Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said that no fatality was recorded after the Lekki toll gate shooting yesterday.

The governor said that he and his team visited different hospitals and mortuaries in the state before coming to the conclusion.

Sanwo-Olu made this known in a live broadcast on Wednesday to dispel rumours on social media that many were killed in the shooting.

He said:

“Fellow Lagosians, whilst we pray for the swift recovery of the injured, we are comforted that we have not recorded any fatality as against the widespread speculations on social media.

“Both myself and the leadership of the ministry of health have been going round. Indeed, we went round all the hospitals last night, we went round the mortuaries last night, to see and to monitor for ourselves what has happened.”

 

Sanwo-Olu just said nobody died in the attack by the military on peaceful protesters at the lekki toll gate last night??!!
