The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has called on the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed to immediately resign for lying to Nigerians.
the call was made following the report of the Panel of Investigation set by the Lagos State Government to unravel the incident of October 20, 2020, at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos State, Nigeria.
Lai Mohammed, in a series of press conferences, denied the massacre and even made the CNN retract its report.
Reacting to the report, the Minority Leader of the House, Rep. Ndudi Elumelu said the Federal Government has a lot of questions to answer regarding the killings.
The minority caucus in a statement issued on Thursday accused officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to cover up the now confirmed bloody massacre of Nigerians youths by security forces at the Lekki Tollgate
“The confirmation by the Lagos Panel that there was indeed a massacre at the Lekki Tollgate during the 2020 EndSARS protests in Lagos and that APC government-controlled security forces carted away bodies and mopped up evidence, places a huge burden on the Federal Government which had vehemently denied any killings.
