The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has blamed the shooting of peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate Tuesday evening by security agents believed to be soldiers on “forces beyond his control.”
Mr Sanwo-Olu, who posted the statement on Twitter early Wednesday morning, shared pictures of himself visiting those injured in the shooting. The governor did not give the figure of the fatalities from the shooting, but witnesses said there were about a dozen dead.Below is the governor’s statement.
U r a joker of d twentieth century
He can not feign ignorance. He is the chief security of the state. Nothing happens in his state without his consent. The higher forces dismantled the cctvs too? Switched off the street lights too? They should forget this cock and bull story. He is very much aware...period!
you're a disgrace too. You did not capture where he denied of no fatality..
He must be a mere stooge paraded as the head of a state. Is being a long while I heard from silly people like this.
Forces beyond your control.... you're a disgrace and their blood will fight you. You order them to be killed stop all these please
Can you imagine this nonsense
'Force beyond control,' in your state
An irresponsible thing to say as a governor. Betrayed the trust of those who elected you. “Forces beyond your control” - Chief Security Officer of your state!

It's the TRUTH,only a few will understand. The Political Instability,which has resulted to today's agonising mayhem and abuse of official powers is beyond most of the sitting Government Official's. They're are just puppets
He should just resign because he doesn't worth being a governor in the first place
He knows about it, they went to pulled off all CCTV and turned off streets lights that always ON 24/7,
The Army could only go to Lekki toll plaza because of vested interests. They killed Nigerians because their investment is affected. The projections are not met. LCC is the vested interest. Now, who are the owners of this company that brought soldiers to kill Nigerians
