Lekki Shootings: I have not spoken to Buhari directly since incident – Sanwo-olu

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that he was yet to speak to President Buhari after the shootings at Lekki.

He made this known in an interview on Arise TV on Thursday, October 22.

Despite releasing a statement on the shooting, Nigerians expect President Buhari to address the nation.

Yet to be known soldiers allegedly shot at peaceful protesters triggering a wave of violence across the country leading to buildings and properties being burnt, looted, or destroyed, Nairametrics said.

The Governor has been at the forefront of controlling the situation and curbing the degeneration of law and order in the state.

Of particular interest is the question around who ordered the soldiers to the Lekki Toll Gate. The Governor had mentioned that he does not have powers over the military and could not have ordered the soldiers.
