The Labour Party’s (LP) vice-presidential candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed argues that it is questionable whether the Lekki shooting during the #EndSARS protests qualifies as a massacre.

On Thursday, October 20, Datti said during an appearance on a Channels Television program that there had been instances of procedural abuse and civil rights violations during the demonstration.

He said;

“There was abuse of human rights, procedures and if some people interpret it as massacre, then yes. However, massacre has different technical meanings. I can’t say I know all of it.

“First of all, no advance notice was given before the attack. The victims must have been attacked in their own areas.

“These are well-meaning Nigerians who brought themselves out in the public area and were attacked by security forces who are meant to be protecting their lives and properties.

“The use of ‘massacre’ is highly debatable, but I can say for sure that there were abuses of procedures and civil rights violations.”
