“I have no dime, no kobo investment in the toll gate,” Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC Leader disclosed on Wednesday.
His declaration came against the backdrop of claims that he instructed soldiers to disperse protesters because of the daily loss of income at the toll gate allegedly owned by him.
According to Tinubu, “I have no investment in the Lekki Concession Company.” The firm manages the toll gate.
He spoke during an interview on Channels Television.
TInubu said he had no hand in the carnage that had rocked Lagos since Tuesday, saying, “I will never be part of carnage. I will never be part of that.”
Live broadcast was disrupted this morning when suspected thugs attacked Television Continental, TVC, at Ikosi-Ketu, Lagos and set part of the television station ablaze.
The television station immediately went off air.
This came immediately after one of the hosts in Your View, an all-female talk show on TVC, Tope Mark-Odigie said: “Thugs are at the gate.”
Before then the anchor of the show, Morayo Afolabi Brown, had had a live interview with Miyen Akiri, a TVC correspondent covering the tense situation at Ikoyi-Lekki bridge in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Angry thugs must have attacked the station as a result of the death of more than nine unarmed peaceful protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate when soldiers opened fire on them on Tuesday 20 October, 2020.
Tinubu condemned the shooting, asking: “Why would they use live bullets?” (with Podium Media reports)
