EndSARS Report: ‘I knew there was calamity at Lekki’ — Desmond Elliot

Lagos State Lawmaker, Desmond Elliot has reacted to the EndSARS panel report.

Gatekeepers News reports that Nigerian actor and Member representing Surulere at the Lagos State House Of Assembly, South West Nigeria, Desmond Elliot has reacted to the State’s EndSARS panel report.

Elliot said this while reacting to the report on the Wake Up Nigeria programme on TVC.

He said that he read the report but already knew that the incident was chaotic.

Elliot also claimed that he knew that the truth regarding the incident would surface stating that it was a pattern for the government in power.

He said, “I read it and it was very heartbreaking. Heartwrenching. I knew there was a calamity, chaos. Except you are not Nigerian or you are not human. You would feel for everybody.

“I have always said something. When MKO died and the government of the day denied and denied, it took this government to come and say you know what, we have wronged you; this is the truth. And they actually gave Democracy Day.

“We have always said the truth comes out. There is no how you would try to hide it, the truth would come out.

“But I now looked at it from another angle. Is it possible that this government didn’t know what was going to come out? Of course, they did. But the government of today, I am talking of the state government, I want to believe knew what was going to come out.

“There is going to be an official statement so let me not jump the gun because I am also in office.”
