Nigerians demanding the end to police brutality and bad
governance in line with the #EndSARS tagline storm the London residence of APC
National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Saturday.
According to the video posted by African Independent
Television, only a few of them carried placards with many chanting derogatory
words as they stormed Tinubu’s residence at Duchess Mews, Portland Place.
This is coming after the APC leader was accused of ordering
security forces to open fire on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate area
of Lagos State – a claim he has denied.
Tinubu responded by stating he will never be part of any
carnage.
“Why will they use live bullets?
“I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be
part of that.”
The former Lagos state governor also denied having any
investment in the Lekki Concession Company, the firm which manages the
tollgate.
He said: “I have no dime, no kobo investment in the
tollgate.”
“We are about 13 to 14 days into the protests now. Before
now, I was being accused and reported to the Presidency that I was behind the
protests, that I was a sponsor of the protests.”
Tinubu had also “appealed to the youths” and Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu to respond to the demands of the protesters.
“That was why he
(Sanwo-Olu) set up the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. The governor has gone to
the home of one of the victims to appeal to them.
“He has put N200m together as part of restitution and
compensation for those attacked,” he added.
