The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, has said it is likely that hoodlums wearing military fatigues — and not soldiers — shot #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020, at the Lekki tollgate, Lagos State.
Malami said it was “pre-emptive” to conclude that there had even been shootings, adding that “hoodlums” may have been hired to create a scene.
“You cannot rule out the possibility of perhaps hoodlums that set in to create a scene… could equally partake in the process,” Mr. Malawi stated .
The AGF also revealed that investigation is still underway to ascertain what truly happened at the Lekki tollgate.
