Sanwo-Olu interview with CNN

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed that footage obtained from the CCTV cameras installed at the Lekki toll gate showed that indeed Nigerian soldiers were at the scene of the shooting of unarmed protesters.

Sanwo-Olu revealed this when he appeared on CNN’s “Connect the World with Becky Anderson programme” on Monday.

“From the footage that we could see, it seems to be…there would be men in military uniform, who should be Nigerian Army or something,” Sanwo-Olu said.
But when pressed further by Anderson, the governor said, “Yes, they were there. That’s what the footage shows.”

But when pressed further by Anderson, the governor said, “Yes, they were there. That’s what the footage shows.”

Asked further if he was committed to a full investigation into the shooting incident and if the soldiers involved would be held accountable, Governor Sanwo-Olu responded affirmatively but said only President Muhammadu Buhari could ensure the soldiers were punished in his capacity as the Commander-in-Chief.

The governor, who described the incident as “extremely unimaginable”, assured that the Lagos State Government would make the CCTV footage of the shooting incident available to the state’s judicial panel of inquiry investigating the matter.
He said: “We will be committed to a full investigation of what happened and people would be held accountable. They certainly would be held accountable. We would do everything possible to ensure that they are held accountable.

“People have claimed that their friends and family members have been killed. So, this Judicial Panel of Enquiry is meant to bring all of these stories to accountability; where we can make restitution, where families can prove and identify officers that were responsible for this.
