The Nigerian Army says the Lagos State government invited them to intervene in the fallout of the #Endsars protest. This is coming days after Sanwo-Olu told CNN that the footage of the shooting showed that the Nigerian is responsible for the incident.
In a statement on Tuesday, Army Public Relations Officer, Osoba Olaniyi said Soldiers stayed away from the #Endsars protests until the Lagos State invited them to restore order. He said while restoring order soldiers did not shoot protesters describing reports on the attack of the protesters by the military as fake.
At no time did soldiers of he Nigerian Army open fire on any civilian. From the onset of he Endasrs protest, there was no time personnel of 81 Division Nigerian Army Lagos were involved.However, the decision to call in the military was taken by the Lagos State Government after a 24-hhour curfew was imposed.
This allegation is the hand work of mischief makers who will stop at the nothing to tarnish the image of the Nigerian Army. The general public is hereby enjoined to discountenance this allegation as there is no evidence of truth therein.
