Olusegun Ogboye, permanent secretary for Lagos state health ministry confirmed the letter in a statement but denied reports the bodies were linked to the shooting at Lekki tollgate, which was occupied by protesters.

In Lagos on Wednesday afternoon, traffic flowed through the Lekki tollgate, where young people demonstrating against police brutality were gunned down by security forces in 2020.

The nationwide #EndSARS protests, which garnered global attention, led to police opening fire on peaceful protesters and killing at least 15 people at Lagos’s Lekki tollgate.

Demonstrators in peaceful protests against police brutality were themselves shot dead by security forces in 2020 as they sang and waved the flag by a tollgate in Lekki, an upmarket Lagos suburb.

Taiwo, insisted that the troops at the tollgate “strictly followed” the army’s rules of engagement for internal security.
