Amnesty International has asked the Lagos State Government to stop the planned mass burial of 103 #EndSARS victims.
This follows the state government’s response to a leaked memo addressed to the state Ministry of Health by the state’s procurement agency.
The Lagos State Government, however, confirmed the leaked memo but said the victims to be buried are not from the controversial Lekki Tollgate shooting.
Reacting, Amnesty’s Director of Information, Isa Sanusi, in a statement on Monday demanded an independent investigation into the matter, adding that an autopsy should be done on the victim’s corpses.
He also asked that the identities of those to be buried are revealed.
Sanusi further said that all those detained because of their role in the #EndSARS protests must be released immediately while authorities must ensure that victims and their families are provided with access to justice and effective remedies, including adequate compensation.
