Lekki Shooting: Anyone found culpable will be held accountable – Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said that the Lagos State Government will ensure that anyone found culpable in last Tuesday’s shooting at the Lekki Toll Plaza will be held accountable for their actions.

Sanwo-Olu stated this while speaking in an interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson, he said; “We will be committed to a full investigation of what happened and people would be held accountable. They certainly would be held accountable. We would do everything possible to ensure that they are held accountable.

“People have claimed that their friends and family members have been killed. So, this Judicial Panel of Enquiry is meant to bring all of these stories to accountability; where we can make restitution, where families can prove and identify officers that were responsible for this.

“I am not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I am Governor of a State. The report would be out and we would channel the report to all the relevant authorities in the state to ensure that every one that is found culpable is accountable for the act.”

“There are no international pressures whatsoever. These are genuine protesters that we all believe and we all have knowledge about. I was the first governor among governors, with due respect to all my other colleagues, who came out to meet with them, who started from the front. I carried the EndSARS flags with them. I met with them twice and we all had the rally together and worked together,” he said.
