End SARS protesters reject Lagos governor's 'peace walk' reconciliation gesture
CNN
The Governor of Nigeria's Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said Tuesday that his government will not inflame already heightened tensions that stemmed from a report by a judicial panel that probed the October 2020 shooting of protesters at the state's Lekki toll gate.
The Lagos-appointed panel concluded the shooting of peaceful protesters at the toll gate by the military could be described as a massacre. But the report was fiercely discredited by the country's federal government with Information Minister Lai Mohammed describing it as "nothing but the triumph of fake news."
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Sanwo-Olu called for "a walk for peace" next month for reconciliation.
