The Nigerian Army has described as ‘photoshopped’ videos of military men shooting Nigerian youths who were protesting against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos State.
KanyiDaily had published videos showing Nigerian Soldiers opening fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate, killing about nine people and injuring so many others on Tuesday night, October 21, 2020.
