End SARS: Anarchy has broken loose before Lekki shooting – Presidency

The Presidency has explained that Anarchy has broken loose before even Lekki shooting of October 20.

Femi Adesina, the Senior Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, who made this disclosure, said the End SARS protest had been hijacked by some forces before the military intervened.

“Anarchy has broken loose before even Lekki. The prisons in Benin and Oko had been broken before Lekki; Orile police station had been burnt before Lekki; many policemen had been burnt before Lekki so you cannot say that Lekki precipitated all those things. Look at the timelines. Check when those things happened you’ll see that they had happened before Lekki.

“Amnesty International does not have all the facts. They don’t run this country. They shouldn’t know beyond what they have been told…. certain things, criminal in nature, had happened before Lekki and to say Lekki precipitated it is not quite right.”
