Nigerians are returning to the scene of the 2020 #EndSARS protest, which turned violent when Nigerian soldiers opened live rounds on young protesters at Lekki Tollgate, killing about 10 and injuring scores. Three years later, a peaceful walk to the tollgate was planned, with buses available at the Oriental Hotel. The protest has become synonymous with bloodshed and deaths, with Amnesty International criticizing the Nigerian government for detaining some protesters without trial for three years. A year after the incident, a Lagos government panel confirmed the massacre and recommended disciplinary actions against the Nigerian Army.
