Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says no death was recorded in Tuesday night attack in the Lekki toll gate area of Lagos State.

The governor made this known in a live broadcast on Wednesday morning, saying two critically wounded victims had been operated on and were in stable condition while others with “mild to moderate” cases are still receiving treatments at various hospitals in the area.

Sanwo-Olu, who admitted that soldiers opened fire on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate area last night in a bid to disperse them, said he is currently engaging the leadership of the Nigerian Army on the development.


He noted that as a governor of the state, the control of military forces was not under his purview.

Sanwo-Olu said, “For clarity, it is imperative to explain that no sitting governor controls the rules of engagement of the military. I have, nonetheless, ordered an investigation into the rules of engagement adopted by men of the Nigerian Army that were deployed to the Lekki toll gate last night.

“This is with a view to take this up with higher commands of the Nigerian Army and to seek the intervention of Mr President in his capacity to as the Commander-In-Chief to unravel the sequence of events that happened yesterday (Tuesday) night.


“Fellow Lagosians, whilst we pray for the swift recovery of the injured, we have not recorded any fatality as against the widespread circulation on social media.”


“Myself and the leadership of the ministry of health have been going round. Indeed, we went round the hospitals last night. We went round mortuaries last night to see and to monitor for ourselves what has happened and to look and identified the injured protesters.

“We personally visited the hospitals that took in these patients. 10 patients at the General Hospital in Lagos, 11 patients were at the two locations of the Reddington Hospitals both in Lekki and Victoria Island,” he said, adding others sets were at various hospitals in the Lekki area.


“I want to expressly say that over the night, two of them had to go through surgery and I am happy to say that they are all stable and they are recovering very well. Quite a number of others are just mild to moderate states.

“Indeed, three of them had been discharged this morning and I am told that additional three to four will be discharged anytime from now.”

Despite video evidence, this ba5tard is still lying imaging such effrontery

Wallahi, ko ni dafu Sanwo Olu, Buhari, Buratai and Tinubu....600 yrs of suffering for them!!

Why does my instinct tells me otherwise, From all the videos I've seen there were lifeless bodies

Ok

Useless man

May you cry a painful cry before the end of this year for this lies.

SanwoOlu is caught in a web spurned by forces greater than him.
How he extricate himself from this mess is what I don't know.

Do I pity him? Hell no!

Exactly. The man is in a tight spot

the governor is lying.
why is he afraid of saying the truth ?
how can a trained soldier, shoot into a crowd without killing anybody, but they only sustained injuries ?

Sanwo Olu lied. The fact that some people shot at the protesters is enough crime on it own.

Better late than never, but you can do better by visit and update.

What?
