Photos Of Sanwo-olu Visiting Lekki Shootings’ Victims Resurface After US Report by valentineuwakwe(m): 7:43pm On Apr 01, 2021
Images of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, visiting victims of Lekki shootings at different hospitals on Lagos Island on the night of October 20, 2020, have resurfaced online.
The photos resurfaced following a report by the US Department of States that it could not verify if #EndSARS protesters were killed on October 20, 2020 at the Lekki tollgate.
The US department in a report tagged ‘2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria’ said claims by global human rights bodies like Amnesty International that soldiers killed protesters were unverified though the Lagos State Government “reported two deaths connected to the event. One body from the toll gate showed signs of blunt force trauma. A second body from another location in Lagos State had bullet wounds.”
But pro-government campaigners have since taken the US Report as an exoneration that soldiers of the Nigerian Army didn’t shoot protesters at the Lekki toll gate. The pro-government advocates have also dragged #EndSARS protesters and eyewitnesses like popular disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, fondly referred to as DJ Switch, who claimed soldiers shot protesters at the toll gate.
The hashtag #LekkiLies has also been trending on Twitter with many condemning the violence and destruction of lives and properties that trailed the Lekki shootings.
However, Rinu Oduala, a former youth representative on the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate last October, has since slammed the pro-government campaigners, saying the US Report did not in any way absolve the soldiers of the allegations leveled against them.

The activist also re-tweeted the governor’s tweet where he was pictured visiting wounded #EndSARS protesters in hospitals on the night of October 20, 2020.
Sanwo-Olu had visited the victims alongside his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat; and other government officials.
The governor had said, “I’ve just concluded visits to hospitals with victims of this unfortunate shooting incident at Lekki.
“It has taken me this long to make a statement because I have to prioritize the welfare of the victims of this very sad incident.
“There are currently 10 patients at the Gen Hospital, 11 at Reddington and 4 at Vedic; with mild to moderate levels of injuries while 2 are receiving intensive medical care. 3 patients have been discharged & we will continue to monitor and ensure all patients get the best care.”
Meanwhile, the Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel is still sitting and probing the alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate.

That US couldn’t verify the shootings doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Those singing high praises on America concerning this news should pray never to be killed by soldiers. Those who were killed on that fateful day, their loved ones must have justice

I wonder if Americans would have believed any report from Nigerian govt that says that George Floyd was not knelt upon by White cops.

The upcoming generation of Nigerians that we thought would be enlightened enough to defeat neocolonialism and severe Africa from Western umbilical cord seems it would even be more stupid than the present generation.

If we depend on America to tell us what is true and what is not true on our backyard, then we have a long way to go.

The future of Nigeria is bleak.

Sanwo Olu isn't a doctor and was under pressure of Endsars anarchist and liars.
None of those guys are Lekki shooting victims.

All of the Photographs of the dead on the internet turned out to be fake

Even CNN backtracked on its own report later

Governor Sanwo Olu said they found one body at Lekki that had died of blunt force to the head and one body at Oyingbo with bullets wounds.

If you live in Lagos you will know the body at Oyingbo could not have been from Lekki toll gate

Are they part of Lekki Massacre? They are still alive. It is not a surprise people get injured while running helter-skelter, those injured were moved to hospital - Sanwoolu as a good and honest man visited them and show them love

Okay
Re: Photos Of Sanwo-olu Visiting Lekki Shootings’ Victims Resurface After US Report by Monogamy: 8:07pm On Apr 01, 2021
Firstly this picture was circulated immediately after the Lekki till gate incident.

Secondly, they are victims of gun shot or other injury no dead was reported at that hospital..

We have asked you people to provide proofs, it's almost 6 months now .. All what you people could do is beating around the bush.

There is nothing like any massacre at Lekki Toll Gate on Oct 20,2020. EOD

The U.S Government should place sanctions on nigeria if they want to, & stop heating the polity. They have enough tools within their ambit to investigate & know exactly that the shooting took place.

Don't mind them. I hope what happened at the Lekki tollgate will not hunt them later. Imagine people defending illegality all in the name of food or their stomach
