Woman who claims her son died in the Lekki shootings comes forward to counter claims that no one died, says his body is still in the Mortuary (video)
A woman claiming to be the mother of a young man who reportly died in the Lekki shootings has spoken up to counter the claims that no one died.
Shortly after peaceful protesters were shot at on October 20, 2020, pictures started flying around of a young man named Anthony Okechukwu, who died in the shootings.
A woman claiming to be Anthony’s mother has now spoken out from her base outside Nigeria. She said she found out about her son’s death online when she saw his photo being circulated.
She explained that she called her other son who is in Russia and he confirmed to her that her son Mmazuo Anthony Okechukwu, 23, died from gunshot wounds.
The mother thanked her son’s friends who stayed with the body.
She said: “First of all, I want to thank his friends who picked him up from when he was shot.
“If it wasn’t for his friends, maybe the soldiers who picked up other corpse would have picked him up and say nobody died.
“Those children saw when Anthony was running with gunshot wounds, they stayed with him.”
She then called out the Nigerian government for claiming no one died.
She said: “I cannot fathom what happened. A lot of our children, a lot of our youths, killed. And you lot have the effrontery to come out and look everybody, the whole world, to say nobody died.
“May death befall all of you.”
She revealed that her son’s body is now in a mortuary in Lagos.

Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
I wouldn’t say you’re stupid. You are, but I wouldn’t say it.
It is not length of life, but depth of life. Everybody dies, but not everybody lives stop complain and the sametime confused yourself

May be it’s true, may be we dont know what we have untill we have lost it. But may be it’s also true that we don’t know what we are missing until we find it.
This is bad… Such a promising young lad is gone… May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace…
He is an hero and he will surely be remembered for fighting for his citizens. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
What you need is just to take heart because the deed has been done by the evil soldiers and it’s only God can reward them according to their deed. Sorry for the irreparable loss.
Even if you don’t curse them, surely the cause will be following them. Thanks for the DJ switch who was there during this sad incident what are we going to be saying. They should eat the remaining dead body.
So sad
May his soul rest in peace.
A graduate for that matter,what a waste,he will never be forgotten.
Thats what you requested for useless man. Now they have show you…may be you have something else to say.
Amen anybody who says nobody died, will suffer. As far as I know there was shooting and there was killing
They are only trying to protect themselves.
See how they want his life, a very young guy that suppose to be bread🍞winner for his family, it will never better for anybody responsible for this….she show people that claim that he is blinded the he did not see any dead body during lekki toll gate, now you see.
May his soul rest in peace,anthony is a hero in this nation and he will never be forgotten.
Stop confusing us, we know what we saw
Do you know the meaning of mass burial or mass funeral may be u can go to the mortuary and take his corp to lekki toll gate yourself
Heartless woman
I don’t understand this woman o
If you like collect peanut money from them and tell us that your son died before the Lekki shooting
I too wonders why the government is saying that no one died at lekki toll gate after the shooting when itbis obviously clear that so many persons died
May his soul rest in peace,my condolences to his family members.
Hmmm, only God knows the truth may his soul rest in peace.
There is nothing to hide here, we know what we saw.
