferocity, arson, looting and human casualties no doubt. While agreeing with the economist that the Nigerian Government must investigate who authorized the movement of troops to the Toll Gate in the first place and sanction all those that were involved appropriately, I reject the false narrative of massacre of peaceful protester by Nigerian Government security forces at Lekki Toll Gate on the night of 20 October, 2020.
