#ENDSARS: NOBODY REMOVED THE CCTV CAMERA AT LEKKI TOLL GATE - GOVERNOR BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu, has said that the security cameras at Lekki Toll gate were not removed during the shooting of unarmed protesters by armed military men on Tuesday, October 20.
In recent days, the #ENDSARS protest has sparked violence in most parts of Lagos like Yaba, Iganmu, Alausa, Mushin, Tin-Can, and Lekki.
Few hours before the shooting from the military men which claimed the lives of about 15 persons, images emerged of a staff in the uniform of Lekki Concession Company Limited, removing some cameras from the toll gate.
The Governor, in an interview with ARISE TV, on Thursday, October 22, responded and said no one removed the security cameras.
He said he has seen footages from the cameras and they will be made available to the judicial panel and the public very soon.
“Nobody removed the security cameras at Lekki Toll gate. They are intact,” he said.
Many Nigerians have taken to social media to accuse Bola Tinubu, a National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Lagos State Governor, of being the mastermind behind the military deployment as an attempt to disperse protesters and secure his Investment at the Lekki Toll gate.
Tinubu, in a phone call interview with Channels TV correspondent, Olu Phillips, responded to the allegations, and dismissed accusations that he was behind the brutal massacre of the peaceful and unarmed protesters.
"There is a limitation here, I can only control my personal security guards.
"I will never be part of any carnage. The use of live ammunition is condemnable," he said.
Also, the Nigerian Army, on Wednesday, October 21, debunked reports that it killed the protesters at the Lekki toll gate.
It also dismissed claims that the bodies of those killed were seized by its operatives.
