The Lagos state government has insisted that the bodies of 103 victims of #EndSARS protest from 2020 being prepared for mass burial are not from the Lekki tollgate.
In a statement released on Sunday, the government said no dead body was retrieved from the Lekki tollgate.
“For the records, the Lagos State Environmental Health Unit picked up bodies in the aftermath of #EndSARS violence and community clashes at Fagba, Ketu, Ikorodu, Orile, Ajegunle, Abule-Egba, Ikeja, Ojota, Ekoro, Ogba, Isolo and Ajah areas of Lagos state,” the statement reads.
“There was also a jailbreak at Ikoyi Prison. The 103 casualties mentioned in the document were from these incidents and NOT from Lekki Toll-gate as being alleged.
“For the avoidance of doubt, no body was retrieved from the Lekki Toll Gate incident,” the statement read.
