Ibime:
Your initial post was hinting he is on a conspiracy. He does not need any order from SanwoOlu. The curfew announcement is enough to make any wise and responsible Business Owner with a billboard that reads ENDSARS where protestors gather to off it in order to avoid issue with the authorities, much less the son a former Governor who will be seen to be boyboying the current Governor based on who his father is.

Alright I agree with you

Ibime:
You expect the son of a former Governor and Lagos powerbroker to leave on a billboard on which time has been purchased by ENDSARS protestors at a time when the Governor has placed curfew in order to disperse ENDSARS protestors?

That would be defiance to the Governor and executive order, intact cheerleading the breaking of the curfew. You are barking up the wrong tree. This is different to COVID.

Now u are talking. Now check my initial post again

Ibime:
Your guy Izzou told us they sometimes switch off. Maybe they expected people to disregard Covid curfew. I just can't understand the train of thought that leads down this rabbit hole all the way to his son. It is not human nature to make your children coconspirators in your atrocities.

What if I tell you the information he gave out there is incorrect? I work on the island and stay on the mainland, I've once been at iyana oworo by 5.30am and the billboard for 3rd mainland was up and running?

I just told u to verify from people who stay at Lekki axis to find out if during COVID-19 lockdown the billboards were switched off 10pm in compliance with the curfew order.

Was it not yesterday u were exploring the option of one of LCC's supervisors getting credit alert of ₦2m and taking the cameras out? What happened to that same theory here now? Don't u think LoatsAD and Sanwoolu had more explanations to do?

Ibime:
If the Curfew means no one is expected on the street, there is no one to advertise to.

Why will Tinubu plan murder and bring his son in on it?

But I just told u there was curfew during COVID-19 pandemic and the billboards weren't switched off once it's 10pm then. Is it not interesting that they switched it off yesterday to obey the curfew?

Ibime:
Ahn, ahn, the guy said they sent their staff home at 3pm so they can get home for 4pm curfew as per Governors order. Nigerian journalists come remix am say they off billboard on SanwoOlu order. Is the billboard now part of the CCTV conspiracy?

What of banks that closed for 4pm curfew, are they also in on the conspiracy?

The billboard never goes off. There was COVID-19 lockdown curfew which normally starts 10pm....ask people who stay around that area if the billboard went off during from 10pm during those periods.

The answer u get will make u understand the 3pm story of asking staff to go home and switch off the light doesn't add up.

Like I've been saying, some of us know what we know.

Now look at Tinubu's son stylishly indicting Sanwoolu that they turned off the billboard at the toll gate on his order, yet Sanwoolu has been yearning megede fegede

DontBullshitMe:
I don't agree nor disagree.

But it was an inappropriate description coming from a former senate President. At a time like that, all the people needed was a voice to assure calmness and strengthen individual courage of the people in the face of brutality not sensational reaction aimed at further heating up the polity unnecessarily.

Peace and stability should always come before politics.

I have read several reports from international agencies and bodies, words were carefully chosen.

It is people like Tinubu that have ambitions that needs support of Buhari and his government for their future political ambition that have the luxury of choosing their words carefully while reacting to the tragedy.

Any other person with conscience will say it the way it is ; what happened yesterday is a well planned massacre, no more no less

DontBullshitMe:
You are right.

There is also the angle that policing as a career is like a resort for people who missed out on other popular career paths such as : accountancy, medicine, law, engineering etc.

So, I believe there is the suppressed psychological anger that boils in them.

Yes! That anger is there; an average policeman is angry u are doing better than him or her. An access bank graduate trainee obviously earns way better than an Assitant commissioner of police going by their pay structure chart that has been flying around.

Definitely a corporal will be livid seeing an access bank GT below 25 years old driving his kia while he's barely feeding his family with the crumbs he earn at almost aged 40.

I was a bit worried this morning with constant news of police station being burnt in various parts of Lagos especially while monitoring radio programs and each time a caller calls in the first thing he /she talks about is the nearest police station close to him/her is presently on fire.

Then I came up with a theory that probably most of these hoodlums/boys in the area see these police stations as a symbol of their oppression in the past that shouldn't be allowed to remain standing. I myself has been illegally arrested in the past and money extorted from my parents before being released on bail. I will however never support the burning down of these stations/ police posts because I know how important police work is in keeping law and order in a society like ours where youth unemployment is high, there is a free for all market where u can get hard drugs and youths with access to dangerous substances that when ingested makes human lives look worthless.

So many youth have had bitter encounters with these police officers that has turned their lives upside down hence where some of these boys won't hesitate to kill them now they have the chance. If the police has also been good to some of us who have moved on with our lives and have done well for ourselves, we could've prevented all these by talking to these boys and bros dem not to throw caution to the wind. I mean we know most of these bros for area. We would've talked them out of these whole thing, buy them gin, peppered meat and make them see the danger in threading the path of anarchy that has been unleashed today.

Well, here we are with things falling apart and the centre not holding and the ogunfe in aso rock disguising and forming deaf and dumb to current happenings.

I think going forward the only thing we can do is talk to those we can amongst the bros dem/area boys/ hoodlums and make them see further destruction of properties and shootings will do us all no harm. These are just my thoughts sha

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The Nigeria Police Force needs a total overhaul

I just don't understand these people

For every reason you have to defend them, they'll give you three reasons why you shouldn't

We still dey talk one, these ones dey brush press men up and down

Tufiakwa[/color]

It's unfortunate. What most people don't know is that the brutality our police dish out goes beyond they being paid peanuts and being handed guns to safeguard lives and properties. It goes beyond that.


The years of military rule has robbed off on the police force and the military. Growing up I read a lot of TELL and THE NEWS magazines that detailed week-in week-out how the then military junta of Abacha oppressed the people with DMI ( Directorate of Military Intelligence), the police and some trained squad supervised by Hamza Mustapha. Our police and military never left these aggression that characterized during those periods when we transitioned into democracy. They took it along with them into the so called democracy we have been "enjoying"

Making Buhari an old war house a civilian president now makes things worse. It's more like he issued a new license for those aggression

EarlRagnar2:
Yeah bro I watched it too, I wanted to cry like how can you be so heartless and wicked.Person jump enter river you still shot am 7 times like wtf

It's disheartening. I'm sure the government will never do any open hearing / inquiry on this massacre cos if the do tons of witnesses willing to give evidences against the daredevil perpetrators will besiege the venue of such hearing.

So many people who witnessed the shameful act will never allow it to slide. It's already evening and yet the commander-in-chief has not deemed it fit to say anything to us concerning the massacre

For those who questioned why the protesters didn't take the word of the IGP on disbandment for it and go home to count their victories, this link below should explain the viewpoint of the protesters to you.

Just look at what the policemen attached to Lagos state house of assembly did to pressmen on duty

EarlRagnar2:
They interviewed one boy on Arise TV, boy had to enter water and he said soldier still shot him like 7 times.....Boy was fortunate to be a good swimmer.

I watched the video on Arise TV this morning. The boy is a lifeguard, he had to swim from oriental waterside down to Admiralty, lekki to avoid getting killed in the fracas.

While the interview was going on the angry hoodlums came and drove the Arise TV reporter away. They were just too pissed to even allow a reporter take record of events. I clearly understand their anger tho

donjazet:
All of you mentioning me to chat rubbish and throw bile are very stupid.

I am not denying the killing of citizens. I am saying we should vet the news we receive carefully before accepting them and becoming sensational.

I have also fallen victim to it here on this very thread hence my apprehension.

Was it not on this very thread yesterday that blueraydick shared false information about the violence before he was corrected?
There is no harm in being conscious in absorbing information out there because the internet is a treasure trove of misinformation.
Right now we don't know if it was even the army or the navy that caused the chaos yesterday.
It's okay to be outraged at an injustice but we simply have to be absolutely sure of it. Surely that's common sense advice.
I really don't know why anyone would start laying abuses, going personal and invoking my dead relatives. It's simply not okay. At this point, a lot of different things are happening in the country and no one can claim to be absolutely sure of understanding or making sense of it all or the various actors. How do we sieve out the misinformation from the facts?

Let's be guided in our outrage, please.

Are you normal at all?

What false information did I share? I shared a video that showed hoodlums descending from BRT buses, Izzou called my attention to the fact that the buses are owned by LBSL and not Primero which was what the person who made the video tagged it ( most Lagosians see BRT buses as one whether it belongs to LBSL or Primero)

How is that false news? Did he say the hoodlums didn't descend from the BRT bus?

Please if u want to make Ur insensitive comments in this current times u are free to do so, but please avoid my mentions. I tried as much as possible to avoid mentioning u since morning for a reason. Abeg!

Jodera:
You even try. So with all the videos you, sege and some others were dropping here, they didn't see it, yet they claim they're researching. With all the videos on front page, they didn't see it either.

Even if you pluck their eyes to see the videos, they won't still see it.

That's how "woke" they are

Honestly I'm too broken to figure the best way to react to their posts. Let them just hold on to their views. It is well

For those looking for videos, I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

My friend on Lagos island confirmed the DPO that had been shooting boys since morning at Adeniji police post has been matcheted on the head and he has been rushed to the hospital. The boy that disarmed him took his uniform and wore it.

The boys have allegedly gone into Ọba of Lagos palace and have seized the staff of office. Serious chaos brewing down there

Sanwoolu on live TV said they were able to disperse Alausa protesters peacefully, but they couldn't achieve same with the Lekki protesters.
He further said the army stepped in but since he's not the commander-in-chief he doesn't have control over the army's rule of engagement. He said he will engage the army authorities and the commander-in-chief further.

Now the funny thing is the army authorities has since denied ever being involved in the shooting that took place at the toll gate.

Is Sanwoolu head correct at all?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This TVC?

[/color]

I meant channels please . He's finished already now sha

Nezzjnr:
Angry Youths marching to Channels TV

They should stop this nonesense abeg.

Sanwoolu is on TVC doing live broadcast

Nezzjnr:
TVC is on Fire

Oyingbo bus station on Fire

Tinubu's silence in the face of tyranny facing his people is about to make him lose everything he ever owns

I fear Lagosians might start attacking Hausas in the coming days if Buhari continue to play mute to the current happenings. This crisis may take an ethnic coloration sooner than later.

Just look at snipers taking up position on Oriental hotel. They want to kill innocent people when Boko Haram remains undefeated

izzou:
[color=royalblue]LCC is still a private organisation

If a supervisor gets an alert of 2 million to remove those gadgets, he'll do it without thinking..Afterall, hoodlums were paid a whopping sum of #500 to cause chaos

I really don't know what's happening, but something dey happen[/color]

Baba I just watched DjSwitch instastiry now, they are still shooting at the protesters despite the fact that the curfew has since ended at dawn.

If Sanwoolu doesn't know anything about the massacre is it not better he goes to the toll gate along with his security details to at least ask the soldiers to halt further assault as the chief security officer of the state?

afrodoc2:
This is as good as an admission. Which forces are beyond his control if not Federal soldiers.

It never made sense that Tinubu would have a hand in this kind of massacre anyway.

This is obviously a Katsina mafia/military operation.

The fact that the cameras were taken out long before the soldiers got there makes Sanwoolu/Tinubu complicit in all these. There's no way they can wash their words off this.

Somebody tweeted about the cameras being taken out as early as 4.03pm

Emaprince:
O boy...this is wickedness. How can they do that. As in, they want orotesters to die straight away.

They are really angered by the direction this whole event was going to, which revolution. They don't want that because it means the end for them. So they can kill everything that can loosen their grip on power.

Knowing how the country us being run, they know nothing will be done in the end. Also, their famillies are safe abroad

It's quite sad

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I saw him subtly add that on his IG comment

Ibime may be right.. Buhari met with Chief of Defense staff yesterday, and at night, we know what happened.

I don't know who did this, but the primary reason may be to ruin Tinubu politically

This country don finish. I really do not blame the protesters for still protesting even after SARS was disbanded.

You can never hold these people by their words[/color]

But the army has denied being involved in the attack. So who are these forces beyond his control that carried out the massacre?

Sanwoolu is complicit in all these no matter how we look at it. The cameras were taken out long before the soldiers got there. Who took out those cameras? On whose orders was that done?

This is what the chief security officer of Lagos has to say.

Segedinho:
I saw a live footage of what you are saying now..



The driver was saying"soldier no allow us pass "

Just imagine!

It's just unfortunate, and to think Buhari was hosting Emir of Kano while the massacre was going on

The crazy part I'm yet to process about the whole thing is the fact that Ambulances were not even allowed to gain access to the injured protesters initially.

Even in war situations you don't shoot at unarmed civilians and then deny them medical attention for 4ck sake!

Segedinho:
Seems MTN was compromised in last night massacre

It's not just MTN, the media organizations were also compromised and even the LRU unit of Lagos that is responsible for emergency rescue.

What happened yesterday was a well coordinated massacre. What they didn't plan for was how to prevent the atrocities from getting captured on people's phones.
