A year ago, it was reported that #EndSARS protesters were shot at by Nigerian army personnel at the Lekki Toll Gate, resulting in the deaths of several people.
"365 days ago, Nigerian citizens were shot and killed at the toll gate by our own military men," popular Nigerian musician and social crusader Folarin Falana, also known as Falz, tweeted on the first anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.
"Today, we honour them because they have given their lives for a cause that is greater than all of us." They will always have a place in our hearts."
"20th October!" wrote ace Nigerian actress Uche Jumbo on her verified Twitter account, marking the one-year anniversary of the tragic incident. It was a historic day! We will never forget!" #EndSARSMemorial #EndSARS
DJ Cuppy, a well-known disc jockey, simply tweeted, "We will NEVER forget!" #EndSARSMemorial #EndPoliceBrutality #FlagofNigeriaBrokenHeart "The 'lazy Nigerian Youth' are changing the country and sacrificing their own lives for future generations!!!" (sic)
Tems, a talented singer, tweeted last year to commemorate the tragic event, "The bullets, the blood, and tears." We will never forget what happened. #EndSARSMemorial.”
