Army shot unarmed protesters in Lagos ‘massacre’ – leaked report

Judicial report on killings in Nigerian city in October finds 11 unarmed people were killed

A leaked judicial report has found that Nigeria's army and police shot and killed unarmed anti-police brutality protesters in October last year, before cleaning up the scene to remove evidence.

The report, submitted to the Lagos state government on Monday, was based on a year-long inquiry into abuses by police forces and the killings at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos. It found that 11 unarmed people had been killed and that a further four were missing and presumed dead. The report identified 48 casualties in total.
