This time yesterday, 30 mins before 7:00pm. It started getting dark. Young people of Nigeria had gathered at the Lekki Toll Gate
They were singing the national anthem and waving their flags
We all started getting nervous as they shut the light and took down the cameras

We were all nervous and afraid. Deep down thinking. What’s the worst punishment for a missed curfew (the curfew that was later shifted meaning it doesn’t apply anymore)
We were thinking, come on, they won’t murder them. No they won’t
Some people began praying

People started calling ambulances. It felt like the longest night ever. People recording live streaming and we watched young people die real time
What was their sin?
They were peacefully protesting for an end to police brutality

The shootings didn’t stop. It continued into the night. They stood there singing the anthem and waving their flags
The ones who are supposed to protect us continued shooting at them

Some the ambulances sent couldn’t gain access. We lost people. Some died on the spot. Some died slowly from their wound
Some hid away
Some hoped and prayed
This was the longest night ever
The Lekki Toll Gate Massacre
We will not forget
