“For the blood that Buhari, Sanwo-Olu, Tinubu and Osinbajo spilled in Lekki today there will be consequences,” Fani-Kayode tweeted.

The former Minister posted one of the online video showing men in military uniform shooting and wrote” How can you justify the barbarity that took place at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos yesterday evening? I have thought about it long and hard and I have not been able to sleep all night because I just can’t get my head around it! “
..The soldiers turned off the street lights and plunged the whole place into darkness.
“They surrounded the children and barricaded them in from both sides so they had nowhere to run.
They removed all the CCTV cameras in the area and jammed alll the cell phone lines…”
“Those that butchered our kids at Lekki are not soldiers but beasts. They were led by one Brig. Gen. F.O. Omata. His name shall go down in infamy & shame for eternity. The blood that he shed will haunt his family & lineage from generation to generation. “
