Professor Wole Soyinka has said the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu did not invite the army to shoot at #EndSARS protesters in Lekki toll gate, on Tuesday, 20th of October, 2020.
He said;
“It is absolutely essential to let this government know that the army has now replaced SARS in the demonic album of the protesters.”
“My enquiry so far indicate that the Lagos state governor did not invite the army, did not complain of a breakdown in law and order. Nevertheless, the centre has chosen to act in an authoritarian manner and has inflicted a near incurable wound in the community psyche.”
“At that earlier mentioned Lagos sector, Lekki, where most of the affirmative action gatherings had taken place, Soldiers opened fire on unarmed demonstrators, killing and wounding a yet undetermined number. One such extra-judicial killing has drenched the national flag in the blood of innocents.”
” The video has , in accustomed parlance, gone viral. I have spoken by phone to eye witnesses. One, a noted public figure has shared his first hand testimony on television . The government should cease to insult this nation with petulant denials.”
