The Attorney General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice, 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.
Speaking with journalists on Monday, November 2, in Abuja, the AGF said investigation is underway to ascertain what truly happened at the Lekki tollgate.
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,” he said.
