LekkiMassacre: Buratai Reacts To CNN Investigative Report

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has insisted that the Nigerian Army was professional in its conduct.
Buratai said this in response to a report by CNN on the shooting of End SARS protesters at Lekki toll gate in Lagos State.
Recall that soldiers deployed to Lekki toll gate were accused of shooting and killing peaceful protesters, agitating against police brutality in Nigeria.
But, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army had denied killing protesters at Lekki toll gate.
However, CNN had released an investigative report showing how soldiers had shot at protesters on the fateful day, 20th October 2020.
Reacting to the report, Buratai said the Nigerian Army will never operate outside the rules of engagement.
He spoke while receiving members of the House of Representatives committee on Army at the Army headquarters on Wednesday.
According to the Chief Of Army Staff, “Let me assure you and all Nigerians that the Nigerian Army is a professional Army. We follow our rules of engagement. Nigerians should feel safe.
“We abide by rules of engagement and the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria,” Buratai defends the Army.
