BEVERLY HILLS, October 23, (THEWILL) – Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has asked families who lost their relatives during the Lekki tollgate incident to speak up.
The actress disclosed this on Friday in a tweet where she enjoined Nigerians to desist from sensationalizing the story if there were no deaths. She has since deleted the tweet.
She said: “It is a Crime of Human Rights to shoot someone not pointing a gun at you or running from you.”
“Now that the whirlwind is settling, let’s see clearly and sieve the facts from the sensation.
“Remember that the Main Reason is to Stop Police Brutality in Nigeria and we still demand to know who ordered the Terror on Peaceful protesters while there’s Still No known arrests of killer MIU.
“Who sent the Military and started the VIOLENCE and HOOLIGANISM.
“We Demand to know who brought touts in BRT buses and OFFICIAL VEHICLES.
“While the Government said SARS had ended and claimed to understand and our agitation, the people sent to rein in the enraged rioters on the streets were EXECUTING them!
“This is a Crime of Human Rights! You do not shoot someone NOT pointing a gun at you or running from you!
“EVERYONE who was involved in turning the protest into a Violent Rollercoaster should Now be Brought to book!
“If not, then everything else is a LIE! Calling on journalists, investigators, NGOs pls we have work to do.
