The United Kingdom on Monday maintained that the shooting of peaceful and unarmed EndSARS protesters at Lekki, Lagos State and other incidents during the protest must be investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet on its Twitter handle, @UKinNigeria, the UK High Commission in Nigeria said that judicial panels of inquiry must probe all incidents, including Lekki and ensure accountability for crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tweet read, \u201cWe remain concerned by acts of looting and violence in Nigeria and urge security services use restraint as order is restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking with all stakeholders, judicial panels of inquiry must investigate all incidents, including #Lekki, and ensure accountability for crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigerian youths<\/a> had between October 8 and 20 occupied many streets in different parts of the country demanding an end to police brutality and a total reform of the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, October 20, soldiers opened fire on peaceful protesters at Lekki tollgate killing some of them and injuring several others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting incidents several public and private property were looted and destroyed by hoodlums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many foreign countries, international and local organisations have been insisting that the incidents be probed and justice served to the victims of the right abuses<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
