Nigeria's Military Admits Soldiers Had Live Rounds at Lekki Toll Gate Massacre
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Nigerian army has admitted its soldiers were armed with live
ammunition when they opened fire on protesters at an October 20th
demonstration in Lagos. Twelve peaceful protesters were killed in the
assault at the Lekki toll gate as they demanded authorities disband the
notorious police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS.
