“...The decision to call in the military was taken by the Lagos State Government (LASG) after a 24- hour curfew was imposed.

The 81 Division of the Nigerian Army has denied allegation soldiers opened fire on #ENDSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Plaza last Tuesday.

“At no time did soldiers of the Nigerian Army open fire on any civilian. From the onset of the ENDSARS protest, there was no time personnel of 81 Division Nigerian Army Lagos were involved. “The situation was fast degenerating into anarchy. It was at this point that LASG requested for the military to intervene in order to restore normalcy.

Season of denial

“The situation was fast degenerating into anarchy. It was at this point that LASG requested for the military to intervene in order to restore normalcy

Thanks! We now need justice. EndSARS EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA

After or within

What an irony that soldiers what involved to restore order, and there made matters worst because some of them lack knowledge.

At this time, AkinwunmiAmbode will be laughing out loud at jidesanwoolu . An advice to Sanwoolu; Always read and understand the Bible. Habakkuk 2:12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity. IntlCrimCourt loading.... EndSARS

Why did it have to take a whole 8 days for you to speak, maybe you could have averted the madness the country descended into by putting out a timely statement, You no try at all O!

Autosvibe

And the Lagos State had denied being involved in the shooting of EndSARS protesters...

Breeze don blow jidesanwoolu yansh don open.

Chai!!! Sanwo Olu and Tinubu don enter one chance.

__Otunba sir_haybdee

tajudine2013 So do u mean the protesters opened fire on themselves? Anyways who ordered the killings Just so simple question endsars EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA

You mean same Army that denied they were even there in the first place

So, can we now say that the governor invited soldiers because he declared an ill-thought curfew which he later postponed? The army continues to deny shootings when there is video evidence. If that wasn't the army but they were there, who was shooting then? Ghosts or contractors?

All I can say is wow wow wow. Leaders with professional qualifications in lies. In a sane country. The chief of Army Staff would resign and Sanwoolu would be impeached with immediate effect.

Inspector jidesanwoolu are u there 👂👂 ☎☎ ? cnni rosemaryCNN you need call in the Lagos State governor to came and defend him self from this allegations of involvement in the LekkitollgateMassacre

It's 8days after the LekkitollgateMassacre may the souls of our fallen heroes rest in peace....

Obviously LASG called them to assist when there's a breakdown of law and order. But did LASG tell them to go to Lekki and shoot at peaceful protestors? Please answer this question

NnamdiChife You people are deceiving urselves

Don't use Babajide Sanwolu as a scape goat

Whoever wrote this on behalf of the army is stupid

A time will come when we will no longer need the truth. A time will come when this protest will be operations kill every leaders past and present. A time will come nd Nigeria will be great. Time will come you will remember this

Wahala for Sanwo Olu... 🤣🤣🤣

I see no problem with the ',...the decision to call in the military.....' But who gave the order to open fire on unarmed individuals peaceful protesting, why was the street light off on that night and why was the cameras completely removed on that day.

But Buratai talk say....... Endsars

CNN afalli

Obviously LASG called them to assist when there's a breakdown of law and order. But did LASG tell them to go to Lekki and shoot at peaceful protestors?

NnamdiChife Hmmmm

🙄

NnamdiChife Oga Jide was all over TV channels including CNN lying to the world that he will commends an investigation into the shooting meanwhile he ordered the shooting, hypocrite oshi

jidesanwoolu who con dey lie now? Soldiers says they acted based on your order, and you told us you don't know anything about it, what kind of charade is this?

The game they are playing is now clear, Tinubu told Sawo olu to call the military for the massacre, we are still waiting for Sawo olu response to finally reveal the force above his control.

Who ordered the hit? EndSarsNow

Ready the story not just headlines and read to understand

“However, the decision to call in the military was taken by the Lagos State Government (LASG) after a 24- hour curfew was imposed” jidesanwoolu has been lying all along. The curfew begins at 9pm but Jide brought in the army before 7pm.

1stly, I thought jidesanwoolu claimed he wasn't aware of d deployment of the military to the Lekki Toll gate? Truth will surely prevail as they expose themselves. 2ndly, HQNigerianArmy who shot at the protesters?
