Loatsad Promomedia has issued a statement clearing up rumours that it played a role in the attack on #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Tollgate on Tuesday evening.

The media company owned by Seyi Tinubu, son of Popular Lagos politician/APC national leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, disclosed that they shut down their billboard at the Lekki Toll gate based on an order by the state governor, Baba-jide Sanwoolu.

The statement read in full:

“When we started in 2014, we had a plan to change the perception of African start-ups in the global space. We believed as Africans, we could create something great and we set out with a N4m loan from a bank and we started trading, going from door to door begging for work and relentlessly grew the business employing and empowering over 200 Nigerians today directly or indirectly. We have supported many upcoming businesses, artists, people in need as giving back to our community has always been our passion (all this can be verified).”

“All of our achievements thus far have come the from hard work, sweat and determination of our work force and everything Loatsad has been doing has been open, all taxes are remitted and payments to agencies and regulatory bodies have been timely, so we can be proud to say we are contributing the growth of the industry and Nation.”

“When the “EndSars” and “say no to police brutality” protests started from day one we wholly supported the movement and used all our platforms to promote the messages (I believe the promoters can verify this information) as we believed in the cause.”

“On Tuesday when the curfew was announced we heeded the governors warnings and didn’t want our staff in any danger, hence by 3pm our staff had been ordered to leave the site and the board was switched off based on the governors curfew request.”

“We had no idea what was going to happen and we feel the same anguish, pain and shock at the events that unfolded and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and families of this ungodly act.We believe in this movement and that it was the start of the change our generation needed to move our country forward and we will continue to support the youths of this great nation.”

Sanwo Olu won't give such order without consulting Tinubu before giving such wicked and evil order

It's sad that the people we voted to protect got no single regard for our lives .

Tinubu, your days are numbered .

Hmm is this true ? The governor who was quick to visit the wounded was behind the shut down of lights ? Is that man this two faced ? He even said no protesters died further infuriating more Nigerians

read very well. They did not order the removal of cameras. They also made it clear they obeyed the curfew order and shut down. U guys should learn how to read and understand
Moreover I dont think the billboard shutdown contributed to anything,

lets try not to involve people who are very much innocent of the crimes committed by the FG

I dont think this statement mean that SanwoOlu asked them to do it tho.

They did it from their own interpretation of the curfew order(accordingly to the OP)

However, there may be more to it, which will be found out subsequently

I was in the media business for almost 8yrs...
I supervised alot of billboard all over the country cos the company I worked for has 108 billboard across the country...

So he took 4million loan to erect a billboard worth over 16 million naira isn't it?

The billboards, like street lights, would have provided lighting during the Lekki incident.

Fulani man.

You're inciting violence hoping tinubu is killed then you begin your propaganda that igbos killed tinubu.

We are smarter than you.

Tinubu will be investigated and judged at the right time.

Same way you barbarians from the desert will be chased out of Nigeria at the right time.

illumination u say? how much illumination do u mean? blames should be channeled towards those responsible for switching off the light. That company has no hand in anything neither did the governor ask them to shut down d billboard. A lot of companies shut down operations immediately the curfew was announced. thats d same way that company shut down theirs

If I may ask civil war between who and who.
To have a civil war you need at least two sides fighting each other. In this case the southerners are not ready to fight each other and the northerners are not ready to fight the south so oga where is your civil war coming from.
