The chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages management committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has said that the killing of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Tollgate in 2020 could not be connected to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
Oluomo also faulted the Presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and Labour Party, LP; Abubakar Atiku and Peter Obi respectively over the incident.
The transport boss noted that it was not possible that there would be killing of protesters and the corpses would not be revealed nor would the families of the deceased coming out to ask for their loved ones.
Oluomo stated this on Sunday during a “5 Million-Man Rally,” he organised in Lagos to support the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Oluomo said, “Where are the bodies and where are they buried? Do they have relatives in Nigeria? Has Nigeria bribed the mothers of the deceased protesters? Why are their siblings not searching for them, even on social media? Or is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a Chief of Army Staff or President who will order the killing of protesters at the (Lekki) Tollgate?”
“They’re lying to us, they want to undermine the Yorubas, everyone should come out. It is a political game. It was Atiku and Obi that conspired to do all those things then.”
Recall that in October 2020, thousands of youths trooped out to the streets in Nigeria and the diaspora, protesting extra-judicial killing by the police, particularly by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
Following the shooting at Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020, a Judicial Panel was set up by the state government to investigate petitions on police brutality in the state.
