A leaked government memo has sparked outrage among Nigerians, who are demanding answers about the identities of the 103 #EndSARS victims and why their bodies have not been identified. The families of the victims are also in the dark, and they are desperate for answers.
One family who is still searching for their loved one is the family of Pelumi Onifade, a 22-year-old student who was shot dead by soldiers during the #EndSARS protests in Lagos. Pelumi's body has not been found, and his family has been unable to get any information from the government about his whereabouts.
"We are in a state of limbo," Pelumi's mother, Adeola Onifade, told CNN. "We don't know if he is dead or alive. We don't know where his body is. We just want to know what happened to him."
The lack of information about the 103 #EndSARS victims is a further injustice to their families and loved ones. It is also a sign of the government's unwillingness to account for its actions during the protests.
As of August 10, 2023, there is no news that the mass burial of the #EndSARS victims has been conducted. The Lagos State government has not released any information about the burial, and the families of the victims are still in the dark.
The lack of transparency from the government is a further #injustice to the families of the victims. They deserve to know what happened to their loved ones, and they deserve to be involved in the decision-making process about the burial.
The #LagosStategovernment must release more information about the mass burial and must involve the families of the victims in the decision-making process. The families deserve to know what happened to their loved ones, and they deserve to be able to say goodbye properly.
The mass burial of the #EndSARS victims is a reminder of the government's brutality and its disregard for human life. It is also a reminder of the need for justice for all those affected by the protests. The families of the victims deserve answers, and they deserve justice.
