\n
The Sustainable Initiative for Nurturing Growth(SING) Nigeria, has demanded an unreserved apology from the minister of information and culture, Alh Lai Mohammad, over his earlier claims \u201cthat there was no shootings at Lekki and that no Nigerian youth was killed\u201d on October 20, 2020.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThis is following the submission of report by the Lagos State Judicial Panel on police brutality during the #EndSARS protest.<\/p>\n

Describing the Minister\u2019s claims as unnecessary, the group also called for the exclusion of the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, from the panel that would implement the recommendations of the outcome of the report.<\/p>\n

SING Nigeria, which spoke through its programme manager, Obianuju Iloanya, in Abuja, said that the report was a vindication that live bullets were shot at protesters by personnel of the Nigerian Army.<\/p>\n

The group also called for the public prosecution of the indicted officers of the Nigerian Army and its Police counterpart including Lt. Col. Bello, the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) and other actors involved in the mayhem.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond the paper indictment of authorities involved in the October 20, 2020 Lekki incidence, in the interest of justice and fairness, those that have been figured to have been involved in giving the order that led to the shootings at the tollgate should be publicly prosecuted, and this includes; governor Sanwo-Olu, Lt. Col. Bello, officers of the Nigerian Arnmy and Police who shot the live bullets, the Lekki Concession Company and other actors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand and reiterate that all their identities be made public and that they be prosecuted to the full extent of the law; as we call on the government to implement all the recommendations of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the minister to issue a public apology to the Nigerian victims of the Laiki shootings, which we believe will go a long way to pacify the wounds caused by government\u2019s insistence on the contrary,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
