By Modupe Shodeinde
The National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called for a thorough investigation into the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate Plaza.
The National leader who is also a former governor of Lagos State demanded an investigation into the incident after paying a visit to the present Governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday.
He said, “I came to ask him pointedly; did he order the attack, or if he didn’t order the attack, who ordered it? Was it to his knowledge that people were attacked? That was all I needed from him.”
He added that victims of the incident also needed to be questioned to help the government in dealing with the situation.
“Those who suffered casualty during the gunshots need to answer some questions too; how were they there; how long were they there; what kind of characters are they?
“Even those we want to help, we still must extract information that would help the government to prepare in future or understand how and when to react.” he stated.
Speaking on the recent looting spree, destruction and violence in the state, Tinubu expressed his displeasure and condemnation of the acts, he likened it to “a handshake beyond the elbow.”
Debunking rumours that he had travelled to France in the wake of the chaos in Lagos, he said, “I didn’t go nowhere; I’m a Lagosian. I still hold the title of the Asiwaju of Lagos. I’m still the Jagaban.
“Fake news is all over the place; they said Seyi my son was kidnapped, but he’s here with me and I didn’t pay any money to bring him here.”
The APC leader also commended the Governor Sanwo-Olu for his quick response in listening to the people and presenting their request to the President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Within a few days, he reported back to the public. That is responsive enough,” Tinubu said.
He also expressed his confidence in the calibre of persons appointed into the Judicial Commission of Enquiry set up by the state government to investigate the allegations of human right abuses by officers of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad), noting that victims will get justice.
