EndSARS: The Wounds They Want Us to Forget

Four years have passed since the Lekki toll gate massacre. But the air still feels heavy every October 20. The blood may have dried, but the memory burns on.

Here comes the meat of the story.
Despite official denials and spineless panels, Nigerians remember. Young lives were cut short. Families left with questions. Justice, conveniently buried.

The Government’s Amnesia
After the camera lights faded and hashtags stopped trending, the government moved on — as though nothing ever happened. But for Nigerian youths, the silence is violence.

No Apologies, Just Denials
Even with video evidence and global attention, no high-ranking official has taken responsibility. Instead, narratives were twisted, and victims labeled as threats.

A Generation Betrayed
The same youths who protested peacefully were called “thugs,” “hooligans,” and “enemies of the state.” But all they asked for was dignity and life without fear.

We Will Not Forget
The silence from the government is deafening, but the echo from the people is louder. Lekki was not just a massacre — it was a mirror. And we all saw the reflection.
