ENDSARS: Reactions Trail What Obi Said About Those Who Were Killed At Toll Gate On October 20, 2020

Social media users have reacted to a statement shared by Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the NDC, on his official X account on October 20, 2026, regarding the deaths recorded at the Lekki Toll Gate during the #EndSARS protests.

Obi made the statement to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the #EndSARS demonstrations, which took place in different parts of Nigeria on October 20, 2020. The protests were organised by young Nigerians who demanded an end to police brutality and called for better governance.

In his message, Obi reflected on the sacrifices made by Nigerian youths during the demonstrations. He noted that many young people paid a heavy price for speaking out and demanding good governance, adding that the country would continue to remember the events of that day.

The former presidential candidate also stressed the need for Nigeria to become a country where citizens can freely demand accountability, good governance, and a brighter future without facing punishment for exercising their rights.

“On that fateful night, peaceful #EndSARS protesters were met with gunfire. Lives were lost, many were injured and the nation was left with questions about justice, accountability, and the sanctity of human life”.

Following the publication of his statement, several social media users took to the platform to express their opinions about his remarks and the events surrounding the Lekki Toll Gate incident.

Some users shared their reactions in the comment section, with screenshots of their responses accompanying the original report.
