Lekki Carnage: Adeboye Tells Buhari What To Do

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has condemned the Tuesday massacre of unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll gate but also called on the citizenry to avoid situations that will further expose them to military brutality.

In a strongly worded statement, Adeboye also called on the Muhammadu Buhari administration to set investigations so as to give justice to all victims of the violence even as the government should engage the protesters to amicably resolve the conflict.

He said:

“I condemn in the strongest possible terms, attacks launched by the Nigerian military on unarmed young people, who have been peacefully protesting police brutality over the last 12 days as #EndSARS protests.

“I am confounded that prior to the sad events at the #LekkiTollGate, the Nigeria Police failed to arrest the weapon-bearing hoodlums who were attacking the well-organized and non-violent #EndSARS protesters.

“The condemnable actions of the military risks driving the agitations of the young people underground, thereby making the situation unmanageable.

“I call on the Federal Government to thoroughly investigate the tragic events at Lekki and other parts of the country, give justice to all victims even as it engages the #EndSARS protesters to reach a common agreement to end police brutality.

“I am also appealing to the Youths to allow peace reign & stop any form of action that would give the military any other form of excuse to attack”, the cleric wrote.
