The Lagos State Government said its attention has been drawn to reports that an #ENDSARS protester was killed in Surulere, saying it was not true.

According to the report, a group of hoodlums stormed the Anti-Kidnapping Unit at Hogan Bassey Street, Surulere, to free two suspects standing trial for alleged kidnapping. They shot three officers. One of them, Inspector Erinfolami Ayodeji, unfortunately, died. The others are Inspectors Ekein Joshua and Peter Agabi.

The hoodlums, while escaping, fired into the air. A bystander was hit. He also died – sadly.

The Lagos Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, commiserated with the families, who lost their loved ones and prayed that God will strengthen them.

He urged all those concerned to ensure that these protests do not degenerate further and create room for hoodlums, who do not mean well for our society.

He further assured that the Government is working with the Police to ensure the restoration of the peace that Lagos has always been proud of.
