1. There are no angels & saints in leadership in Nigeria. Only lesser devils. There are no coincidences. Everything’s been prearranged. All you see around you in 9ja, is designed. Events of 20.10.2020 is no different.

2. From the ‘Asaba Massacre’ & the ‘Biafra Genocide’ by Gowon’s forces, to the killing of the Shiites in Zaria, down to the most insane, violent & chaotic suppression of the #EndSARS protests. Nigeria is a huge crime scene, the political & tribal mafia reign supreme.
3. You just have to manage your expectations. It’s easy to commit Genocides in Africa & go scot-free. Value for life in Africa, especially in mother country Nigeria, is ZERO!!

The officers stopped us. They asked us where we were coming from. We told them we were just coming from a Ball Viewing centre. They requested to see Our phones. Kenneth asked them "Why"? The officer questioning us gave him a deadly look.Before i could blink an eye,
a slap landed on his face. The officer questioning us asked him to Shut up..
I quickly gave him my phone to avoid more problems.. He went through my phone , after few minutes he returned it back.. He then asked kenneth for his phone.
Kenneth refused
saying he has to know why he must give him his phone.. What was he looking for in his phone.. And besides a police man has no business and right perusing through a civilian's phone..
An Argument started.. I begged kenneth to please give them the phone so that we can leave

As I walk into the courtroom, I can’t help but wonder what it’s going to be like after #OccupyLekkiTollGate

Press Statement By Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC) @LCCTollRoad
Gentlemen of the Press,
 
Permit me to start by expressing our immense gratitude to you for attending today’s press conference at very short notice.
Even though we have maintained a stoic silence since the unfortunate incident of Tuesday October 20, 2020, it has become imperative for us to hold this Press Conference and talk about a few things.
Prior to now, we chose to be silent and not join the fray because we knew that tempers were still very high, as there had been a lot of misinformation circulating especially in the social media.

1. Femi Falana (SAN) is an a HUGE ASSET to Nigeria. He was spitting 🔥 on Live TV, knocking senses into CBN’s stubborn head. When some of us said; “Buhari is worse than Abacha, you thought we hate Buhari?”

Now let me walk you through some of the things the learned luminary said:
2. According to Femi Falana; “CBN got an Order Ex parte to freeze & investigate 20 #EndSARS protesters bank accounts.

Guess what? CBN froze the accounts but never investigated the allegations of money laundering & sponsorship of terrorism, leveled against the 20 protesters.
3. Now Falana believes very strongly; “the Central Bank Of Nigeria deceived the court. CBN got the Order Ex parte, but did not investigate.”

Because Rinu & the 19 peaceful #EndSARS protesters, were innocent. CBN simply froze their bank accounts for 90+ days, to make them suffer.

Let's face it: there is no logical or legal justification for embarking on #OccupyLekkiTollGate based on the ruling of the @LagosSarsPanel releasing the toll gate to its managers.
In the context of the ugly events of 20.10.10, the lekki toll plaza was a crime scene. And like all crime scenes, ought to be treated accordingly. In crime management and investigation, the purpose of a crime scene is to control, preserve, record and recover evidence from the...
…scene of an accident or crime. Usually, this is embarked upon by forensic experts who after the detailed evaluation of the scene of the crime, & issuance of a final survey or report, RELEASES the crime scene to the owners, & takes the report to the court in aid of prosecution.
