He claimed that the protest was hijacked by hoodlums and the military intervened to stop the killing of police officers as well as the looting and raping of citizens in the name of #EndSARS.

Few weeks after soldiers opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State, the Nigerian Army at that time alleged that its operatives were invited by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to avoid total anarchy.

"Sanwo-Olu asked the army to intervene and that was the correct thing to do since the police had been overrun." “I spoke with the governor and said the army was unhappy that he said he did not ask for army’s intervention but I am sure that after you watched everything , you saw he had more than enough grounds to ask for army’s intervention; perhaps it was the way everything went,” he added.

It was gathered that before the shooting started, some officials uninstalled the Closed Circuit Television cameras in the area. Also soldiers involved in the operation confirmed they were drafted in for the mission on the request of Sanwo-Olu.

I guess his method of intervention was firing them with live bullets

Supporting the so-called EndSARS protesters who're criminals is a tall violation of our territorial integrity, US should help Nigeria in arresting, deporting and prosecuting these criminals and their sponsors. LEKKILIES

This governor should resign and persecuted ASAP.
