Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Obafemi Hamzat said the state government has put into effect several recommendations of the judicial panel that was established to investigate the October 20, 2020 Lekki tollgate incident.
The judicial panel was set up after the Lekki tollgate shooting, an episode that occurred during the nationwide #EndSARS protests when security forces opened fire on demonstrators, leading to loss of life and widespread condemnation.
Hamzat’s remarks, made in Lagos, indicate that the Lagos administration has acted on the panel’s advice, although the specific measures taken were not detailed in the statement.
Implementing the panel’s recommendations is presented as part of the state’s broader effort to address the grievances raised by the protests and to rebuild public confidence in government institutions.
The deputy governor’s comments come as Lagos continues to navigate the political and social fallout from the #EndSARS movement, with the state seeking to demonstrate accountability for the events at Lekki.
