Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), has said, it is likely that the supposed soldiers who shot at #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate, in Lagos, were hoodlums wearing military fatigues.
Malami said this while speaking with journalists on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, investigation is ongoing to ascertain what truly happened at the Lekki tollgate, on the October, 20, when protesters vame under attack.
“You cannot rule out the possibility of perhaps hoodlums that set in to create a scene… could equally partake in the process,” the AGF said.
The Lekki tollgate incident had sparked outrage across the country and in diaspora, with the military denying anyone was killed.
The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has set up a judicial panel to that effect and also urged anyone who has experienced police brutality or been affected by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad(SARS) to come forward with evidence.
