The Mass Burial
It was earlier revealed that the Lagos governor has approved the mass burial of at least 103 protesters.
These Nigerians were ‘massacred’ at the Lekki toll gate.
They were killed by joint forces of the Nigerian Army and the police during the October 20, 2020 #EndSARS protest.
A letter shared online and dated July 19 reveals that the state government engaged the service of Messrs Tos Funeral Ltd, a private firm, for the mass burial.

This revelation has sparked outrage by Nigerians.
They have taken to Twitter to express their anger and frustration.
Many are particularly upset at the Lagos State Government following the initial denial of the killings by Governor Sanwo-Olu.
