Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, visited protesters who sustained injuries at the Lekki Tollgate on Tuesday.
Sanwo-Olu visited the hospitals that had undertaken treatment of the protesters, who were injured after security operatives opened fire on them.
He was in the company of Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, and some other officials.
His words: “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.”
The incident at Lekki occurred after#EndSARS protesters calling for an end to police brutality were attacked by men of the armed forces.
Some protesters died in the encounter while many more were left injured, as protesters scampered for safety.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from both international and local bodies.
