Breaking: Sanwo-Olu In White Paper Rejects EndSARS Panel Report Of 9 Lekki Tollgate Deaths

The Lagos State Government has rejected the finding of the Lekki EndSARS Panel report that nine persons were killed when soldiers stormed the tollgate on October 20, 2020 to disperse the unharmed protesters, the government white paper on the panel report deposed on Tuesday.

The government in its White Paper on the report by the EndSARS panel that probed the Lekki toll gate shooting also said that one of the recommendations of the panel was rejected.

A short statement by Gboyega Akoshile, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Sanwo-Olu on the white paper said the Lagos State administration rejected the panel’s report that nine persons were killed at the toll gate on the night of October 20, 2020 when soldiers stormed the protest ground to disperse the young protesters.

In the statement titled, ‘Highlight of the Lagos Government White Paper On The Lekki Incident Investigation’, he said, “Out of the 32 Recommendations made by the JPI in its Report of 15th November 2021, Government accepted 11, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.

“Fourteen recommendations fall outside the powers of the Lagos State Government and will be forwarded to the Federal Government for consideration. Let the healing begin.”

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that ahead of the release of the White Paper that a number of civil rights leaders aligned to the protesters including Mr. Marcaroni, Falz among others had publicly snubbed the governor’s prayer to join him in a peace walk aimed towards healing of the emotions of the citizenry.
