Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said the
security officers who shot at End SARS protesters got the instruction wrong.
Sanwo-Olu while expressing shock and surprise over the
shooting said he found out about the incident from the wife of a cabinet member
who called him.
According to him, the instruction was that the officers will
not be out until 10-10:30pm when all citizens have gotten to their various
homes.
“The events that started around 7-7:30pm came as a total
shock. I don’t know how the officers got it all wrong because the instruction
was that police won’t be out until 10-10:30pm when all citizens should have
gotten to their various homes. This is totally against what we stand for.”
The governor further stated that he has reported the
incident to the highest level of the military hierarchy and a judicial panel
will be set up to investigate it.
“The army does not
report to me. I have reported the matter to the highest command in the
military. It’s not something we are going to gloss over. A judicial panel will
be set up to investigate it. I have escalated it to the highest level of the
military,” he added.
He, therefore, called on leaders at all level to speak up
and put an end to the protests.
