The Lagos state government has reacted to reports claiming it has approved the sum of N61 million for the mass burial of bodies recovered during the crisis that eruoted during October 20, 2020 EndSARS protest.
A document from the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency to the state Ministry of Health approving the money for the mass burial made the round on social media earlier today, July 23. Some Nigerians attacked the state government for approving the money when during the crisis, the state government claimed nobody died at the Lekki tollgate.
Reacting to the backlash, the state government in a statement released, said the bodies to be buried were retrieved from other parts of the state and not from Lekki tollgate. The state government insists nobody was k!lled at the Lekki tollgate.
