‘Who ordered the shootings?’ — Sowore demands prosecution over Lekki Toll Gate incident

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, has called for the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the shootings at Lekki Toll Gate during the EndSARS protests, six years after the incident. Marking the October 20 anniversary, he asked who ordered the shootings and called for investigations into Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and military and police commanders. He also urged investigators to examine allegations that the toll gate’s CCTV camera was removed before the shootings. Sowore pledged that if elected in 2027, his administration would reopen the investigation, establish the chain of command and prosecute anyone found culpable, regardless of rank or political connections.
