The Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo has come out to say that it is wrong for Babajide Sanwo-Olu to deny inviting soldiers to restore peace and order at Lekki Toll Gate amid #EndSARS protests.

Recall that the governor had said, “I don’t know how the officers got it all wrong because the instruction was that police won’t be out until 10-10:30 p.m. when all citizens should have gotten to their various homes. This is totally against what we stand for.

“The army does not report to me, I have reported the matter to the highest command in the military. It’s not something we are going to gloss over. A judicial panel will be set up to investigate it. I have escalated it to the highest level of the military,”

Reacting, Gen. Ahmed Taiwo recently said that Sanwo-Olu did call for the intervention of the army and he surely had more than reasonable grounds to take that step.

His words, “I spoke with the governor and said the army was unhappy that he said he did not ask the army to intervene. But I’m sure, after we’ve watched everything, we saw he had more than reasonable grounds to ask the army to intervene.”
