There have been reactions on social media after a video posted by CNN countered the claims of the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwoolu, and the Nigerian army about the shootings that took place at Lekki Toll gate some weeks ago during a peaceful protest against Police brutality

The governor had said that only one person died during the shoot-out , while the Nigerian army said they didn’t fire live bullet against the protesters.

However , an exclusive video has shown that people were shot and killed on the spot, as against the earlier claims by the governor and Nigerian army

I've cried too much today from watching the CNN videos, watching the joyful videos from the protests, and the interviews I conducted with eyewitnesses who experienced the #LekkiMassaccre. No one should suffer loss of lives from demanding an end to state-sanctioned killings.

Seeing CNN break down the news of the #LekkiMassaccre is what the Nigerian Government have been fighting the Social Media Space for, the #EndSARS protest has shown the World their Wickedness thats why they despise us.

We have just begun regardless 💪
