Meanwhile, in another development, the Lagos Observers Group (LOG) on Monday, November 16, called on the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to apologise to the Nigerian Army over alleged false claims on the Lekki shooting.
Legit.ng reported that the group said after analysing the army's testimony at the Lagos state judicial panel of inquiry and restitution, it has become necessary to compel the governor to tender an apology.
In a communique signed by Folarin John Odusote and Boboye Olarewaju, its chairman and secretary respectively, LOG said the army's statement is factual to support the position that the #EndSARS campaign was not a reflection of the reality on the ground.

The Nigerian army had given its testimony on the events that occurred at the Lekki toll gate during the #EndSARS protest.
The army at the panel said it only fired blank bullets containing gunpowders at protesters at the arena.
Speaking during the process, commander of the 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Brigadier-General Ahmed Taiwo, said soldiers deployed to the area only fired into the air and not directly at the #EndSARS protesters.
