Nigerian rapper, Falz, has reacted to the indictment of the Nigerian Army and Police for the Lekki Massacre, which occurred on October 20, 2021.
On Monday, the Lagos judicial panel on police brutality delivered its report to the state administration.
It was presented to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Government House in Ikeja.

The panel presented two reports: a consolidated report on police brutality cases and an examination into the Lekki event.
“From the evidence of General A.I.Taiwo (Commander, 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Nigerian Army, Victoria Island, Lagos) on pages 6, 7, 21, 22, the Panel finds that the Nigerian Army fired both blank and live bullets at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, for the following reasons,” the panel concluded in its report.
Apart from uniformed soldiers, the Army left its base with vehicles, rifles, and firearms, all of which were loaded with live and blank rounds. On page 22, General Taiwo confessed that the Army arrived at the Lekki Toll Gate with live ammunition.
When the Panel went to the Lekki Toll Gate for its on-the-spot assessment on October 30, 2020, it found two bullet shells that were duly studied by Sentinel, the forensic expert hired by the Panel who is particularly familiar with weaponry used by the Nigerian Army.
These bullet shells were believed to be identical to or comparable to those used by the Nigerian Army, and they had expended shells, indicating that they were shot live at the Lekki Toll Gate.
In response, Falz attacked the Nigerian government in an Instagram story, labeling them as “animals” who made the youth question their sanity over the Lekki Massacre.
Falz added that the Lagos #EndSars had compiled their report, and everything is now more transparent.
He wrote: These animals legit made us doubt our sanity about the Lekki Massacre you know. Panel don compile their report an. We gather dey!
