On Tuesday, Nigeria’s Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ordered an investigation into “reports of shooting at the Lekki Toll Plaza, following the 24-hour curfew imposed on Lagos State to stop criminals who hid under the #EndSARS protests to unleash mayhem on innocent citizens”, according to a tweet from Gbenga Omotoso, the Lagos state Commissioner for Information.
Omotoso argued that the Lagos governor “advised the security agents not to arrest anyone on account of the curfew, which he urges residents to observe for the peaceful atmosphere we all cherish”, noting that “The Governor will do everything within his power to ensure that the lives of all Lagosians are protected at all times”.
