Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has disclosed he called President Muhammadu Buhari, to inform him of the Lekki Tollgate Massacre by the Nigerian Army but was told he was not available.
Sanwo-olu revealed this on Thursday in an interview with Arise TV.
He siad: “I made calls to the President twice yesterday but was told he wasn’t in the office. The second time he was said to be at the FEC meeting; I haven’t spoke to him directly but I have reached the Chief of Staff to the President.”
On the removal of CCTV camera’s hours before the massacre, the governor said: “The cameras removed were not security cameras, it is a laser camera for cars; it picks tags for cars and plate numbers; it is not a security camera; it is an infrared camera; security cameras are still available and that is what we are using for our own investigation.
“They did the removal because of curfew. As regards the light LCC put off the light because of the curfew order issued by Lagos State Government. I have never spoken to the owner of the company (Tinubu’s son), I am very certain their decision was purely a corporate decision.
“I will not stop to continue to apologize to Lagosians.”
