Sanwo-Olu blames forces beyond his control, to address Lagosians today

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu will make an address to Lagosians today following the violence that occurred last night at the scene of the Endsars protests at the Lekki toll gate.

The governor described the incident at Lekki as the “toughest night of our lives as forces beyond our direct control have moved to make dark notes in our history, but we will face it and come out stronger. I’ve just concluded visits to hospitals with victims of this unfortunate shooting incident at Lekki.”

Sanwo-Olu via his Twitter handle said that as the Governor of Lagos, the buck stops at his table.

“I will work with the FG to get to the root of this unfortunate incident and stabilise all security operations to protect the lives of our residents. I will give a state broadcast in the morning.

“There are currently 10 patients at the Gen Hospital, 11 at Reddington and 4 at Vedic; with mild to moderate levels of injuries while 2 are receiving intensive medical care. 3 patients have been discharged & we will continue to monitor and ensure all patients get the best care.”
