She also lauded Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Lekki Concession Company for cooperating in the ongoing probe.
“Important the @LagosSarsPanel accesses CCTV footage to help explain what happened on 20/10 at #Lekki so I welcome the appearance of @LCCTollRoad at the panel in Lagos, and ongoing work to ensure accountability for crimes committed,” she tweeted.
Meanwhile, THE WHISTLER earlier reported that LCC had claimed before the Lagos State panel that its cameras stopped working moments after soldiers arrived at the location on October 20, 2020, hence did not capture the shooting incident.
Recall that prior to the Lekki incident, many Nigerians had trooped out to protest police brutality across the country.
