Contrary to the denial by the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu, that he knew nothing about the killing and maiming of peaceful EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of the state by personnel of the Nigerian Army, soldiers involved in the operation have now confirmed that they were actually drafted in for the mission on the request of the governor.

The soldiers had on Tuesday night opened fire on the protesters, killing and injuring many of them.

Shortly after the governor declared a round-the-clock curfew in the state that fateful Tuesday, some persons were captured on camera dismantling the CCTV attached to the toll gate, one of the main convergence points for young Nigerians demanding an end to police brutality and state repression.

Bosch, the company that made the CCTV, confirmed the removal from the toll gate.

Most of the street lighting around the area were suddenly turned off as soon as it was night

Minutes later, the heavily armed soldiers moved into the scene to complete the plan.
