The EndSARS movement, mostly peaceful, had turned to a blood field on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 when the personnel of the Nigerian Army went to the Lekki Tollgate area and opened fire on the crowds and peaceful protesters killing over 50 people and injuring others.

The soldiers from the 65 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Bonny Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos, reportedly killed and injured several demonstrators in Lagos during the peaceful protest on October 20, 2020.

A certain Lieutenant Colonel Bello Adamu, who was the Commanding Officer of the battalion, had reportedly led the soldiers to fire bullets at the scene. However, he claimed before the ongoing Lagos State Panel of Inquiry that he only fired blank ammunition into the air.

A day after the shootings, the Lagos State Governor Sanwo Olu had initially denied any loss of life from the gunfire or that he was aware of the deployment of soldiers. Later, he admitted that two persons were killed in the incident, while the army said in a terse statement that the state government requested a military clampdown on the protesters to enforce its earlier scheduled curfew.
