The Nigerian armed force has communicated its disappointment with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's words on...
not welcoming them on the #EndSARS emergency in Lagos state.
Brigadier AI Taiwo who shared the Nigerian armed force's record of the Lekki Toll Gate Shooting at the continued sitting of the Lagos legal board on Saturday November 14, expressed that Governor Sanwo-Olu approached the military for help on October 20 after the #EndSARS emergency deteriorated into "violence."
He said;
"I spoke with the governor and said the army was unhappy that he said he did not ask the army to intervene. But I’m sure, after we’ve watched everything, we saw he had more than reasonable grounds to ask the army to intervene.
“Perhaps, it was the way everything went that made him say so.."
Remember that Governor Sanwo-Olu who responded to the shock that followed the shooting, had accused "forces beyond our direct control".
Additionally showing up on CNN, the Lagos state Governor who affirmed that the military was liable for the occurrence, denied playing a part in it.
He said in the meeting;
"From the footage we could see, because there were some cameras at that facility, it seems to me that they would be men in military uniform—it should be Nigerian Army or something."
When inquired as to whether he implied the military started shooting at dissidents, Sanwo-Olu said accordingly;
“Yes. That’s what the footage showed.”
