Lekki Shooting: Afenifere Urges Probe, Seeks Urgent Restructuring To Save Nigeria From Collapse

The Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has demanded an international inquiry into the killings of armless #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate area of Lagos on Tuesday.

Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, in a statement said this became necessary since Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has denied inviting soldiers to attack the protesters.

The group also called for an urgent restructuring of the country to address its challenges and save it from collapse.

Afenifere also appealed for calm and a halt to destruction of lives and properties while seeking an apology from the governor to assuage the feelings of many victims’ families and friends.

He said, ” We demand to know who deployed the killers through an international inquiry.

“We demand the arrest and trial of all trigger-happy men who have caused sorrow, tears and blood.

“We call for the immediate restructuring of Nigeria to avoid imminent collapse.

“We call on the governor of Lagos to show better humanity than the Federal Government by apologising over the killings to partly assuage feelings and show value for human lives.”

Recall that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo had also called for an urgent restructuring of the country following the crisis in the country.

The two groups and many others have consistently called for restructuring of the country to make it work and to address many of the problems plaguing it.
