Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reacted to reports of shooting at the Lekki Toll Plaza, following the 24-hour curfew imposed on Lagos State to stop criminals who hid under the #EndSARS protests to unleash mayhem on innocent citizens, saying he had ordered an investigation into the incident.
The governor said this in a statement made available by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, adding that he had advised the security agents not to arrest anyone on account of the curfew, which he urged residents to observe for the peaceful atmosphere that everyone cherished.
Sanwo-Olu, while promising to do everything within his power to ensure that the lives of all Lagosians were protected at all times, however, enjoined all Lagosians to remain calm and not allow criminals, who had hijacked the noble protest of the gallant youths, to succeed in their evil plan of turning the state upside down.
