The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed argues that the use of the word ‘massacre’ for the Lekki shooting during the October 2020 #EndSARS protest is debatable.
He made the remarks on Thursday during an interview session on Channels TV programme, Politics Today.
Datti’s words: “There was an abuse of human rights. There was abuse of procedure. And if some people interpret those as massacre, then yes.
“Now, these are well-meaning Nigerians who brought themselves out to a public area and were attacked by security forces that are meant to be protecting their lives and property.
“The use of massacre is highly debatable, but I can say for sure that there were abuses of procedure and there were civil rights violations.
