Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said the security officers who shot at End SARS protesters got the instruction wrong.
Sanwo-Olu while expressing shock and surprise over the shooting said he found out about the incident from the wife of a cabinet member who called him.
According to him, the instruction was that the officers will not be out until 10-10:30pm when all citizens have gotten to their various homes.
“The events that started around 7-7:30pm came as a total shock. I don’t know how the officers got it all wrong because the instruction was that police won’t be out until 10-10:30pm when all citizens should have gotten to their various homes. This is totally against what we stand for.”
The governor further stated that he has reported the incident to the highest level of the military hierarchy and a judicial panel will be set up to investigate it.
“The army does not report to me. I have reported the matter to the highest command in the military. It’s not something we are going to gloss over. A judicial panel will be set up to investigate it. I have escalated it to the highest level of the military,” he added.
He, therefore, called on leaders at all level to speak up and put an end to the protests.

Mr Governor is speaking in circles....
Let me ask
What were the soldiers doing there with real guns and real bullets and trucks meant for war?Were they supposed to shoot at goats?He should explain that the next time he speaks in circles...
Sanwo Olu keeps digging himself deeper.
ReplyDeleteI am telling you. His political career is gone. I trust lagosians.
DeleteThis man should stop talking,is this guilt?
Delete@Teejay, more like GOOOONE.
Delete@Anon, guilt ke!
There were no soldiers. Now soldiers made a mistake.
DeleteJust resign bawo
His spirit is haunted by the blood on the streets of Lagos!
DeleteI pity him,they have used and thrown him under the bus to be crushed by the people's anger.
First he denied the knowledge of soldiers been there. I knew he sent them because he had been lamenting for days now of how much money they lost from toll gate because of the on going protests. Now that he has murdered and shed blood are they making money from the toll gate or na? If the soldiers are wrong like he said can he at least prosecute them one by one to show he's sorry?
DeleteIn saner environments this man should've resigned yesterday.
DeleteHow can you get instructions on killing innocent people wrong. Why hasn’t Buhari been killed by mistake.
ReplyDeleteYou can imagine, after the denial cimes this guilt of speaking in circles.
DeleteHim and his godfathers political careers are dead already.
The blo3of the innocent will crybout against you people and the properties and money lost in this period, God will judge you all.
After all the lies,the truth will eventually emerge. Wicked evil souls, their innocent blood will haunt you and your family for ever.
ReplyDeleteThese people think we are idiots. This fools will soon begin to whip up ethnic sentiment and try to get us distracted or even mislead us into fighting ourselves. Lets not fall for it guys. We are better off united.
ReplyDeleteThey have started already..
DeleteI saw an article where someone says igbos are the ones burning and destroying Lagos!...
Smh
Keep contradicting yourself, Fool.
ReplyDeleteAs in eh,the ewu keeps spewing thrash upandan
DeleteHope you and yours is fine Momma..stay safe 🤗🥰💜
This man wu onyeara, were in disguise. God will punish you.
DeleteAsin ehn. Stupid somebody.
DeleteMay God punish all of them. That's how they will confess their evil deeds because the blood of the innocent are crying.
DeleteThis man is indeed mentally deraigned. KMT.
ReplyDeleteEventually the truth would be revealed.
ReplyDeleteThere's a cover up but it wouldn't be for long , he just indirectly indicted himself.
He should just stop talking already.
DeleteCan this man just keep his fucking man shut... Own up to your wrongs like a man with full chest and stop beating around and talking nonsense, bullshit and buhari... Houseboy governor... Puppet governor... Murderer..Forces beyond my direct control..
ReplyDeleteI will keep saying it that the River State government won't go this low to support the killing of Nigerians. He won't even let that happen in the first place. Sanwo Olu, I doubt you will be reelected if at all there will be election. Bola Tinubu the game is over for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's really over for them, the way Nigerians especially Lagosians worship these people ehn, I mean Buhari and Tinubu, you will be wondering if they were jazzed, I won't be surprised if Sanwo wins election next time
DeleteWho are the Lagosians that worship Tinubu.....you ppl have come with putting blames on people. When we all know its rigging dey all do. Ok you ppl dat dont worship Buhari, what did u do abt the rigging and winning of his 2nd term,why havnt you removed him from the power of seat,since ur the brave and noble one.
DeleteDont put blames or accuse anyone pls.
B&R I agree with you, I don't think people just follow Tinubu blindly and vote in any body he shoves their noses. They rig these elections to favor whoever they support.
DeleteTaa! Close your mouth Sanwo-olu.
ReplyDeleteIkoro gbago,ikoro gbada.
You all masterminded the killing of innocent,unarmed Nigerian youths who were demanding for a better government.
Chai,😢😢 Ogaa adii ruunu namma
Sanwoolu is sure confuse. The man is scared to hit the nail on the wall. I know the military don't report to him but we still have to hold him responsible being the one at helm.
ReplyDeleteThis is sabotoge!
Yes,he's so scared of saying the truth.
DeleteHe knows the truth.
exactly my point, he knows
DeleteContradicting everything u said initially..military said its not Nigerian soldier,now sanwolu has confirmed its naija soldiers.. More truth unfolding..You can't use lies to cover lies, never...tueh!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen Ambode said you were a psychiatric patient we didnt take his advice seriously.
ReplyDeleteNow we are suffering from your madness.
Exactly what I said when he started spewing trash,werey of the highest order
DeleteLies upon lies,so shameful! So the instructions was to safe keep them with military trucks and weapons of mass destruction ko? Y'all will never go unpunished! Evil mofos
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I think it's high time he kept quiet
ReplyDeleteI listened to him in TV today he said the CCTV was not removed that it is up nobody can touch it,it was the camera that use to capture the plate no cars that was removed, he also said the security light was removed because of the curfew, he said the public can have access to the CCTV to know what happened on that day.
ReplyDeleteYeah I watched it. He said it’s the one that controls the tags in the vehicles they removed. The one that picks the sensors on the car stickers to allow passage. If that is the case, they need to review the main cameras then and let us know what happened.
DeleteAs much as the military do not report to him directly, he must have know they would be there that day, so directly or indirectly he is responsible for what went down that day.
Now my question is this, if they say there is curfew, why are they allowing these ones going about freely to roam the streets and vandalise people’s shops and all? Why use force on the harmless protesters on the day the curfew started and refuse to restrain these ones looting anyhow?
They would have doctored those videos seriously by now joor.
DeleteShyla.. God bless you. Please let us ask him o... why are soldiers not out preventing looting but they all went straight to innocents protesters holding the flag and shot at them. God punish all of them. Our mumu don do. Who f**king gave the order is the question? Tell us cowards
DeleteThank you..They saw people destroying things in broad daylight,they couldn't stop them but went straight to where people were paying allegiance to the Nigerian state through the national anthem albeit a protest ground and shot them!
DeleteThis govt doesn't like anything peaceful!
Stella. One question. Do you honestly believe that the soldiers that came out are actually soldiers from the military? Do you not think someone can disguise? I have said this from the beginning of this protest. There is more to this. Plus a protest without a set of leaders was bound to escalate to events beyond control. Everyone is to be blamed including you, me, the media, govt, celebrities. Everyone. Lets not be deceived. It could be real soldiers or fake. But I refuse to believe they are real. Also Sanwo Olu warned lagosians to go home. He probably got a tip off. But we did not listen. It's sad. Let's not put blame again pls. Let this just die down and let's have matured guys to be in the panel of investigation and compensation.
ReplyDeleteYou must be a simpleton to believe these people are this naive.
DeleteYou are very stupid...guys this is exactly the speech made by an ass licker. I say it again the protest has no leader so there is no one to bribe.
DeleteOloriburuku ni ogbeni yi sha
ReplyDeleteAre they supposed to kill or injure protesters at all whether they got the time wrong or not?
No need to talk much sha,.
All our leaders are wicked and them no dey gboran.
Thank you, let me ask the question again, are they supposed to kill or injure protesters at all whether they got the time wrong or not? Bunch of wicked leaders.
DeleteWhy are you talking from both sides of your mouth? Better start talking
ReplyDeleteThe dragon is approaching him to burn him that's why he is gradually changing mouth. He said no casualties abi, e go over him. Murderer.
ReplyDeleteThat dragon no get time for rubbish!
DeleteWhen you have people that do not have integrity in power. After he said it was powers beyond him that gave d order now hes saying they got the instructions wrong.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Army denied it all and said their men were never at lekki toll gate that yesterday.
This bastard is still talking..his spin doctors keep up coming up with new tales each one different from the day before...You just dug ya grave Sanwoolu..you and your family will reap curses to the 5th generation for your complicity in the Lekki Massacre.
ReplyDeleteThis man should keep quiet and stop contradicting himself.
ReplyDeleteYou guys had it all planned from the onset when the army started doing python dance.
All of a sudden the soldiers got the instructions wrong? Who instructed them sir? So they were actually suppose to go and kill at 10.30pm but they got there earlier?? Useless lots.
Apparently the soldiers were desperate to shoot
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, is Buhari now deaf and dumb coupled with his Dementia? Old age is indeed a blessing but one should know when to retire and rest.
ReplyDeleteThe way he was hell bent on being the president like he had a lot to offer Nigerians, monumental failure.
Fela said Buhari is an animal in craze skin.. there’s your answer.
DeleteI thought he first said it was powers beyond his control?Is this man okay at all?
ReplyDeleteHe is not okay, Ambode said it before.
DeleteThis man is just not serious. Even if they heard you right, are they supposed to shoot at anyone still found outside during curfew hours? This is not a country, please.
ReplyDeleteSanwo-olu, you can lie all you want but we the people know that you were deeply involved in these murders. You are a murderer and your reward will be that of a murderer. Seyi Tinubu,you are a murderer and your reward awaits you. You too can keep on with the lies. Bola Tinubu, you are a murderer and your reward awaits you. President Buhari you are a murderer and your reward awaits you. We will always remember but most importantly God will remember.
ReplyDeleteThey will surely get their recompense as long as God is God.
DeleteThe military men who killed them didn't they see them unarmed before shooting. All of them are answerable to this crime. No one should be spared.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!This man keeps coming up with obnoxious lies.He sure needs the services of a psychiatrist.
ReplyDeleteAnd this man go school true true? He can only be free if he has no hand in those death. Instruction from who??? Instructions when they dont repirt to you??? So you were aware there was an instruction??? Soldiers are not police, tgey are well trained, disciplined and orderly. Once you say go, they go. You say shoit, tgey shoot. You say stop, they stop. Are they unknown soldiers? ??? Who ordered them to the tollgate??? Who ordered the dismantling of the cctv there and why??? WHY WOULD SOLDIER BE SENT TO GO AFTER PEACEFUL PROTESTORS ON A PARTICULAR SPOT INSIDE NIGERIA WITH OUR FLAG IN THEIR HANDS?? Are soldiers internal law enforcement forces??? WHY NOT SEND THEM TO KILL BOKO HARAM TGE SAME WAY??? The blood on your hands and your unborn generations is just too much-all of you will pay dearly.
ReplyDelete14:11 please tell him oh!
Delete@"Soldiers are not police, tgey are well trained, disciplined and orderly. Once you say go, they go. You say shoit, tgey shoot. You say stop, they stop. Are they unknown soldiers?"
"Are soldiers internal law enforcement forces??? WHY NOT SEND THEM TO KILL BOKO HARAM TGE SAME WAY???'
😤😤😤
Governor please can you please hush it???
ReplyDeleteYou are digging yourself deeper into the shit!!!
Kaị!
Being a puppet is not really easy ooooooh!
This man should stop embarrassing himself.
ReplyDeleteDid he not initially say NO army was ever sent to Lekki tollgate?
ReplyDeleteNow he's saying he sent them but at a later time?
1, you didn't know if the shooting
ReplyDelete2, ok you know but fatality is just 1.
3, you don't know who gave the instructions and the power was beyond you.
4, ok aproko queen have leaked the instructions given to the soldiers but you still don't know who gave the order.
Dear Mr Governor,
Do you still remember how thunder and lightning killed cows in ekiti state
🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆 Kazmor is a savage queen!!!!!!!!!
DeleteStop contraditing yourself mr governor.
ReplyDeleteSomeone please tell this man to Shut up please
ReplyDeleteTinubu and his family has escaped
The more he talks the more aggressive the people would be.
Oga... Shut up
Fuck you!
ReplyDeleteWhat is osinbajo still doing in this evil govt?he is a pastor and SAN for Christ’s sake...
ReplyDeleteConfusion don set in, ewwwooo😵
ReplyDeleteStella pls post my comments.I am really angry right now.The truth is this country is under darkness and those that are responsible for this darkness is our bad and corrupt leaders.They are responsible for all the mayhem that is happening in this country.This is so sad but you know what,I dont pity them.I wont even curse them.Their woes is waiting for them.How I wish these our corrupt politicians can open their spiritual eyes and see what is waiting for them in the beyond.They will cry and regret their actions for thousands of years.This world is vanity.They will surely reap what they sow.Some will even regret coming to this world.Any position you find yourself,just know that you are fortunate to be there and God want to use you to help others in need not hurt others.
ReplyDeleteBukkier you have said it all, 👌. "Their woes is waiting for them.How I wish these our corrupt politicians can open their spiritual eyes and see what is waiting for them in the beyond.They will cry and regret their actions for thousands of years.This world is vanity.They will surely reap what they sow.Some will even regret coming to this world."
DeleteSeconded and thirded. JUSTICE is awaiting them. They are just fattening themselves up for the day of slaughter. The wicked will surely receive their reward. Destruction awaits them
DeleteI thought he didn’t about them?
ReplyDeleteWhen you tell a lie to cover a lie, you continue lying. Just keep quiet pls.
ReplyDeleteLie lie governor
ReplyDeleteWe don't care about the time sir. Who gave the order to shoot?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with you all? Telling him to keep quiet. Why should he keep quiet when the blood of the innocent is crying for justice. Sanwo Olu must talk talk till he reveal the truth. He must confess. He must pay. All those involved must be exposed sooner or later. ICC is waiting for them all.
ReplyDeleteSanwo Olu shall know no peace untill he confess. Do the right thing!! If it is to resign you do it honourable. Apart from that no rrst for the wicked. I can't believe some people here are telling him to hush so as not to contradict himself further. Who are you protecting? How about those dead lives? How will justice be paid if he doesn't talk, contradict himself and mess up on their plan? You people better be careful this evening oo. Accomplices.
ReplyDeleteThis man takes us for fools. Even a 2 year old KG child knows whats up. But what I know is that he and his cohorts will surely pay for their wickedness on innocent civilians. They will pay dearly and bitterly!
ReplyDeleteJide the LIAR... Right from his banking days at First Atlantic. A leopard can't change its spots.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile Tinubu threw him way UNDER the bus via his son Seyi.
These people and their lack of loyalty to any cause.
