Lekki Attack: I Called Buhari Twice, I Was Told He Wasn’t Available – Sanwo-Olu by bolaayenimo: 10:45am On Oct 22, 2020
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Thursday said he called President Muhammadu Buhari, to inform him of the killings of #ENDSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, by the Nigerian Army on Tuesday, but was told he was not available.


"I made calls to the President twice yesterday but was told he wasn’t in the office. The second time he was said to be at the FEC meeting; I haven’t spoke to him directly but I have reached the Chief of Staff to the President”, he said in an interview with Arise TV.

When asked to explain why CCTV at Lekki Toll Gate was removed before the dastardly act, he said:

“The cameras removed were not security cameras, it is a laser camera for cars; it picks tags for cars and plate numbers; it is not a security camera; it is an infrared camera; security cameras are still available and that is what we are using for our own investigation.

Your Excellency Sir! Taking off the Cameras and Ordering the light to be off was a Red Signal!!

The Nigerian Army has said they didn't order their Soldiers to be there, The Question is who sent the Armed Soldiers there?

There is no way LASG can be absolved of that Wickedness that Happened that night..

LASG Failed its youths that Night..

Now is not the time to Shift Blames..
Now is the time for the real facts that Happened that night to be open..

In the Course for truth Nobody should be Covered! It's a Matter of Time! Whatever is Hidden will be brought to the open..

Now is the time to Responsibility and take whatever comes with it..

Conscience is an open wound, until truth can heal it.

I am beginning to believe that the use of soldiers instead of riot policemen to disperse protesters who were disobeying lawful curfew at Lekki Tollgate may be wrong but the impression that masaccre and genocide happened was a big lie. There is no way trained soldiers would have shot directly at scampering protesters without the Lekki Tollgate being littered with corpses. Yes, the soldiers used maximum force but they obviously shot to scare and disperse and not to masaccre as emotional social media hype conveyed.

Truth will set you free and it doesn't matter if you are rightly an angry youth.

29.10.20 was neither a massacre nor a genocide but an unnecessary use of military rather than riot police to disperse resolute protesters.

Buhari an Hausa man sent Soldiers to kill Yorubas in Lagos. Yoruba people got angry and started destroying Lagos and killing their fellow Yorubas. Meanwhile Hausa properties both in Lagos and elsewhere are safe. Ibos now mobilized other Yorubas to burn Oba of Lagos Palace. What a shame.
In the end, Yorubas and have suffered a triple loss. Meanwhile Buhari who ignited this fire in Lagos is somewhere laughing. He has refused to even make a statement because his interior motives of bringing down the south is coming to pass. Very sad that Yorubas can set fire to 300 BRT buses the own yet are afraid to touch one of the thousands of Dangote trucks that cripple Apapa with go slow.
A problem that started in Ughelli, that should have been fought majorly in Abuja, has resulted to the destruction of Lagos by Lagosians. So be it!

About the Lekki Toll Gate Tragedy - Lucas Bashir

Since morning, I have been trying my best possible effort to get the identity of those who allegedly lost their lives yesterday. It should be understood that this is to authenticate the information one would disseminate and not a service to the government nor an attempt to debunk what happened between soldiers and protesters in Lekki.

Also, some people are unhappy because we have clarified that some people who were said to have died did not die. We were insulted for this patriotic service. Little do these people know how many lost sleep and the number of those in sorrow upon hearing the news of their loved ones.

WHAT WE CAN COMFIRM

Steve ABBEY did not die. His picture was circulated yesterday on twitter. He debunked the story himself. He is fine.

Eniola Badmus was allegedly shot in the stomach yesterday. The news is untrue, Eniola was not shot and is very fine.

Onyiye Francis has made clarification on a post by Yemi Alade about a man carrying a dead lady wrapped in Nigerian flag. She said that it was a movie they acted themed, "Heal our land, OH LORD!

Iraoya Godwin said he didn't die and there was a mix-up

Comrade Anthony Okechukwu did not die at the protest ground. He was not shot by the soldiers. He died in a motorcycle accident.

What we can substantiate is a news report from Punch. Lagos State Government, Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited the victims who were injured. You can check here:
https://twitter.com/MobilePunch/status/1318778267323781120?s=19

Please, If you have names of people who died and their pictures, forward them them Lucassamson24@gmail.com or to Dr Open Banwo via his email Info@NaijaLivesMatter.com. Fake news kills faster than bullets.

You can insult me till I expose fake news against you.

Fulani led government are evil.
Sanwolu might be innocent of all these.
It's Tinubu body language that resulted in this mess.
If he had come openly to support the peaceful protest, this hate on him would not have been unleashed.

See how governor Sanwo-Olu is sounding incredibly stupid and irresponsible in the course or desperately trying to exonerate his government complicit in the Lekki shootings.

Why was he trying to reach the president & he cant? Is the president not aware or perhaps shocked as usual? Must he brief about a gory incident the world have been condemning all over? Is the president really alive? Any wonder he has not addressed the nation? Such an irresponsible bunch.

When we say many times without number that buhari's fulani regime is a practicing "TAQIYYA REGIME" (LIES AND DECEPTION), we're not saying rubbish. We know what we're saying. TRUTH in its entirety does not exist in their vocabulary.
Was it not this same murderious fulani regime that massacred over 300 shiites then hurriedly burried them in mass grave in attempt to hide the evidence from the world? If they could slaughter these massive number of people and deny it, what makes you think they'll not deny Lekki massacre? Denying Lekki massacre will be a work over for them.
Since lies and deception is their working policy, any activity that goes against them will be defended or denied with lies. They're the type that'll go to any length to commit unspeakable things like remove Lekki tollgate cctv cameras, switch off lights, spray bullets on unarmed protesters and deny ever being present at the protest venue.
We know their style. They're nothing but murderers and pathological liars.

Governor Sanwoolu, they were removed because they have night vision and even with lights turned off, under forensic inspection, could reveal recognition of soldiers in action killing unarmed youths.

Why were night vision cameras removed?

You guys just criticize for criticising sake and not to make sense. So, what is wrong in the governor of a state calling the president to brief him about the shootings carried out by Federal forces? The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and the only person authorised to deploy troops. It is only reasonable for the governor to talk to the president as part of his investigation into the circumstances leading to the shooting. It is even more important since the president has refused to say anything about the incident.

this is serious,the worst that will happe is the presidency declaring state of emergency and appoint a hausa military sole administrator to take over the affairs of lagos.
the distressing emotions in sanwo olu’s expressions on arise tv this morning shows he is very unstable.
the national assembly’s call for the president to address the nation which he has failed to do show the extent of ridicule and disrespect for the constitution that they took oath upon.
