Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has stated that the Lekki gunshot incident on October 20 may have been effectuated by hoodlums who were wearing military fatigues and hired to make a scene.
There was crackup of law and order in many parts of the country last week after gunshots were fired at #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate.
The military had initially denied reports of its officers at the scene of the incident but later released a statement saying they were deployed to the tollgate following a request by the Lagos state government.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Monday, November 2, Malami said an investigation is ongoing to reveal what truly transpired at the Lekki tollgate. According to Malami,
“You cannot rule out the possibility of perhaps hoodlums that set in to create a scene… could equally partake in the process,” the Cable quotes Malami as saying
The Lekki tollgate incident had sparked off outrage across the country.
