IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has said that the Nigerian Army lied against Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State concerning the Lekki shooting.

Recall that EndSARS protesters were allegedly shot by some soldiers of the Nigerian Army at the Lekki toll gate.

In a statement issued yesterday, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army said that their presence at the toll gate was ordered by the Lagos State Government.

This has been labelled as a “brazen lie” by Nnamdi Kanu who said that they were ordered to the toll gate by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

He tweeted:

“Nobody should believe @HQNigerianArmy’s claim that it was @jidesanwoolu that ordered for soldiers to be brought to #Lekki.

“It’s a brazen LIE. Since when did Governors become Army Commanders. #LekkiMassacre was ordered by the Fulanized @NGRPresident and executed by a Fulanized Army.”
