Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, on Wednesday faulted claims by the Army that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
of Lagos State invited them to Lekki toll gate, amid the End SARS protest.
Kanu claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the
soldiers to kill the protesters not Sanwo-Olu.
Recall that gunmen in military uniform had last week Tuesday
stormed the Lekki toll gate and shot at peaceful protesters.
The gunmen had killed some of the protesters during the crisis.
But, following the backlash, the 81 Division of the Nigerian
Army had admitted that it’s soldiers were present at the scene of the protest
but did not kill anybody.
The division also disclosed that they stormed Lekki toll
gate on the order of Sanwo-Olu.
However, the IPOB leader described the Army’s claim as
false.
In a tweet, Kanu insisted that the governor was not the head
of Army.
He tweeted: “Nobody should believe @HQNigerianArmy’s claim
that it was @jidesanwoolu that ordered for soldiers to be brought to #Lekki.
“It’s a brazen LIE. Since when did Governors become Army
Commanders. #LekkiMassacre was ordered by the Fulanized @NGRPresident and
executed by a Fulanized Army.”
