A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has called out Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state to explain what he knows about a viral letter which shows a plan to bury 103 victims of the 2020 Lekki Tollgate alleged killings.
Ezekwesili, in her response to the viral letter which reveals that the state government had concluded plans for a mass burial of the 103 victims when soldiers and protesters clashed during the protests in 2020, expressed surprise that the governor was indeed in possession of information that 103 victims actually died.
The state government had denied that any masacre took place after the October 20, 2020.
“Mr Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-olu, here is a document that has gone viral on social media, stating that your government procured services for mass burial of 103 corpses killed during the #EndSARS protest? Is this so?
“Mr Governor actually knew the State had a record of 103 dead bodies from the #EndSARS shootings? We need your urgent response,” she wrote on Sunday.
