Reacting in a statement, the state Commission of information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said his principal, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered investigation into the massacre which has reportedly left over a dozen dead.
“There have been reports of shooting at the Lekki Toll Plaza, following the 24-hour curfew imposed on Lagos State to stop criminals, who hid under the #EndSARS protests to unleash mayhem on innocent citizens,” Mr Omotoso said.
“The State Government has ordered an investigation into the incident.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has advised the security agents not to arrest anyone on account of the curfew, which he urges residents to observe for the peaceful atmosphere we all cherish,” he added.
