Mr. Macaroni set for peaceful walk in honor of those allegedly killed during 2020 #EndSars protest at Lekki Toll Gate.

Mr. Macaroni, a popular Nigerian skit maker, recently took to his social media page to inform his followers about an upcoming peaceful walk in honor of individuals allegedly killed during the 2020 #EndSars protest at the Lekki Toll Gate.

Gistreel had previously reported on the 2020 EndSars protests that occurred in various parts of the country.

In Lagos, Nigeria, during the 2020 #EndSars protest, a significant number of people gathered at the Lekki Toll Gate, blocking the passage of pedestrians and road users for several hours.

This action was considered inappropriate by the authorities.

Allegedly, security personnel were dispatched to the Lekki Toll Gate on that day. Shortly afterward, there were claims that shots were fired at the peaceful protesters, resulting in loss of lives.

While the government has yet to openly confirm these claims, protesters and many other individuals insist that people were shot and lives were lost on that day.

Since then, October 20th of every year, starting from 2020, has been used to commemorate the individuals who allegedly lost their lives during the Lekki Toll Gate #EndSars protests on October 20, 2020.

In memory of those who allegedly lost their lives, Mr. Macaroni, the skit maker, announced a peaceful walk to honor those purportedly killed by security personnel.

He wrote, “3 Years now!!! We will Never Forget!!! #EndSars! We will be walking peacefully to honor all those who lost their lives on 20/10/2020!!! We also walk for all those who have lost their lives as a result of police brutality in Nigeria!!! We walk in peace!!! We will never forget!”

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
