Nigerian Army had said Sanwo-Olu ordered the soldiers to be called out when it declared a curfew. The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu says the Nigerian Army lied in saying that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu ordered soldiers to be brought out, leading to shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate.
The Governor
had been under fire since the army made its revelation, as many people asked
the governor to speak out, but he has not done so.
Coming to
Sanwo-Olu’s defence in series of tweets, Kanu said nobody should believe the
Nigerian Army’s claim that Sanwo-Olu ordered soldiers to be brought to Lekki.
“Nobody
should believe the Nigerian Army’s claim that it was Babajide Sanwo-Olu that
ordered for soldiers to be brought to Lekki.
”It’s a
brazen Lie. Since when did Governors become Army Commanders. Lekki Massacre was
ordered by the Fulani Nigerian President and executed by a Fulanized Army,” he
alleged.
He charged
junior officers in the army to disobey illegal orders of their superior
officers.
”Dear junior
officers & other ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces: Under the Armed Forces
Act, you’ve the right to disobey illegal orders of your superior officers.
Being ordered by Nigerian Army
to kill
Nigerian youths is illegal. It’s a crime. Disobey it. Heavens won’t fall,” he
admonished.
