What began as a peaceful protests has resulted in genocide as piles of death bodies of peaceful protesters litter the streets of Nigeria.
Yesterday night was a sad Tuesday night as peaceful protesters were heavily shot at by men of the Nigerian soldiers who came in armored tanks and fire live rounds on unarmed protesters at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos state.

The genocide shooting comes shortly after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced an extension on the curfew time he had earlier imposed from 4pm to 9pm.
It is not known the actual number of casualties at the time of this report however, many protesters that were injured are receiving treatments in a Lekki hospital.
They are shooting at peaceful protesters in Lekki! People who were not armed and not violent. These actions are unforgivable and unconstitutional. #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/9fWCnUvuz1
