#EndSARS: 103 Recovered Bodies, Proof Of Massacre That Took lace — Lagos PDP Guber Candidate, Jandor

Lagos governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR), has expressed shock over the state government’s plan to conduct mass burial for 103 victims of the year 2020 #EndSARS protest, describing the development as vindication of panel report on Lekki Toll Gate massacre.

The PDP governorship candidate said this on Tuesday in a statement issued by Head, Media & Communications JANDOR4Governor Campaign Organisation, Mr Gbenga Ogunleye, noting that the mass burial being organised for the 103 corpses recorded from the wanton killing of citizens, mostly youths across the state, was an admittance on the part of the government that a massacre took place, despite denial from the authorities for three years.

It would be recalled that the Lagos State government has in its latest response insisted that no life was lost during the protest that took place at the Lekki Toll Gate.

JANDOR condemned what he described as the “callous and inhuman treatment of innocent citizens and the desecration of their memory by the brazen-faced denial of their needless and avoidable murder”.

He also posited that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu should be prosecuted if found guilty.

“This of course is imminent with the state of the proceeding at the ongoing Lagos State Election Petition Tribunal,” Jandor said.

The PDP chieftain once again, commiserated with the families of the victims, praying God to grant them “the fortitude to bear the painful loss of their loved ones which has been reopened by the insensitivity of the APC-led state government.”

He admonished the residents of the state especially the youths to stay firm in demanding accountability from the government and to keep hope alive as they anticipated the birthing of a breath of fresh air in the State.
