A petition by a socio-political activist, Reno Omokri
against President Muhammadu Buhari over the alleged massacre of EndSARS
protesters at the Lekki Tollgate during the October 20, 2020, protest, has
received over 73,000 signatures from Nigerians both home and abroad.
Recall that a leaked report by the Lagos Panel of Inquiry
set up by the State Government to investigate the allegations of killings at
the Lekki Tollgate during the End SARS protest had revealed that there was
massacre.
The report which emerged amid claim by the Federal
Government that the allegations were false and aimed at tarnishing the image of
the Buhari’s administration, had triggered controversies from Nigerians who
challenged the presidency to defend the report.
Following the report which is currently being studied by the
Lagos State government, the former presidential aide issued a petition on the
change.org platform against Buhari for allegedly ordering the Lekki shooting.
Taking a visit to the site on Friday morning, it was
observed that about 72,779 Nigerians have signed the petition which is directed
to the International Criminal Court – ICC, to prosecute the President over
alleged violation of the rights of Nigerian youths.
According to Reno, the petition will be submitted to the
President of the ICC, Piotr Hofmański after it receives 100k signatures.
He said, “By the grace of God, Buhari will retire to prison
in 2023 and all future Presidents will see that there is a consequence to the
mass murder of Nigerians by the state”.
