The Lagos State Government has released its White Paper on the report by the #EndSARS panel.
Gatekeepers News reports that the #EndSars panel probed the Lekki toll gate incident which occurred on October 20, 2020.
In its white paper, Lagos state government rejected the panel’s report that nine persons were killed at the toll gate when soldiers stormed the protest ground to disperse the protesters. The white paper described the claim of the panel that nine persons were shot dead as “assumptions and speculations”.
Gbenga Omotoso, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, said this in statement titled ‘Highlight of the Lagos Government White Paper On The Lekki Incident Investigation’,
He said one of the recommendations of the panel was rejected.
Omotoso said, “Out of the 32 Recommendations made by the JPI in its Report of 15th November 2021, Government accepted 11, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.
“Fourteen recommendations fall outside the powers of the Lagos State Government and will be forwarded to the Federal Government for consideration. Let the healing begin.”
