On his part, Lere Olayinka, spokesman of former Governor Ayo Fayose, posted a photo on Facebook of one the thugs that attacked #EndSARS protesters in Lagos last year, with the caption:
“This is OSHA of AGEGE, in Lagos. He led thugs to attack #EndSARS protesters in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos then.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu should do his "Peace Walk" on the blood of #EndSARS victims with OSHA and his colleagues.”
Recall that the Lagos state government released its White Paper on the report by the EndSARS panel that probed the Lekki toll gate incident of October 20, 2020.
The state government announced this via a statement on its website and official Facebook page on Tuesday, November 30.
The Sanwo-Olu government rejected the panel’s report that nine persons were killed at the toll gate when soldiers stormed the protest ground to disperse the young protesters.
