A protester among those attacked by soldiers yesterday at Lekki toll gate has been confirmed dead.

 

The confirmation was given by Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. He said one of the injured victims of Tuesday Lekki tollgate attack died in a Lagos hospital on Wednesday.

 

The governor disclosed this in a series of tweets on Wednesday shortly after he said in a state-wide broadcast that no life was lost in the Tuesday attack.

 

He tweeted, “Information reaching us now is that a life was lost at Reddington Hospital due to blunt force trauma to the head. It is an unfortunate and very sad loss.

 

Eyewitnesses have claimed that soldiers opened fire on #EndSARS protesters at the toll gate last night in a bid to disperse them.
