The opposition party also called the handlers in President Muhammadu Buhari's government bloody liars for attempting to cover up their atrocities.
According to a report by SaharaReporters, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Nigerian government led by the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being murderous following the report of the Lagos #EndSARS Panel's report.
The report said soldiers and police operatives massacred youths at Lekki Toll Gate on 20th October, 2020.
The opposition party also called the handlers in President Muhammadu Buhari's government bloody liars for attempting to cover up their atrocities.
It, therefore, called on Nigerians to ensure all those behind the gruesome killing of the innocent youths are brought to justice.
PDP disclosed this in a press statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan which was obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday.
It is titled 'Lagos EndSARS Report: PDP Demands Prosecution of Killers, APC Collaborators.'
The statement read, "The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the report by the Lagos state EndSARS panel confirming the gruesome killings of innocent youths at the Lekki Tollgate during the 2020 EndSARS protest. strengthened the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is running a murderous and oppressive regime that has no regard for life.
"Nigerians can recall how security operatives attacked and massacred innocent youths and how the APC, its leaders and agents, in various agencies of APC-controlled government, vehemently denied the killings, tried to mop up evidence and provided official cover for the killers.
"The report of the Lagos EndSARS panel, which confirms the massacre of Nigerian youths in Lekki. has further shown the APC and its government as bloody liars whose hands are stained with the blood of our innocent compatriots.
"It is now clear that no matter how much the wicked strive in denial, the truth will always prevail. Therefore, the blood of our innocent youths killed by agents of the APC and its administration must not be shed in vain. Those responsible for these callous acts must be made to face justice.
"Of course, all those whose hands have become bloodstained will never know peace.
"The PDP hereby invites Nigerians to stand for our slain compatriots by ensuring that those behind the massacre of our youths as well as their supporters in government have their days in the dock.
"The nation must ensure that such individuals are brought to book for their act of wickedness to humanity.
"In this regard, our party insists that all those indicted by the panel should be arrested, prosecuted and dealt with in accordance with our laws.
"The PDP again commiserates with the families of the slain young Nigerians, who were cut in their prime for demanding for a just, equitable and secure nation governed by the rule of law."
