Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday disregarded claims by the Army that their invitation to the End SARS protest at Lekki Toll gate was given by Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Kanu on the other hand holds out that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the soldiers to kill the protesters not Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Recall that last week Tuesday, gunmen in military uniform stormed the Lekki toll gate and shot at peaceful protesters.
The gunmen had killed some of the protesters during the crisis and even went along with some of the bodies to leave no trace.
Following the backlash, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army had admitted that it’s soldiers were present at the scene of the protest but did not kill anybody.
The division also claimed that they stormed Lekki toll gate on the order of Sanwo-Olu. Which is contrary to what the IPOB leader believes.
In a recent tweet by Nnamdi Kanu, he 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.”
