Reno Omokri, an aide of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has revealed that the Nigerian Government is trying to silence the survivors of ‘Lekki massacre’ by offering each of them N5 million to stay quite.
KanyiDaily had reported how Nigerian Soldiers opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate, killing unconfirmed number of persons and injuring so many others on Tuesday night, October 21, 2020.
Following the incident, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said that there was no record of fatality in the shooting incident at Lekki Toll Gate.
The Nigerian Army had also denied deploying soldiers to the scene, adding that videos showing soldiers opening fire on the protesters were untrue as it was photoshopped.
However, Reno Omokri in a tweet on Wednesday, said he spoke with some of the survivors who revealed to him that some government officials are offering them N5 million bribe each.
“#LekkiMassacre survivors told me that before they got into the safe house, they received calls from government officials offering them ₦5,000,000 each to walk away and forget the incident. How they got their numbers, they don’t know. They have details of these calls #EndSARS,” he wrote.
