Bayo, via his Twitter username @BayoAdedosu wrote;
“Good morning fellow Nigerians. In the spirit of truth & justice, I am putting down 50k as a reward for anyone who can come forward with VERIFIABLE pictures of dead pple from the Lekki Toll Gate “shooting”. Pls note that sending fake pictures comes with dire consequences.
“You must be ready to prove that you took the pictures, the pictures must have timestamp and be assured that you’re safe. The money has increased to 150k naira with 2 pple adding 50k each.
“This is not a joke. Let’s put a closure to this debacle today. It will also help if you can send pictures of where DJ Switch was dropping the bodies of the dead at the feet of the Army Commandant or her blood stained outfit from lifting dead bodies drenched in blood.”
