Lekki Toll Gate — 20 October 2020 (the night itself)

The full Lekki sequence: at 18:45, the lights at the Lekki Toll Plaza went off and uniformed soldiers in two Hilux trucks arrived with rifles, opened fire on the protesters from approximately 30 metres' distance, and continued firing intermittently until 21:00. Cleaning vans were observed at the Toll Plaza on the morning of 21 October. The Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry (Justice Doris Okuwobi, chair) sat from October 2020 to October 2021 and admitted forensic, video and ballistic evidence; its 309-page Report (15 November 2021) found that 'the atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters, while they sang the National Anthem and waved the Nigerian Flag, can be equated to a massacre in context'. The Lagos State White Paper (December 2021) accepted 11 of the Panel's 32 recommendations but rejected the central finding. No serving officer has been charged before any court. The Lekki Toll Plaza was demolished and rebuilt in 2022; demonstrators have since been prevented from re-occupying the site.
