The Lagos state chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has charged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to give clarification on how his administration came about 103 corpses as victims of the#EndSARS protest being proposed for burial.
The party said the explanation was necessary because Governor Sanwo-Olu had initially claimed that nobody was killed in the protest except one person; moreso that he needed to shed more light on what circumstances led to the death of such a magnitude number of people.
Addressing the press in Lagos, the state chairman of the party, Pastor Dayo Ekong, accused the state government of not being sincere with the information being dished out, just as she said there were evidences that those killed in the protest were more than the number of corpses declared.
She noted that whether the corpses were of those killed in Ketu, Agege or even Lekki, is immaterial.
The party also demanded to know those who invited the military to the protest scene at Lekki, stressing that from all indications, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is callous, stating that when the supporters of APC staged a protest at Ojota for two weeks over a fuel hike under President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, no soul was lost.
On the petition filed by the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi at the President Election Petition Tribunal, the party said it stands by its presidential candidate, just as it warned the judiciary to be mindful of what it is doing because all eyes are on the judiciary. (Blueprint)
