We had our Sharpeville in Lekki
Ayo Akinfe
We had our Sharpeville in Lekki
A Tiananmen Square melee
Young people gunned down in their prime
Wanting good government was their crime
They seek to change society
Pressing leaders for probity
Asking that bad governance ends
And for past crimes they make amends
Youths want accountability

(1) We have to write to all human rights bodies internationally, asking that they agree to back a move to get those responsible for this massacre brought before the International Criminal Court. If those who committed such crimes in Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Liberia were brought to justice, so too should similar murderers in Nigeria
