EndSARS REPORT: SACK LAI MOHAMMED, REPS CAUCUS ASKS BUHARI

 

#EndSARS report: Reps minority caucus asks Buhari to ‘sack Lai for falsehood’

Lai Mohammed
The minority caucus in the house of representatives has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture.

The caucus was reacting to the findings of the #EndSARS report submitted to the Lagos government on Monday.

The Lagos judicial panel on police brutality, in its report — which included investigation on the Lekki shooting — said protesters were killed at Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.

I had been reported that Mohammed, on five different occasions, said nobody was killed at the Lekki tollgate.

In a statement issued on Thursday by Ndudi Elumelu, leader of the minority caucus, the lawmakers said it is shocking to “lie in a matter that has to do with the gruesome killing of citizens”.

“The confirmation by the Lagos Panel that there was indeed a massacre at the Lekki tollgate during the 2020 EndSARS protests in Lagos and that APC government-controlled security forces carted away bodies and mopped up evidence, places a huge burden on the Federal Government which had vehemently denied any killings,” the statement reads.

“The minority caucus is therefore apprehensive as to what furtive motive must have made the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who ought to know the truth, to rush to the media, ahead of the judicial panel, to insist that there were no killings at Lekki Tollgate, even in the face of testimonies of witnesses at the sad event.

   Shettima Condemnns Tinubu’s Removal of Rivers Governor, Fubara ...says President has no such powers. Vice-President Kashim Shettima has raised concerns over the legality of removing an elected governor without constitutional backing, in what appeared to be a veiled criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s controversial ouster of Rivers State Governor Simi Fubara in March 2025. Although the National Assembly later ratified the decision, reports alleged that lawmakers were bribed by the president’s allies. Since then, a retired military general has been acting in Fubara’s place. Speaking at a book launch in Abuja on Thursday, Shettima referenced his experience as former governor of Borno State to warn against presidential overreach. He recalled how former President Goodluck Jonathan once considered removing him, only to be advised against it by then-Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and Attorney-General Mohammed Adoke. “You do not have the power to remove a sitting governor,” Shettima quote...
