Why Buhari Should Be Held Responsible For #LekkiMassacre, Bamgbose Reveals—A senior Lawyer Of Nigeria, Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., has described the shootings of unarmed civilian protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, by soldiers of the Nigerian army as highly condemnable, barbaric and an open act of brutality.
According to Bamgbose, Buhari Should Be Held Responsible For #LekkiMassacre as the incident was unfortunate, unacceptable, unjustifiable and a clear indication that his administration is anti-people.
He also added that President Buhari has indeed lost his reputation as a leader.
His statement reads:
“On our part as an organization, we have lost confidence in this government. We are clearly passing a vote of no confidence in this administration.
“The government is fast becoming dictatorial in nature. The President should have known that no manner of force can stop a lawful agitation. Nigerian youths are irrepressible.
“It’s really getting clearer that APC government is a colossal failure. What on earth, would have made the Chief of Army Staff to order the shooting of harmless Nigerians agitating against Police Brutality.
“This is absurd. This government should be properly informed that the voice of the people is stronger than the voice of gunshots. No amount of force, intimidation and molestation, will stop the agitation for better life of the citizens.
“What does the Government expect when we have about 14 million Nigerians who are without jobs? Our Universities students are at home wasting away, there is hardship in the land.
”The agitation is unstoppable. President Buhari should be held accountable for the loss of lives. In a matter of days, we shall compile the necessary information for the world to know what is happening in Nigeria. The ICC will equally be formally notified. Enough is enough of this executive rascality and high handedness.”
