Lekki Shooting: Osinbajo Breaks Silence

Lekki Shooting: Osinbajo Breaks Silence

Hours after some #EndSars protesters were killed at the Lekki tollgate, Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured justice for all victims.

AllNews earlier reported that the protesters at the Lekki tollgate came under heavy gunfire, shortly after the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced a 24-hour curfew, due to perceived violence.

Several were injured as many fled for their lives upon the gunfire, after soldiers arrived at the protest ground around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, October 20.

Reacting on his Instagram page, Osinbajo said: “My heart goes out to all the victims of the Lekki shootings, and also the policemen and all other men and women who lost their lives in the past few days in different parts of Lagos and other states.

“We pray we will never see a repeat of these tragedies in Jesus name. God bless you all. “
