The chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages management committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, says the killing of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Tollgate in 2020 could not be connected to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.He stated this recently during the rally he organized in Lagos to support his candidates, Bola Tinubu, and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.Oluomo said it was rather a political game by Tinubu’s counterparts in the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party to discredit Tinubu.The transport boss noted that it was not possible that there would be killing of protesters and the corpses would not be revealed and families of the deceased ask for their loved ones.Recall that in October 2020, thousands of youths trooped out to the streets in Nigeria and the Diaspora, protesting extra-judicial killing by the police, particularly by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad.Following the shooting at Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020, a Judicial Panel was set up by the state government to investigate petitions on police brutality in the state.The panel submitted two reports — one on police brutality cases and another on the Lekki incident investigation.The report had since being a subject of controversy, especially with the Federal Government rejecting the panel’s report for inconsistencies.
