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.
