Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has refuted claims by the Army that Governor of Lagos state Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited them to Lekki tollgate a while before the shooting of EndSARS protesters ensued.
The 81 Division of the Nigerian Army had earlier admitted in a statement that its soldiers though present at the scene of the protest but did not open fire on protesters.
The division also disclosed that they stormed Lekki toll gate on the order of Sanwo-Olu.
However, the IPOB leader described the Army’s claim as false.
In a tweet, Kanu insisted that the governor was not the head of Army.
He tweeted: “Nobody should believe @HQNigerianArmy’s claim that it was @jidesanwoolu that ordered for soldiers to be brought to #Lekki.
“It’s a brazen LIE. Since when did Governors become Army Commanders. #LekkiMassacre was ordered by the Fulanized @NGRPresident and executed by a Fulanized Army.”
