Social Media On Fire As Security Men Kill Protesters At Lekki

Following the death of four persons and many others injured as security operatives opened fire on unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of Lagos, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their grief.

Recall NaijaNews earlier reported that security officials this evening reportedly opened fire on peaceful protesters that overstayed the 4 pm curfew declared by the Lagos State government.

If you know anyone there please tell them to move the injured people to the VI side!! The ambulances cannot be on the Lekki side because it's now full of hoodlums as well! They have to carry them to the VI side!!

What we’re seeing at Lekki Toll Gate today, is the nature of the army’s response in all parts of Nigeria. #EndSARS

If you have pictures or videos from what happened in Lekki tonight please put them on the cloud, share with people you trust. The idea is to decentralize our evidence collection and storage as much as possible.
We will not forget.

I cover DJ Switch and everyone still stuck in the darkness at Lekki toll gate with the blood of Jesus.

God over to you, the arm of man has failed us. It’s only you we know! You’re our refuge and our fortress.
Pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.

God we look to you😭
