The Asiwaju of Lagos State, while commending the Governor for what he described as leadership quality and said he had been “responsive, also pointed out that, the characters of those who suffered casualty at Lekki protest venue raised questions
“Those that had suffered casualties during the gunshot need to answer some questions too. How were they there? How long were they there? What kind of characters were they? Even if we want to help, we must extract information that will help the government to prepare in future or understand when and where to react, We had to segregate the calendar” and said “those who suffered casualty before the protests” will be accommodated by the judicial panel announced by the state; Tinubu said.
