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