LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – A new video is trending on the social media where Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, has refuted claims that lives were lost during the ENDSARS protests that swept across Nigeria in 2020.
The Chairman of Lagos Parks and Garages Management made this claim while addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during their 5-million man march to support the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in Lagos on Sunday.
MC Oluomo claimed that the reports that people died were false, as he also emphatically stated that Asiwaju Bola could not have ordered the shooting which took place at the Lekki Toll Gate.
He said: “I want to speak on ENDSARS and I want you to listen…
“They said people died during ENDSARS (protest), where are their bodies, where were they buried? That is number one.
“Number two, do the deceased not have family members in Nigeria? Number three, has Nigeria gone to bribe heartless mothers so much that we’ve not seen anybody crying on the social media, saying they’re in search of their missing siblings?
“Is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the Chief of Army Staff or the President to have given the order for them (the soldiers) to shoot at the Toll Gate?
“These are the lies they have been telling (you) to deceive you. They’re all lies. They are trying to relegate the Yorubas to the background.
“Now, let us all come out en masse, it is a political game. Atiku and Obi are the ones who ganged up to peddle such lies.”
