He asked the LLC boss if he was aware that Fashola found a camera at the scene of the incident.
However, the head of the LCC legal department, Gbolahan Agboluwaje, objected to the questioning, saying the MD doesn’t know anything about the discovered camera as he wasn’t there.
Ogunlana then asked if Fashola can be brought in for questioning.
The Nation also reported that Ogunlana, the #EndSARS lawyer made an oral request to the panel for Fashola to be invited to explain what happened to the camera he reportedly found.
