Sanwo-olu Decries Alleged Brutality Against Lekki Protesters by adenigga(m): 5:46am On Feb 16, 2021
• Urges police to investigate

• LCC gives reasons to reopen tollgate
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, yesterday, condemned the alleged brutality against protesters at the Lekki tollgate. The governor, therefore, ordered the state’s Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, to investigate the incident.

The state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho, disclosed this at a joint briefing by the state government and the Lekki Concession Company in Lagos. He reiterated that Lagos State government, under the leadership of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, would never trample on people’s rights.

MEANWHILE, making clarification on some issues, Managing Director, Lekki Concession Company (LCC), Yomi Omomuwasan, who spoke on alleged use of the firm’s operational vehicle to convey protesters at the tollgate, said that the vehicle was donated to the police to assist them as a logistical support.

He said: “We have operational vehicles. One of them is that donated to the police to assist them in their logistics support. On some people wearing LCC logo vests, remember that is our site and we have our men working around there but we didn’t engage in arresting people. We don’t have the power.”

Omomuwasan said the request to reopen the tollgate from the judicial panel of inquiry was based on the fact that the firm needs to assess the worth of the volume of valuables that was lost to the October 20, 2020 violent protest with the aim of getting the necessary insurance cover. He stressed that the reopening was not to immediately start tolling on the facilities.

The managing director of the LCC also stressed that an estimated N2.5 billion worth of assets were lost to the violent protest.

“As of 2011, we had N24 billion owned by local lenders and N49 billion borrowed from the International Development Bank. We need to bring a formal report of assessment of the damage back to our lenders because when you don’t pay, you are blacklisted. The claims could be verified. Assets would require a team of engineers both within and outside to do critical assessment. We need to do civil and electrical works, which cannot be completed within three months.

He also denied claims that the firm refused to give its full consideration to the forensic investigators from the judicial panel of inquiry, adding that all the needed support according to demand were rendered.

According to MrMarcaroni, he said the police were telling them that they'd kill them and nothing will happen...Such guts was backed up from the powers above and would come from no other person than the state security chief.....


We need to know that, the police was created to protect the masses against the government and also to protect the government against the masses.... But it seems, the police in Nigeria have been protecting the government against the he masses at all times....

Sanwo Olu is gentle cheesy

No be here some governor airlifted their citizen to Abuja and they are missing till today
No be here Wike killed thousand of igbos and no one blinked
No be here enugu governor told endsars mecreant to leave his state or they will be consequences
No be here Abuja native told them to leave their street
No be here Peter Obi told them to leave him alone like he is above the law when called to panel

But its the gentle Sanwo that went to Abuja straight to register endsars grievances to buhari. I hope Sanwo learn from his lesson, you can't satisfy everyone, satisfy your people and people that will support you when things go south
