Lagos State Government has come under criticisms for
embarking on a clean up of the Lekki area.
Last Tuesday, soldiers opened fire on unarmed protesters at
the toll gate.
The incident attracted global outrage and calls for probe.
World powers and international groups have demanded
prosecution of those involved in the shooting.
On Twitter Friday night, Gboyega Akosile, Press Secretary to
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced a clean up exercise.
The spokesman said waste management personnel were going
round affected areas.
“Today, @Lawma_gov started a clean up of the mess generated
during the #EndSARS protests. The clean up exercise continues tomorrow until
the entire city is rid of dirt. @IOdumboni and very hardworking @Lawma_gov
workforce sighted today at Lekki toll gate”, he tweeted.
Many respondents condemned the word “‘mess”, accusing the
state of cover up.
Others noted that the government was yet to provide an
update on investigation of the shooting.
They argue that forensic experts should have been deployed
to some of the scenes, especially Lekki toll gate to collect things that could
aid probe of the military attack.
Some reactions below:
@Ugoosings: Crime scene cleared up without investigation. I
weep for this country.
@MaryanneMoghalu: I suppose you have to do your job, but
your choice of words is unfortunate. The lack of empathy is really quite
unbecoming.
@VetiNazreehlDr: At this point I do not know what to say
again. I’m just heartbroken & I weep for us. The country is a mess and
there’s no justice system but we’ll all wait for 2023 tho it seems far but I’m
sure it’ll be worth the wait.
@Jerry_emy: People died on a scene and it is yet to be
investigated and you call it a mess. Posterity will never be kind to all the
people who downplayed this killings
@Obasanjoedeki: It is apparent the government (in its current
form and thinking) does not understand that #Nigerians have lost all faith in
its ability to discharge its responsibilities as enshrined within our
constitution and moved on.
@Ayemojubar: You people are cleaning up a crime scene before
investigation even start? That place should be locked up for forensic audit and
investigation. This is another proof that you people planned to obstruct
justice by eliminating evidences.
@DandyNaija: The military killed those people and carted
their body away. Now the state government has come to wipe evidence from the
crime scene without any forensic investigation. Lord, how did I land in this
country? Please get me out of here!
@E_Osanyin: The mess generated during the #EndSARS protest?
By the way, this is a crime scene. Are the authorities done with their
investigation? What of the CCTV footage? Anyone looked at it? Why the rush to
cleanup a major crime scene? Why are things upside down in this country?
@Ajanabijoux: #EndSARs protesters cleaned up after
themselves every single day. They are decent human beings! How difficult can it
be for you to call a spade a spade and lay the blame at the feet of the
hoodlums that caused this?!
@OluOmoSWP: Toll gate that should be closed down till
investigation is over. But why will they investigate, when they know who and
why whatever happened, happened.
