Following the attack on unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki axis of Lagos which led to death of several and injured, the State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu visits hospitals where some of the victims are currently being treated.

According to the governor in a series of tweets on , Tuesday night, “this is the toughest night of our lives as forces beyond our direct control have moved to make dark notes in our history, but we will face it and come out stronger”.

“I’ve just concluded visits to hospitals with victims of this unfortunate shooting incident at Lekki”.

“There are currently 10 patients at the Gen Hospital, 11 at Reddington and 4 at Vedic; with mild to moderate levels of injuries while 2 are receiving intensive medical care”.

“3 patients have been discharged & we will continue to monitor and ensure all patients get the best care”.

“As the Governor of our state, I recognize the buck stops at my table and I will work with the FG to get to the root of this unfortunate incident and stabilise all security operations to protect the lives of our residents”.

I will give a state broadcast in the morning.
