The use of a BRT bus to convey the thugs to the protest ground would also be looked into, according to the governor.

I have received reports involving a bus in our state bus service. Our buses will never be involved in such activities and I have instructed the state team to get to the root of it.

I will address our residents live today on developments.

Sanwo-Olu reminded Lagosians of the state's dedication to uphold democratic ideals, and that every action of the state will fall in line with these ideals.

I understand the atmosphere of distrust in which things are happening and how rapidly the situation has escalated, but I need to let every Lagosian understand that our government believes firmly in democratic ideals and will continue to act in accordance with our belief.
