Senator Shehu Sani has said that the killing of the 103 EndSARS protesters in Lagos is one of the ‘’hidden atrocities” of the Buhari administration.
Sani stated this on Twitter this morning hours after a memo from the state government approving N61 million for mass burial of 103 persons killed during the October 20, 2020 EndSARS crisis, surfaced online.
Sani in his post referenced the killing of Shiite members in Kaduna state in 2015 and stressed that ‘’the spirit of the victims murdered in Kaduna and Lagos will haunt Nigeria for a long time until justice is done.”
His post reads
‘’In 2015,over a thousand members of the Islamic Movement were massacred in Zaria on the orders of the then military COAS and publicly supported by the then Governor of Kaduna State.The general public were encouraged through hateful propaganda to march and dance on the corpses of the victims and search for anything valuable in their pockets.
The bullet riddled and charred remains of the victims including women and children were reportedly buried in mass graves in Kaduna state.Their offence was simply that they ‘blocked the road against the Army chief.
The killing of the 103 EndSARS protesters in Lagos is one of the hidden atrocities of the Buhari era.The spirits of those murdered whether for ‘blocking’ the road in Zaria or ‘blocking’ the Lekki gate will continue to haunt this country and hang over its skies until justice is done.”
