About the Lekki Toll Gate Tragedy
By LUCAS BASHIR
Since morning, I have been trying my best possible effort to get the identity of those who allegedly lost their lives yesterday. It should be understood that this is to authenticate the information one would disseminate and not a service to the government nor an attempt to debunk what happened between soldiers and protesters in Lekki.
Also, some people are unhappy because we have clarified that some people who were said to have died did not die. We were insulted for this patriotic service. Little do these people know how many lost sleep and the number of those in sorrow upon hearing the news of their loved ones.
WHAT WE CAN CONFIRM
Steve ABBEY did not die. His picture was circulated yesterday on twitter. He debunked the story himself. He is fine.
Eniola Badmus was allegedly shot in the stomach yesterday. The news is untrue, Eniola was not shot and is very fine.
Onyiye Francis has made clarification on a post by Yemi Alade about a man carrying a dead lady wrapped in Nigerian flag. She said that it was a movie they acted themed, “Heal our land, OH LORD!
Iraoya Godwin said he didn’t die and there was a mix-up
Comrade Anthony Okechukwu did not die at the protest ground. He was not shot by the soldiers. He died in a motorcycle accident.
What we can substantiate is a news report from Punch. Lagos State Government, Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited the victims who were injured. You can check here:

Please, If you have names of people who died and their pictures, forward them them Lucassamson24@gmail.com. Fake news kills faster than bullets.
You can insult me till I expose fake news against you.
Claim: The Nigerian army went away with the dead bodies?
Question: How many families have reported their people at the protest missing?
Note: THIS IS NOT IN DEFENSE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND NOT TO DEBUNK WHAT HAPPENED AT LEKKI TOLL GATE…
This IS FACT-FINDING
