Despite the court decision to drop the charges, Tompolo still remained in hiding until October 19, 2020, when he made an appearance at the Egbesu Shrine in his Oporoza country home in Gbaramatu, Delta State.

Kukah averred that there is no reason for the President's continous silence as he pointed out that youths are risking their lives to fight for their rights. He added that the only way out is for the President to “let them know someone feels their pain.”   He said;    “I really cannot understand this. I feel totally helpless in the sense that I cannot find any reason and I don’t think any Nigerian in the right frame of mind can find a reason to why the president has remained so silent on this crisis."

CCTV cameras were not taken away from the tollgate - Gov Sanwo-Olu

Image
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state was on Arise TV on Thursday morning, October 22, where he denied claims that the CCTV cameras at the Lekki tollgate were taken down before the gunshot incident on Tuesday, October 20.   I will just say the truth of what happened. Nobody ordered. I called the managing director of  LCC  that night when I saw the pictures and what he said to me was that because of the curfew that had been announced, they took a decision that they will take out installations that were critical to them. That camera that you saw is not a security camera, it's not a motion camera. It's a laser camera for vehicles. When you are approaching the toll plaza, you would remember that there is a camera that is at the level of your car. What that camera does is that it picks the tags and number plates of cars approaching the toll plaza. It’s an infrared camera and not a security camera. “Security cameras for the Lekki toll plaza are s...
