Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the weekend, had an interview with CNN journalist, Becky Anderson where he stated that only two deaths have so far been recorded in the gunfire incident that rocked the #EndSARS protest at the Lekki tollgate on Tuesday, October 20, IgbereTV reports.

He said so far no family member of deceased persons have come out to make any complaints that their loved one died in the incident. He also stated that there are no bloodstains at the scene of the incident.

Two dead bodies. That's what we've seen from all the morgues, that's what we've seen going to hospitals, that's what we've seen as records. What has happened is that there have been so many footages that people have shown but we have not seen dead bodies, we have not seen relatives, we have not seen anybody coming up to say indeed I am a father or mother to someone and I cannot find the person. Nobody has come .

I have been round and there is no splash of blood anywhere there.

He averred that the CCTV footage shows that men in military uniforms carried out the shooting. When asked if people will be held accountable for the attack, he said

''They certainly would...we will do everything to ensure they are held accountable''

When Anderson informed him that the question she asked was simple and that it was basically to know if those behind the attack will be held accountable, Governor Sanwo-Olu said

“I am not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; I am Governor of a State. The report would be out and we would channel the report to all the relevant authorities in the state to ensure that every one that is found culpable is accountable for the act.” he said.

Lalasticlala

Paid loyalist will come and say that it is two people that the governor mentioned how is it a massacre?

Dear sane nairalanders, you don't need to argue with anybody to prove a point.

Human being life is precious to me, even if it's just a person that was killed, it's still precious to me. It can be anybody. It can be one's family.

Modified
A soldier will go to the war front, lay down his life, the govt will deny his death and someone will sit in his office and use a pen to cancel him out of existence. Just like that.

And we say we are a country demanding patriotism from its citizens?

How is death of two people a massacre?

May God be with the families of the departed souls. It is painful but we need not blow it out of proportion to the extent that it cost more lives and damages.

The truth would be revealed no matter how much you tried to cover it

Beware Nigerians. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal related topics and make tribal comments with different accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.

Also Be aware that tactics and plans has been deployed to cover up the massacre since all their efforts to break southern unity were not fruitful. They have created a lot of Facebook and Twitter accounts with Yoruba or Igbo names for this purpose, one of them is to post pictures or video of people who debunked being killed, those pictures were scripted and earlier been circulated for this purpose. They would discredit real occurrence and give it another title and narratives. Beware of the propaganda

They dominates this platform, they are agents of destruction. They posts mostly in the midnight. They have no resting time until they are able to convince their oppressors.

That has always been his position. He has consistently maintained that one of them died as a result of blunt force to the head. So far no proof of massacre

I wonder how people now saw it as revelation.

He already admitted two people died since two days ago.

Stale gist.

The military used blank bullets full stop

Dem go soon talk true. Na small small e dey start

I hope sanwo would not be made a scape goat at the end of the day?Because these words that he has spoken cannot be taken back again o.
[sighs as he watch drama unfold]

Rip to all those who lost their lives in the massacre
May the good Lord comfort their family

We probably won't know who ordered the soldiers to shoot
It might be tinubu and it might not
No evidence at all except the screenshot of a chat where someone said it was tinubu and told people to retweet aggressively on twitter which is quite funny.
The person might be saying the truth and it might be politics in play
Who knows?
Even though I hate all politicians and all political parties but still I won't let anybody mess with my reasoning like a zombie without any evidence I can critically think about.

Anyways I don't care if he's innocent or guilty
I hate dem politicians
The past,present and future ones
I hate them all.

Nigeria is governed by tyrants.
Impunity is the other of the day in my Clan

So if there was no shooting since some idiots, including tinubu said it was fake news or photoshopped.
Riddle me this, how the heck did two people die?
Shey na stampede??

If there is shooting now, how is it possible that it's only two people that died.

Las las, this governor na mumu

Has anyone ever explore the theory that those vehicles carrying the soldier that were shooting in the video might be OP MESA and if they are then the governor certainly gave the order to shoot and the military may be right in denying that they never gave the order to fire at protesters.

God help our nation
Affordable men clothing and accessories all sizes available and urs payment on delivery Lagos and Nationwide dispatch

MICHEALADEX:

So you think blank bullets cannot inflict fatal injury when fired at a close range?

Nigeria have murdered sleep with all the #EndSARS atrocities as well as all injustices ever committed by security agencies.

ZOMBIES went from it's a PHOTOSHOP video to nobody died to soldiers shot in the air. Now they are saying it's just two deaths. It's not a MASSACRE.

God will surely punish them. That money they collected to sell lies will never be used to any good thing in their lives because it is blood money

The Governor is simply being political with the numbers but like they say the truth will always prevail

Someone tag Mr. Enenche
