The management of Loatsad Promomedia Limited has reacted to reports making the rounds that the billboard at the Lekki Toll gate where the Tuesday massacre took place was deliberately put out by the agency.

A statement by the advertising agency owned by Seyi Tinubu, one of the sons of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday said the billboard was switched off due to the curfew imposed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and that it had no idea of what was going to happen to the harmless #EndSARS protesters.

It reiterated that the agency had been lending its support to the #EndSARS movement since the peaceful demonstrations began across the state.

It read, “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.”

Brilliant explanation from an apprehensive fellow to be exonerated, kindly narrate the same story to the Massacred Souls!

We Will Hunt You ,Your Father And the Governor

Governor ordered a curfew, Management obeyed and put off all equipment and lightning

No matter how this ends,
The country will never be the same again.
Something has been lit.
#EndSars.

Governor ordered a curfew, Management obeyed and put off all equipment and lightning

no mind the idiots, I guess the billboard is observing the curfew too. Beast in our society.

Abi and d CCTV cameras too had to go home too to observe the curfew
Wick set of people

So this dumb excuse is what you dare say to Nigerian youths who you obviously think are stupid and worthless. I never knew this guy was this shallow. How many times did you remove the cameras, how many times did you switch off the lights during the Covid 19 lockdown/curfew?.

Come front talk am now abi u they freak

Sanwo-Olu ordered you to switch off your brain and you did?

From evening bloggers.

I dey wait for reputable media to carry this Jare..

I employ all aggrieved youths to be peaceful but resilience.

Yes.

and CCTV also observing the curfew. Son of the wicked.

This explanation is just ridiculous how does curfew affect billboard What is correlation does switching off the billboard have with the curfew declared

The guy is just trying to save face because of the fear of attack on his investments....

Okay

Wow. This guy is very intelligent like the father. Very brilliant explanation.

Well, I don't blame you. Even our leaders spew rubbish like this and expect us to believe the tales like zombies.

Continue to deceive your audience.
