Popular rapper, Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz, and Comedian Bishop Umoh known as Okon Lagos, have reacted to the Nigerian Army and Police indictment in the panel reports submitted to the Governor of Lagos State.
The Lagos judicial panel on police brutality on Monday, November 15, submitted its report to the state government and it was received by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Government House in Ikeja.
The panel submitted two sets of reports: a consolidated report on police brutality cases and the Lekki incident investigation.
“From the evidence of General A.I.Taiwo (Commander, 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Nigerian Army, Victoria Island, Lagos) on pages 6, 7, 21, 22, the Panel finds that the Nigerian Army fired both blank and live bullets at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, for the following reasons:
“Apart from the military men in uniform, the Army left its base with vehicles, rifles and guns, containing live and blank bullets. General Taiwo admitted on page 22 that the Army went to the Lekki Toll Gate with live ammunition.
“As of October 30, 2020, when the Panel visited the Lekki Toll Gate for its on the spot assessment, it recovered two bullets shells duly analyzed by the forensic expert hired by the Panel, Sentinel, who is very familiar with weapons used by the Nigerian Army.
“These bullet shells were said to be the same as or similar to those usually used by the Nigerian Army, and they have expended shells, meaning they were fired live at the Lekki Toll Gate,” the report reads.
Reacting to this, Falz referred to the Nigerian government as animals. He said they tried hard to make the youths believe they were insane with what had occurred on October 20, 2020.
He said, “These animals legit made us doubt our sanity about the Lekki Massacre you know. Panel don compile their report an. We gather dey!”
Okon Lagos blasted Lai Mohammed subtly for his stance on the case.
He said, “The truth about the Lekki tollgate killings is out now! What a tough job you’ve got Uncle Lai to defend a lie. This sleeping dog refuses to lie.
“Big step to a big win for Justice and the people. Thank you Lagos State Government. Oya Let the prosecutions and compensations commence. Eyes are watching…”
Taking to her verified Twitter page, DJ Switch wrote, “Shattered so many lives, tried to destroy mine. Only for what you desperately tried to hide to be made public… by you! The truth needs no defence! #EndSARS.”
