Comedian Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has reacted to the report of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses.
The Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel had on Monday, November 15th, submitted its report to the Lagos State Government.
In the 309-page document titled “Report of Lekki Incident Investigation Of 20th October 2020”, the panel revealed that at least 48 protesters were either “shot dead, injured with bullet wounds or assaulted by soldiers.”
“The atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters, while sitting on the floor and waving their Nigerian flags, while singing the National Anthem can be equated to a massacre in context.
“It was alleged and corroborated that the soldiers had their vans parked at the Lekki tollgate and removed as many bodies and corpses of the fallen protesters, which they took away with their vans.
“Panel also finds that the shooting of the protesters by the Nigerian Army at the Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020, was unwarranted, excessive, provocative and unjustifiable in the circumstances of the state of the protests, which were peaceful and orderly,” the report read in part.

Reacting to the revelation, Mr Macaroni on Tuesday tweeted “They were always asking where the survivors and families of the victims were. So make them kill them the way dem kill others, abi?
“All of you that defended this barbaric act should know that one way or the other, there will be a day of reckoning.
“The same panel that the government set up has presented their findings. Except you people don’t have faith in your own judicial system.
“Since last year, we have seen numerous gaslighting and lies! The truth always prevails and that truth is the #EndSARS Movement.
“Those that have been speaking the truth since 20/10/20 are still saying the same thing till this very day.
“Go and check the statements of Government reps or their supporters. It’s from one lie to the other. Now they are fighting themselves. Everlasting confusion for the wicked.”
